Bio
Dan Geoffrey
I worked with Deborah on a major project for one of our clients which involved incorporating a new tone of voice to a major part of their marketing collateral. Deborah excelled in the role, working with the client to understand the complex briefs and delivering high quality work at every stage. The project was large and particularly challenging logistically. Deborah showed great organisational skills in managing multiple workflows always maintaining a positive attitude in a high pressure environment. I very much enjoyed working with Deborah and wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to others.

Deborah is an extremely talented writer and editor. She has an immense depth of knowledge, particularly in the B2B and retail areas. She is a dedicated professional, with a varied journalistic background which has given her a level of experience that is extremely useful to any new project. Debs is a witty and intelligent asset to the team, and her warmth and willingness to share her knowledge make her a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her highly.

The magazine promotes the charity’s services to Jewish people and their families/friends across the UK. It is the key channel for communicating Chai's holistic approach to supportive cancer care, picking up and complementing where the NHS leaves off, providing individual and group support and holding families together in their time of greatest need. Since becoming editor, the magazine has raised awareness, and broken taboos, encouraging thousands to turn to us, as well as to donate. I'm hugely proud to have seen the magazine (and online version) through a transformation in tone and design to make it a valuable client engagement and marketing tool, which reaches 60,000 readers. https://chaicancercare.org/news-and-media/magazines/
