Testimonials
“Liam did a superb write up for us here at Microsoft on some Social Return on Investment work we commissioned.
“He helped tell the story in an easy to digest and captivating way.
“Thank you for helping us tell this very important story to our stakeholders, Liam.”
“Liam provided support for TfA across an important and busy period for us; launching a ground-breaking research report. His invaluable skills in copywriting (with a keen ear for progressive language as it pertains to social identity and disability rights), social media design and content really raised the bar for the standard of our work and Liam led on the press and PR for the report, to great effect.
“We fully intend to keep working with Liam as and when we have an opportunity to do so and highly recommend him to future employers.”
“When we were looking for speakers for our ‘100% Human’ Symposium in the autumn of 2019, we wanted someone who offered a truly authentic and diverse view on the world but from a millennial perspective. Liam was without doubt, the perfect fit.
“Despite being last to join the day of conversations and discussions, his passion, humour and honesty shone through. He totally captured the mood of the day by being so open and approachable. We will definitely be looking to work with Liam again and we cannot recommend him highly enough.”
