Find out about my work

From charities big and small to consultancies and creative businesses, here are stories of organisations I’ve helped to find their unique voice.

  • WithYou

    National drug, alcohol and mental health charity WithYou has found its voice and is making an impact for those experiencing challenges in their lives. The role I played on their journey was stakeholder research and insight to help shape their brand thinking, then content leadership to deliver their ground-breaking new website.

  • Community Organisers

    Community Organisers inspires thousands of people to come together and take action on the things they care about. CEO Nick Gardham hired me for community listening and insight to shape decisions on naming, brand message and website, driving this powerful movement forward in the UK.

  • The Co-Foundry

    Brand strategist, Sue Bush hired me as a listening partner and content coach to help her take big decisions on how the business moved forward. Together we worked on her message, website and content marketing strategy, giving her the confidence to share her ideas and connect with potential clients.

  • The Get Real Project

    I’ve worked together with Andrea Howe, founder of US based learning organisation, The Get Real Project, for over a decade. Our journey highlights the power of a long supportive partnership to motivate consistent content excellence and business success.

  • "The 1:1s with individuals to understand the organisation from their perspective was so important – it allowed the brand, messaging and website to be built on the back of it. I am convinced that is why our brand is so strong in the eyes of our network."

    Nick Gardham, CEO, Community Organisers

  • "More than ever, organisations big or small need re-assurance, insights and direction to help navigate through the markets they operate and reach their audiences. Sonja has a unique ability to articulate and provide clarity as to the right direction an organisation needs to go."

  • "Sonja helps you work out what you want to say. She's a real ally in a difficult world."

    Jane Northcote, author of making change happen

  • "Sonja engaged brilliantly with stakeholders and clients to develop powerful insights into the company. She helped us to understand ourselves better."

    Giles Colborne, founder, cxpartners

  • "Sonja gets people communicating and marketing what they do – consistently and effectively – in a way they enjoy. Alongside a growing stack of truly valuable content, she leaves people with clarity and confidence in their ideas, and renewed pride and excitement for what they do."

    Chris Thurling, chair of Bristol Creative Industries

  • "I hired Sonja to advise me on the development of the new proposition and website for The Get Real Project—one of the best decisions I've ever made."

    Andrea P. Howe, founder, The Get Real Project

  • "I wanted to shift my business model. Sonja’s independent perspective was invaluable in helping me clarify my strengths and the value I provide to clients. Through insightful client interviews, she offered a fresh perspective on my work and helped shape the next steps for my business. Now, I’m aligned with the right clients, delivering work that adds real value. Sonja’s calm, curious approach sparks deep reflection—not just in the moment, but long after. You’ll learn a lot about yourself."

  • Quartet Community Foundation

    Working alongside brand strategist, Sue Bush, Quartet hired me for stakeholder research and insight to help shape their brand thinking, then for content strategy and writing workshops to help them deliver their new website.

  • Sustrans

    At a pivotal point in their history, Sustrans' leadership team revised their strategy. They hired me to conduct 40 stakeholder feedback interviews, using the insight to help them get to the heart of what they do best, shaping and positioning them for the future.
