Thank goodness you’re here!

I’ll help you to be seen, heard and understood.

Hi, I’m Suzy Cooper.

I devise effective and unusual ways for organisations to plan, write, review and deliver their messages so the right people receive them.

I also work with individuals to amp up their personal style and presence, develop a distinctive writing voice or speak without stressing out.

about me

I’m Suzy Cooper, a former geologist, former alderman, writer, editor, stand-up comedian, artist and voracious learner.

I love speaking and writing to help ethical organisations and smart women and non-binary people to amp up their communications so they’re seen and heard.

My unusual combination of skills and interests and cut-to-the-chase style will make me your ultimate secret weapon when it comes to communicating clearly.
