Why The Olive Bureau

The olive stands for resilience and quiet strength, and the Bureau for the way I work: with structure and close personal involvement.

01 / The support you need

Why businesses work with me

You have an initiative to deliver, but your team may not have the time or senior capacity to lead it.

I work with your team and partners to clarify priorities, take ownership and move the work forward.

What you can expect

  1. One experienced senior point of contact from brief to delivery

  2. Additional capability without immediately adding permanent headcount

  3. Clear responsibilities across stakeholders, partners and workstreams

  4. Direct access and straightforward decisions

  5. Practical implementation alongside planning

02 / Areas of expertise

Services

Communication and campaigns

Communication that moves from strategy into market.

I lead communication and marketing initiatives from planning through delivery, bringing together messages, channels, partners and stakeholders.

Useful when your team has a campaign to deliver, several partners to coordinate or a strategy that needs experienced implementation.

What this covers for Communication and campaigns
  • Campaign strategy, planning and delivery
  • Brand initiatives, content direction and editorial planning
  • Strategic partnerships and collaborations, including research into potential partners
  • Newsletters and communication programmes
  • Coordination of agencies, freelancers and media partners
  • Stakeholder management and consistent implementation across channels

Events and activations

One experienced lead from concept to delivery.

I plan and coordinate corporate events, launches and brand activations, bringing together the concept, production, people and guest experience.

Useful when an event needs clear ownership or your team needs support with preparation, delivery on site and follow up.

What this covers for Events and activations
  • Event and activation concepts, planning and production
  • Research, evaluation and selection of venues, suppliers and partners
  • Budgets, timelines and supplier coordination
  • Partners, sponsors and strategic collaborations
  • The guest journey from invitation through the event
  • Coordination on site, follow up and debrief

Project management and coordination

Complex initiatives need clear ownership.

I structure and lead projects involving multiple teams and partners, from defining the scope to implementation. I keep responsibilities, timelines, budgets and dependencies visible.

Useful when a project has stalled, ownership is unclear or management needs visibility without chasing every workstream.

What this covers for Project management and coordination
  • Project scope, plans, milestones and timelines
  • Responsibilities and coordination across teams, suppliers and partners
  • Budget oversight, risks and dependencies
  • Implementation, quality control and status reporting
  • Preparation of decisions and facilitation of workshops
  • Interim leadership of a project, team or function during a vacancy, transformation or demanding phase

Process and workflow optimisation

Make everyday work easier to run.

I help teams identify where workflows, handovers or unclear responsibilities create friction, then introduce practical structures that make the work easier to manage.

Useful when routine coordination takes too much time, information gets lost or the business has outgrown its working processes.

What this covers for Process and workflow optimisation
  • Review of workflows, roles and responsibilities
  • Handover and approval processes
  • Coordination between teams and external partners
  • Practical structures for tools and workspaces
  • Documentation and working standards
  • Support with implementation

03 / From idea to delivery

How I work

  1. Understand

    I get to know your business, people and ways of working before defining what needs to happen.

  2. Analyse and prioritise

    Together, we identify what is blocking progress and agree priorities, responsibilities and next steps. Where helpful, I facilitate a working session to make those decisions.

  3. Deliver

    I take responsibility for agreed deliverables and coordinate the people and work needed to move the initiative forward.

  4. Reflect and improve

    Regular reviews and debriefs help us capture what we have learned and improve how future work is delivered.

You spend less time coordinating, so there is more room to focus on your business.

04 / Working together

Ways of working

Every engagement starts with your situation and the support you need. We agree the scope, responsibilities and way of working together.
