Client Feedback

Marcus Bailey Head of Group Communications Support - 2009
Karen came into LBG to deliver a key communication from the Directors to all our staff and those from the company we had acquired-the first ever as the new business. Karen delivered an excellent printed and online brochure, translated and delivered in special needs formats; which was enthusiastically received by all. She worked effectively across the organisation to understand the strategy and key principles and communicate sensitively, in a language that was relevant at all levels. She managed the project in tight timescales and under difficult circumstances; delivering great quality, on budget, across the globe on the day of launch.

We asked Karen then to manage the first Leadership Meeting for the new business. She delivered the whole project superbly, working efficiently with our agencies. We received excellent feedback from all our Directors and the business leaders who attended. Karen has excellent project management skills and will muck in to do whatever is needed to deliver to the high standards expected. She works well at all levels, independently and as part of a growing team. It was a pleasure to work with her and I look forward to working with her on future projects.
Tjeerd Wichers Head of Strategy and Change Management, ING Direct UK, ING Direct - 2008
Karen has been instrumental to the marketing success of ING Direct in the UK. She joined the team very early on, as the 'number 2' in Marketing. Her tasks ranged from field marketing to campaigns to competitive analysis. I have always been impressed by the 'can do' attitude and enormous workload she was able to take on. And she kept smiling all the time! A great colleague whom I can recommend to anyone in the need of an energetic generic marketer who can build from scratch!
ING Direct Savings Bank - 2008
Karen was employed here for five and a half years as a permanent employee and a freelance Marketing Consultant. Karen worked in the set up of the marketing department and when she left was the Head of Experiential Marketing & Sponsorship. She also worked on secondment as Head of Marketing Projects. Karen is a dedicated and professional individual, her commitment and enthusiasm will be missed by the business and the marketing team and we wish her success in her future career.
Gina Fusco - Head of Media Communications
Karen was employed in the Andersen Media Centre as Senior Media Account Manager to establish an internal account management team; to build a reputation for quality service, delivering campaigns with creative cut-through in the market - no small task. Karen's team was highly respected for their expertise and the added value they brought to communications plans, with over 200 projects successfully managed and delivered!

Karen is an enthusiastic and talented individual who not only understands the communication mix and how to use it to get results, but also has that rare quality of being able to quickly bring often non like-minded people together, to work as one team, to successfully meet objectives.
Kirsty Fitzpatrick - Media Account Manager - Andersen - 2002
I worked for Karen in the Media Account Team. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Karen and having her as my manager - she is the best people manager I have had the pleasure to work with during my career. I feel that both on a personal level and from the Media Account team perspective, we most certainly benefited from having her - she works fairly and in the best interests of her team; she recognises people's strengths and weaknesses and tries to get the best out of people; she has a great sense of humour and is fun to work with.
John Hackney - Managing Director - McCann Erickson Windsor - 2001
Karen worked at McCann-Erickson, Windsor on an extended freelance contract. Karen was employed as a Senior Account Director, running projects on a portfolio of our clients. She carried out this role superbly, demonstrating the necessary skills and business acumen, liaising with senior client contacts. She managed the specific account teams and agency resources, working at a strategic level on integrated communications programmes.
Stuart Hardy - Managing Director - HBA Advertising - 2000
Karen worked for HBA as a Senior Account Manager and then Account Director for 3 years from 1997 and always conducted herself in a thoroughly professional way. Karen worked hands on with our clients and helped instrumentally to develop the contacts. She worked principally on the Oce account and was extremely effective in her running of the account. She established a good working rapport with all of our clients and helped to build the business through her abilities to network and extend the working relationships.
