“Hiring Laura is one of the greatest accomplishment of my career.
In short ( and that she is) she is brilliant.
She is diligent, truly talented and a positive force to behold. She has a deep understanding of how to connect with an audience and the wit to be able to execute the content effectively.
She leads from the front but is never afraid to get her hands dirty to build consensus, and is a worthy addition to any team.
She will jump in feet first, lose a shoe, and deliver something unexpected but always amazing."

"I first worked with Laura on the social team at ITV when she was my unofficial manager on a small social team that she had created, so it was no surprise when I re-joined a year or so later and she was my official manager. Working for Laura was a great experience and one of my personal highlights of my career so far.
Laura had a knack of spotting her team's strengths and allocating projects that allowed them to shine. She knew when to get more involved and support those projects and she also knew when to take a step back and let the creatives do their thing. She created a welcoming, fun and highly creative environment in the office.
One thing I remember about working with Laura is how many awards we won! Laura knows how to get her team's work noticed and recognised and is a huge asset for any company looking to make waves in social media. She's passionate and knows what she's talking about. When she left the company, I had to leave too because I genuinely missed her leadership. I would love to work with her again and if you have the chance, you should too."
Dave Corkery
Head of Content
"I worked under Laura for two years at ITV, and she’s honestly the best boss I ever had. She’s supportive, team-focused and she leads with a distinct vision. Her creativity and energy is boundless and she brings the same level of enthusiasm to any project – big or small.
During her time at ITV, she’s grown the team from just herself and her brother to a dozen-strong award-winning team that was recently named Best In-House Social Agency at the UK Social Media Communications Awards.
Not to mention the Shorty Awards, Promax awards, the list continues.
She knows social media, she knows TV, she knows how to take a killer selfie. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Laura again, and if I were you reading this, I’d hire her."

"Working with Laura was an absolute pleasure. She has an incredibly talented and insightful creative mind. Whilst working together at Cheil she completely revitalised social across all our clients, and created a range of new ways of working that suited the fast paced realities of social media. I learnt so much from Laura, and hope to work with her again."
Joss Patterson
Head of Marketing
"Laura is a real asset to any organisation she is part of. She has unrivalled energy, passion and enthusiasm and an ability to consistently come up with bold, exciting and brave social ideas. She's a fantastic leader and her hard work and commitment at ITV led to many successful campaigns and improved ways of working within the social team.
Laura also brings a contagious sense of fun to any project, which energises those around her and keeps everyone going. It was a joy to work with Laura at ITV, particularly on projects such as Love Island, Family Guy and the ITV2 rebrand - all of which won awards for innovation in social media. I truly hope our paths cross again - I would be delighted to work with her again in the future."
Russell Schaller
Exec Creative Director
“Super bright, super talented and so much fun! Laura joined as our Head of Social in 2019 led the team to huge success. In just two years our social media output tripled for our existing clients and her infectious drive helped us secure new business wins in HBO & Warner Bros and Asda. Her passion for all things social ensures she stays at the cutting edge of every platform and often is invited to speak on specialist panels. I love working with Laura, her knowledge and appetite for engaging social content knows no bounds.”
Sandra Perriot
Head of Brand Strategy
“'Positive energy' is what comes to my mind when I think about Laura. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Laura on several project for Samsung at Cheil, and she never missed to impress me. In addition to be a really fun and cool person, her excellent strategic and creative flair make Laura the finest teammate. She has an outstanding ability to deliver work of the highest of standards in very fast paced and challenging environments. If you are considering getting in touch with Laura for a job opportunity, think no more.”
Cecelia Odong
Design Lead
“I worked with Laura over the course of multiple accounts. Our main client was NIVEA and her ability to create, word, direct and lead was outstanding. Her creative mind allowed ideas to flourish through the creative department allowing work to be pushed beyond their usual means. Her understanding of the social media market was second to none and you don’t meet someone with such a brain like that every day life. Her attitude to work was always over and beyond and she made me, a better designer. In such a male dominated world she always held her own in even tricky situations. I admire her and I’d hope to work with her again in future as she is one to watch.”
Matt Wallace

She motivates others to be their best and gained the ITV Creative Social team countless industry awards under her leadership. It's a pleasure to work with laura and other will feel immediately at ease with her in their team.
