“Funds and help can both in short supply for our sector, especially when there is an unconscious bias associated with our clientele. To this extent, it really is true that good help is hard to find. Rebecca is sympathetic to our needs, respectful of budget, and creative with her solutions. Her diligence, forward thinking and care have lent themselves well to our marketing, comms, fundraising and business planning. Rebecca is reassuringly knowledgeable in all areas and has become a valued adviser on multiple aspects of our business.”
Richard Spence, CEO, The Carpenter’s Arms
“As a very specialist charity, we knew we needed an approach to marketing and communications activity that would be tailor-made, and delivered by someone who really understood what we were trying to achieve and who we were trying to reach. Rebecca quickly got under the skin of our charity, and produced a brand recommendations report and marketing strategy that gave us clear and actionable activities. Having a structured approach to our marketing and communications means focusing on, and investing in, those activities where we are likely to see the best return. I would highly recommend Rebecca to other charities who don’t have the budget for a full-time marketer but who need someone with fresh ideas and perspective, and who can turn ambitions into action.”
Rachel Wolffsohn, General Manager, The OHMI Trust
“We were looking for an agency to support us in reaching new employers and we were referred to Yellow Bird by East Midlands Chamber. Rebecca’s skills, expertise and insight have been exactly what we needed. She worked with the management and sales teams to develop a Comms and PR Strategy and supported us through the implementation every step of the way. Rebecca has become an extension of our team, integrating brilliantly within the organisation and her thorough ‘completer-finisher’ approach means that she looks after the whole process from beginning to end including liaising with staff, customers and media on our behalf.”
Corrina Hembury, Managing Director, Access Training Ltd
“Rebecca has written more than 50 features for the magazine Reflections, a monthly which covers north and mid-Derbyshire, over the last 20 years; which really says it all. I have edited this magazine for the last 15 years and Rebecca’s features are always well written, well illustrated and always meet the deadline I have given – what more can an editor ask! Moreover, she has some great ideas for features; and has recently written features about a local archaeological company, and about local firms who have received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service. I have always been happy with her research and her writing style, which makes it easy to follow for the layman (which is the secret of good news and feature writing, of course).”
Barrie Farnsworth, Editor, Reflections
“SENDS is a community interest company based in the East Midlands and designed to help parents of children with additional learning needs. Rebecca has supported us with a number of communication projects such as writing articles and acting as a critical friend on a large funding application, and has really taken the time to get to know our business. Her input has helped us to ensure that we always write with our audience in mind and with a clear focus on the particular call to action we want that audience to undertake.”
Eloise Barnett, Director, SENDS CIC
“Rebecca provided outstanding copywriting service for my new website. With a great depth of professional experience within business and marketing and a keen grasp of the English language and communication, I was delighted with the quality and accuracy of her work. When hiring copywriters there is always some trepidation and concern about whether your voice will come across through someone else’s writing. Rebecca takes the time to talk to you and understand that voice and what you are trying to achieve and delivers something back that is far superior to anything I could have done.”
Daniel Driscoe, Executive Coach, Iuvo Coaching
“Rebecca and I have collaborated on projects where I have led on website design and development and Rebecca on content. It’s often the case when I’m building a website that the client does not have the skills or time themselves to produce the content and that can lead to delays in project sign-off. Rebecca can reliably fill this gap and is always available to field any urgent questions. She always delivers on time and that’s a great reassurance when I’m working to tight deadlines.”
Ben Fletcher-Bates, Owner, Nettl of Chesterfield
“When writing about my company, Rebecca was able to completely get inside my head and sift out the gems of information about me and my ceramics journey so well. She has a lovely way of putting me at ease so I could talk freely, and fully understand my message. Then, using her skills she has truly conveyed my jumbled thoughts into a bio that gets across what how passionate I am about pottery. Having a professional like Rebecca to write web content is something I’ve never considered before, but it’s certainly something I’d recommend.”
Lynne Taylor, Owner , Organic Ceramics
