COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING STRATEGY
I’m a creative strategist and communications expert, sometimes known as a “PR lady” and always relied upon as a connector of dots and people. A natural Ideas Person and career Strategic Planner, marketing is really a by-product of the work I do.
I founded Common Point while living in France in 2012 to bring unique skills and knowledge of international business, integrated communications, journalism, creative writing, brand design, and relationship marketing (I’m told ‘diplomacy’) to help businesses create stand-out strategies in a world that is getting smaller every day.

Stand Out Strategies Need a Global Point of View
Helping business leaders develop concepts, values and campaigns that bring to life the magic that makes them different is what I set out to do with Common Point.
The first half of my career was spent in the UK and Europe, where I’ve worked closely with high-profile brands, agencies and businesses as well as thought leaders, tastemakers, movers and shakers that help share stand out strategies.
I pull out the stops for my clients and am proud to be able to call upon the support of an outstanding network of partners and experts that love to make things happen with me.
A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
Marketing is like asking someone on a date.
Branding is the reason they say yes.
PR is when people talk about the new couple.
Customer Experience is the reason…
they keep coming back for more.
