I work for the British Forces Broadcasting Service where I run their media training arm, their creative agency, and their social media team. I’m a juror for the Royal Television Society and a published author on digital content. Before BFBS I worked for Bloomberg Television.

More importantly I have made every mistake you can think of. I also remember being intimidated by the creative industries and desperately wished someone would give me a plan to follow! If you want to do creative work but struggle with doubt, imposter syndrome, or knowing how to get started, let’s speak.

Claire is currently Executive Director of EVCOM and has worked for much of her career in and around events of different kinds. She has headed up departments running conferences, awards, training programmes and launches but as with everyone, you have to start somewhere. From my first B2B conference for a room full of financial experts (terrifying) to awards ceremonies for 1,200 people (also terrifying) I have now reached the stage where I’m pretty sure there is a solution for every event problem!  I didn’t start off in this field so if you want to discuss being confused about choices, where to start, fear of making the wrong decision, what skills/personal attributes you might need, I might be able to help or at least give you a steer in the right direction.

With a 25-year career in production, Jules initially worked in broadcasting, finding her niche as a shooting P/D on the long-running BBC1 daytime series City Hospital. From there she transitioned to producing and directing films for the NHS and various government departments, sparking a passion for delivering impactful messages to the right audience. She took this understanding to the national charity RNIB where she headed up film production for over 5 years before moving into leadership roles with creative agencies. Now working independently, she specialises in crafting strong content for clients, including agencies and brands, with a focus on responsible business issues. As a BACP registered integrative counsellor and coach (with an interest in neurodiversity) she also brings a unique perspective to workplace dynamics.
