Nice things people have said about working with me...
“Rhian provided cover for me while I was recruiting new team members. It was a particularly busy and high-pressured time at peak summer season, Rhian seamlessly became part of the team, taking ownership and leadership over key areas of the function. Very quickly Rhian was collaborating with team members, learning our systems and improving them, reporting on campaigns to senior leadership and managing agencies on our behalf.
I completely trusted Rhian and her expertise, knowledge and calm approach helped us through a tricky few months.”

Beth Meade, Director of Marketing and Experience, SS Great Britain Trust
“We contracted Rhian to project manage the delivery of a new brand identity and website development for Paraorchestra. We required a project manager who could approach this evolution with insight, sensitivity, and integrity. Someone who could communicate with and support colleagues at all levels. And who would ensure that the project consistently met milestones and key objectives. Rhian 100% hit the brief.
​
Rhian was excellent at ascertaining project objectives from the off, ensuring that we didn’t go off-piste. She has excellent attention to detail and is meticulously organised - she kept clear notes and an easy-to-use project plan, providing regular status reports to members of various levels across the organisation.
​
I found Rhian’s steady and objective hand was essential during some knotty moments in the project, during which she was able to sensitively guide me and all members of the organisation to ensure we arrived at a place where we were all happy with the outcome. As a result, we have a brand identity and website that we are all incredibly proud of.​
When recruiting a project manager, I was looking for someone who might act as an extension of my skill set, supporting me through two large core projects. But Rhian surpassed all expectations. She was very well-liked and respected throughout the Paraorchestra team, and I would highly recommend her for project management, brand, web, and freelance marketing support.”
Laura Evans, Head of Communications, Paraorchestra​
“We were looking for an audience development specialist to help Storiel research and define our current and potential audiences and improve our connections with them. This work supported our participation in the National Contemporary Art Gallery network for Wales and provided insights to inform a new Marketing and Communications strategy.
​
Rhian and Tabitha [my partner on the project] tailored their approach to accommodate varying levels of audience development skills and knowledge within our small team. They were excellent partners - empathetic and human - seeking to get under the skin of our challenges and truly understand us as an organisation.
​
Their final recommendations report was refreshingly clear and compelling. Our team appreciated the thorough research presented in such an accessible way. Everything was easy to understand, and the report communicated its points so effectively that we actually enjoyed reading it, which is rare!
​
We would recommend Tabitha and Rhian to any organisation wanting to deepen their understanding of their audiences and build more meaningful connections with their communities.”
Nêst Thomas, Museums and Arts Manager, Storiel / Gwynedd Council​
“Rhian delivered a fantastic marketing campaign for our summer performances in 2023. Working with a limited budget, and a very limited timeframe, Rhian delivered an innovative campaign that helped us increase our box office income from the previous year. Rhian was an absolute pleasure to work with and we really couldn't have done it without her. Would highly recommend!”
David Hopkins, National Youth Arts Wales
“Rhian brings a meticulous, detail-focused approach to any project whilst always retaining sight of overarching strategy and objectives. Her collaborative approach, clear communication and dedication to placing audiences front and centre proved invaluable when working together.”
Jack Prideaux, Senior Producer, Roundhouse
“Rhian is an intelligent and insightful marketer with great attention to detail, packs of creativity, and great project management skills. Her ability to interpret and deliver any brief was one of her many strengths. I really loved working with Rhian and would truly recommend her to anyone.”
Helen Faulkner, Director of Audiences at Factory International (formerly Southbank Centre)
“Rhian is a smart, creative, and thoughtful arts marketing professional. We were so lucky to be able to bring her on board as a consultant during the launch of ‘OAE Player’. In fact, we found her expertise and considered approach to be so valuable to our overall communications plan, that we extended her contract. It was a real pleasure working with Rhian and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
Elle Docx, formerly Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
