I am a content specialist, workshop facilitator, moderator and coach. I spent two decades as a journalist specialising in global marketing, media and creativity, working at Campaign, Contagious, M&M Global and WARC. I also worked at Cannes Lions for four years. There, as Head of Intelligence Content, I learned what makes winning awards entries stand out, and what jurors are looking for.
I can deliver features and reports, thought leadership pieces and awards submissions that will cut through. I have moderated several stage sessions at the Cannes Lions Festival, AdWeek and other events, and have also scripted and presented videos and podcasts.
In 2025, I qualified as a coach on the AC- and ICF-accredited Certificate in Coaching with The Coach House. To book a chemistry call, please email me. I’m particularly interested in coaching people returning to work after a career break.
Looking forward to working with you.

I highly recommend Lucy for her unparalleled media and advertising awards knowledge and engaging presentation style. Lucy delivered a highly impactful awards workshop at our MENA headquarters. Her expertise provided our team with actionable strategies to enhance our teams' award submissions. The session covered the significance of awards, effective writing techniques, and how to craft a compelling story. Lucy's valuable expertise and insights offered a structured approach to award submission management and a deep understanding of judges' criteria.

Content
Lucy is an excellent writer, editor and moderator. We collaborated on a range of thought leadership content during her time at WARC and Lions. Working with Lucy is always enriching. Her perspective is always well informed, thoroughly researched, and illuminating. I love how Lucy is always committed to expanding a conversation not just with diversity of input but also bringing a forward looking point of view that is uniquely her own.

Workshop facilitation
Lucy was instrumental in supporting our team to come together at a key juncture in our evolution and think together about our ways of working and shared values. As a trained coach, Lucy offers an approach to team training and facilitation that offers gentle challenge and reflection. She quickly cultivated a psychologically safe space, and introduced us to frameworks that supported us to build our self-awareness as a team. I’d highly recommend Lucy for anyone looking for group coaching or training sessions that are a cut above. Thank you Lucy!
