Communications
The most engaging communications for your audience need strategy and creativity. I can use any channel and any tool to cut through the noise and get you heard.

I'm a networker and have built fantastic local, national and trade media contacts across print, online and broadcast... let's shout about your product and service.

My Work
Are you thinking of launching a new product or service? Struggling to be seen or heard? Scared of social media? Got dreams of building an event or brand, or want to grow your business? I can help you deliver an event for 3 or 30,000 people. I have solid experience in raising the profile of businesses in a variety of sectors. Whether you have a modest budget or big bucks, we can do something great together. Here are some examples of the kind of work I do...
About Me
Hello, I'm Charlotte Jackson - also known as 'Binkle' to friends and family...
I started out in PR in the art & design sector, working for a highly regarded boutique agency in London, which looked after media activities for exhibitions such as New Designers, The Ideal Home Show and represented various creatives.
I then spent nearly ten years with The Grass Roots Group Plc, working across their various UK and global Marketing teams, running show-stopping events and senior stakeholder conferences, and became their Global Head of Communications, responsible for all outbound messaging, crisis communications and internal engagement.
When I decided to set up my own business after maternity leave in 2016, I was lucky enough to have a network already requesting freelance work, and since then I’ve enjoyed helping a variety of clients in diverse industries.
I’m based in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. Most of my client work takes place in Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and London, but I’m very happy to travel further.
WHY SHOULD YOU USE ME?
- I’m a good option if you need a mixture of Marketing and Events services – not many people are experienced in the whole lot.
- You can grow your team without the overheads of an employee. I only charge for the work I do – and I don’t clock-watch.
- I’m a quick learner. I will get to know you and your business and will work with your team, or independently, without any dramas.
- I’m not proud. I will happily roll up my sleeves and do whatever is needed to get the job done.
- It will be fun. I promise. All my clients become friends and I am very pleased about this!
Charlotte was instrumental in every aspect of the 'Tring People' book... It's no exaggeration to say that the book wouldn't have happened without her help, support and encouragement. She is always one step ahead of the game, thinking around the corners and an absolute pleasure to work with.

She’s hugely experienced, a safe pair of hands, can handle everything from the idea stage right through to final review and she’s also fun to work with! Charlotte thinks outwardly about her audience and her client at all times. I highly recommend her professional event consultancy services; delivery of all aspects is exemplary.

10 years have flown by and in that time Charlotte has been there, picking up my mad requests - whether for a concert for 6,000, an event for a few hundred, or making sense of my utterances for practical use in social media - at all times with an interesting blend of creativity and common sense. A little touch of Binkle’s pixie dust is something I think I will always need!
David Evans MBE
Future Proof Enterprises
With an amazing eye for detail, she's got an ability to adapt and translate my visions into realities - whether an event or a strategic communications programme is needed. A forward-thinking entrepreneur, always focused on the overall business goal. Charlotte is more than a freelancer to us; she's a trusted partner and friend!
