I step in as flexible, high-level support to drive growth. Available for short or long-term engagements as a Fractional COO, Studio/Managing Director, or hands-on Project Lead, focusing on the following areas:
Comprehensive assessment of your studio operations, workflow inefficiencies, and resource allocation - with specific recommendations to boost profitability and delivery quality.
Interim or project-based leadership to restructure teams, implement best-practice processes, and build high-performing creative departments that deliver consistently.
Strategic oversight from concept to delivery - ensuring your content production aligns with commercial objectives while maintaining creative excellence.
Proactive communication, genuine collaboration, and a commitment to building real partnerships that make a difference for your clients.
Expert support during periods of transition, growth, or challenge - bringing 20+ years of leadership experience to stabilize operations and drive commercial success.
I don't work for you. I work with you. My approach is built on genuine collaboration, where we solve challenges together as true partners rather than consultant and client.
I listen more than I talk. By truly understanding your challenges and context, I build solutions that fit your world, not solutions that force you to change.
Strong relationships are how work gets done. I take time to know the people in your organization, understand how they work together, and respect the dynamics you've built.
Here's what former colleagues and clients have said about working together.
"It's a pleasure to work with Natalie - a genuine team player with a great manner, always ready to roll up her sleeves and confident in front of clients."
"Natalie transformed our studio performance with strategic leadership. She helped us to double business turnover to achieve our most profitable year."
"Natalie combines creative understanding with operational rigor. Her efficiency improvements and positive team culture were immediate."
"Natalie was instrumental in helping us to identify and commercialise new service areas such as content strategy, reshaping our internal teams in the process."
With over 20 years leading content and video production teams across major agencies and media companies in the UK and Australia, I've lived the challenges you're facing.
I've managed £6M+ divisions, led cross-functional teams of 20+ creatives and producers, and consistently delivered double-digit growth while improving operational efficiency. Now I bring that expertise directly to agencies and brands navigating complexity, growth, or transformation.
My approach blends strategic thinking with hands-on operational knowledge - because I believe the best consultants don't just advise, they roll up their sleeves and deliver results alongside you.
