Kind Words

“Mel is the ultimate professional when it comes to promotion, marketing, and taking the stress out of your next event. As Chair of the Harrogate International Youth Music Festival, I’ve seen first-hand the significant impact Mel has made on the way we market our events locally — and her expertise delivers real results.
Her connections with local stakeholders and businesses are second to none, and her eye for detail is exceptional. Combine that with her friendly approach and genuine passion for supporting all kinds of businesses and groups, big or small, and you’ve got someone truly special. Mel is, without a doubt, the best in the area.”

Craig Ratcliffe

Chairman (Harrogate International Youth Music Festival)

Mel has that rare and precious ability to actually make a difference, to move the dial. The HDS have been lucky enough in recent years to secure her services in publicising and selling our shows. We are delighted with the results.

“We have, as with most theatrical groups these days, very finite resources to put behind promoting our productions, but Mel will get the most from a limited budget and deliver an impactful and efficient campaign that sells tickets. She will liaise with directors, producers, and our executive committee to understand the dynamics of each show and work in line with those particular needs – whether it be an intense week in The Studio with Florian Zeller’s ‘The Mother’ or working to build a main house audience for ‘Shakespeare in Love.’

Using a range of approaches and platforms, including vitally, high-energy social media that grabs the attention but has a friendly and inclusive vibe that we hope reflects who we are, Mel leads from the front and makes the marketing work.”

Chris Rawson

Chairman (The Harrogate Dramatic Society)

“Mel has been a massive help to us, providing some much-needed focus and coordination of our marketing and social media activity. She has worked well with our committee to ensure the campaigns she has delivered have been on time and in budget, and produced work that looks professional and reflects our brand really well.”

Tom Kyle

Chairman (BrassNeck Theatre)

I work with Mel on a regular basis, supplying photography for various theatrical productions, and I constantly see those images on social media! Mel always works hard to spread news of campaigns through every variety of platform, and her tweets and posts always engage with her audience. If there was a power cut, I wouldn’t be surprised to see her on a rooftop with a megaphone still promoting away!
