Fantastically mediated workshop. Intently listening but also providing some really valuable insights from a different perspective to us which was really helpful. It felt like a very supportive environment where we could all speak and share freely.

I was struck by Olly’s ability to deeply understand the needs of gifted young adults and translate that into a compelling, future-oriented message. His expertise and attention to detail ensured alignment with the mission and values of our initiative.

Since the workshop, I do feel a clearer, more consistent desire across management and trustees to be more provocative in our comms

Taking part in the workshop were multiple individuals at various levels of seniority and responsibility, and what I noticed firsthand was how at ease he made everyone feel and how involved he got each person. His confident but calm approach ensured that the participants felt that they could have their say in a safe space, all whilst being expertly guided through the multiple tasks.
I would highly recommend Olly and I believe his approach would work in any discovery session – not just brand and marcomms. If you are looking for someone to tease out key information, guide you through the process and create bonds amongst your participants, he is your man. A true professional and a good guy.

Olly’s workshops are great. Firstly because you get the outcome you’re looking for - brand purpose, tone of voice, creative writing, whatever it is - and secondly, because they’re a lot of fun. As well as having renewed clarity and direction, your team is energised and inspired. It’s a bonding experience and that’s really valuable.

Since the workshop, I do feel a clearer, more consistent desire across management and trustees to be more provocative in our comms. I use the brand voice tone we agreed across our leaflets and presentations now as well. It’s a much more powerful message.
Cherisse Dealtry, Chief Executive, York Road Project
Before working with Olly we had no clear voice. It was buried beneath a heap of dry academic language with no personality. Once we had established our new visual identity we needed a single voice to speak to our visitors in a way that was friendly and encouraging without sounding too informal.
I found the whole process enlightening and informative. Some of Olly’s techniques for cutting through the noise to get to the real voice have been invaluable for the whole team. I’d gladly recommend Olly because he came with an open and creative approach that encouraged everyone to get involved and get out of their comfort zones.
