Bio
Danielle Thomson
Claire joined Communicator for a short freelance stint on one of our busiest accounts, in a time of great change at the agency. During her time she quickly got up to speed with the account and processes and in that time improved the process - leaving the account more organised and efficient - all whilst making the clients and internal stakeholders feel at ease.

I’ve had the pleasure of line managing Claire the past 2.5 years. In her role as Account Manager, she managed a large and varied portfolio of accounts including several key Fortune 500 & FTSE 100 clients. Claire excelled in this dynamic role, that came with a serious amount of pressure and workload. She forged strong relationships with her client contacts who adored her for her ‘can do’ approach, efficiency and resourcefulness. Our client surveys were always buzzing with praise for Claire and this sentiment was also shared internally amongst her peers and colleagues who loved having her as a team member, mentor and instigator of fun around the office. I could fully rely on Claire to take initiative, think strategically and commercially and to apply common sense during challenging situations. It was an absolute dream to have such a star team member in my team, who was continuously inquisitive, engaged and wanting to learn new skills. She made great efforts to share and exchange knowledge with others. Claire’s presentation skills are second to none - she is able to deliver a clear message through evocative storytelling. Her creative talents were put to good use during her time with us and we were most grateful to her for her volunteering to run our company’s Instagram account. Claire is a natural leader, clear and confident communicator with the ability to coordinate teams and collaborate with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, industries and levels of seniority. She brings passion and dedication to everything she does and is incredibly flexible. A prime example that comes to mind was our support of the Mayor of London’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks event. Claire coordinated this high profile project that included leading a workshop for the Mayor of London team ahead of the event attended by key event stakeholders such as the ambulance, police, anti-terror services. On the evening itself, Claire was present and on site for 10 straight hours, acting as coordinator and liaison between teams – ensuring smooth execution. I can highly recommend Claire as an incredibly valuable asset to any team.
