“Working with Jo has been a breath of fresh air. She authentically and meticulously explored our organisation’s dreams, mission and values with all our staff and critical stakeholders and has brought this together in a clarifying and galvanising rebrand. We couldn’t be more chuffed. You’re a wizard. ”

“Jo makes everyone feel good.
She’s got a natural way with words and an affable charm that puts everyone at immediate ease. Using that to her advantage, she’s able to ask those difficult but necessary questions, to really get under the skin of any organisation. Be it in a stakeholder interview, a team workshop, a strategic presentation or within a brand voice, she blends insight, creativity and verbal expression to create lively and effective work. Always a pleasure.”
Chris TozerCreative Director, Fiasco Design
“Jo is one of those people every marketeer should have in their little black book of amazing associates.
We needed a major rebrand for our company following a landmark investment. Jo led our senior team and developed a bold and brave new brand strategy for our business: moving quickly but purposefully with us to full relaunch in less than 6 months.
Jo came up with ‘Ogi’ as our new name – and the core idea at the centre of our rebrand. It felt at once radical and also completely ‘right’ for a Welsh tech company that wants to change the game. She also helped us to bring our brand off the page with a distinctive tone-of-voice: giving us a multi-dimensional, characterful brand, that is so much more than a logo.
Jo’s vision and direction has given our company – and Wales - a stand-out brand to own. A brand that we hope everyone will grow to love as much as we do.

“You don't find many experts like Jo. Words and brands matter to her. Clients matter to her. She instinctively knew what we wanted and what would work for us – even when negotiating through our apparently conflicting points of view. Jo was extremely adaptable, understanding, and passionate on our behalf, and worked tirelessly to ensure that Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales had the brand voice that it envisaged. Diolch am bopeth.”
