Bio
Ian Haughton
Louisa is a fantastic client director. Her strong work ethic and attention to detail are unrivalled in anyone I've ever worked with. She has a natural ability to deal with clients and projects of all sizes, even a Pan-African above the line campaign for TV, Radio, Outdoor, Print and Digital. She takes it all in her stride, never getting flustered. But on top of that she is a lovely person, a pleasure to work with and I couldn't recommend her enough.
Rob Howsam
I couldn't recommend Louisa highly enough. She's bright and quick to get it. Fantastically thorough, totally reliable and very efficient. Empathetic and understanding of clients needs and dedicated to doing right by them, Louisa builds trust and good client relationships. Louisa is down to earth, level headed and has endless patience. She manages to balance this effortlessly with a focused ambition and determination. She's strong, straight talking and won't be pushed around. Much liked by all. Louisa is a wonderful lady, a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.
