Nice words from Brand Learning

“Elen is an excellent writer, knowledgeable, flexible and a real pleasure to work with. She is a credit to her profession and always adds her unique and insightful perspectives to every assignment.” Mhairi McEwan

Nice words from The Marketing Society

“Elen has worked for the Marketing Society for four years as editor of our email newsletters Think and Sixty Seconds and has also provided copywriting for event promotions. We have been delighted with her work which shows a real understanding of marketers and marketing issues and she is also a delight to work with.” Hugh Burkitt

“Elen is a great writer across a wide variety of topics and is also good company and totally trustworthy. Whatever your brief, she is always worth talking to and always seems to be able to get people to tell her something interesting.” Alex Batchelor

“I am a little hesitant to write this – simply because Elen is an exceptionally talented lady who I feel should be left a best kept secret for those who are lucky enough to know her! That said, Elen has worked with us at The Marketing Society for almost four years as our copywriter and editor across everything. We started with Think, our digital magazine, which we launched with Elen as our editor to current day where she edits our wonderful new blog that we are very proud of. Elen’s passion for creative writing combined with her intuitive nature and brilliant imagination make her truly unique. Personally I find Elen huge fun, I love working with her and plan to continue to for as long as she puts up with me.” Gemma Greaves

Nice words from Brand Strategy

“Elen was an excellent editor of Brand Strategy, enabling it to make the difficult transition from a newsletter to a magazine. She has a great eye (and ear) for a story, is incredibly well connected and has a clear writing style – essential for a business journalist. Somehow she also found time to write a book on IKEA whilst also editing the magazine, so I should mention that she is a very hard worker.” Howard Sharman

“I appointed Elen as editor of Brand Strategy at a time when we wanted to turn it from a decent, but rather dry, newsletter to a thought-provoking journal of marketing trends. She ran it brilliantly. She got some of the best thinkers to write for her – for next to nothing – and she gave it a sense of importance that it had lacked. Elen brings a real flair to projects – gives them a spark that makes them stand out.” Nigel Roby

Nice words from New Media Age

“Elen knows both the marketing and digital industries inside out, having been writing about it and working in it even longer than me. She is a hugely analytical and insightful journalist.” Justin Pearse

Nice words from freelancers

“I worked for Elen for a number of years both as a full-time employee and a freelancer during her time at Brand Strategy magazine. Elen was truly a visionary person to work for. Incredibly organised and imaginative, she was able to take any product/article/event and make it something truly special on a very small budget. It’s also worth mentioning how inspiring Elen is to work for. She is one of the few people I have ever worked for who genuinely made her staff want to work harder for her because you didn’t want to let her down or disappoint her because she was herself so diligent. She worked hard to train everyone who worked for her very effectively and many of her lessons have stayed with me since. I do not consider that I would have been as successful as I have been to date without Elen’s training. Even now, I’m lucky to be able to go to Elen for advice. She is always been thinking of my own career development, even though I am no longer on her payroll! The sort of person you can work for and then build a relationship with that lasts almost 10 years (so far) is someone truly worth recommending.” Ruth Mortimer
