Simon Rutter

I’m a senior communications consultant helping clients with every aspect of communications strategy and tactics, from leadership coaching to copywriting case studies.

I’ve worked with all sizes of businesses across a range of industries, including Tech, Pharma, FMCG, Mining, FS, Legal, Engineering, and Consulting.

I went freelance three years ago for two main reasons. One, I burnt out in my last two in-house roles. Second, I wanted more flexibility and freedom to be location-independent, especially as half of my family live in Bulgaria.

I recently wrote all the case studies for an FMCG client’s first integrated ESG Report. There was a new Chief Sustainability Officer and strategy to evidence across every one of its elements. I’m passionate about sustainability, so communicating this in a strategic, integrated, evidence-based way was a meaty and enjoyable challenge.

I’ve just supported a global consulting group on their brand positioning, product marketing, and content creation. The group has grown quickly via acquisition, so unified GTM messaging was critical. I’m most closely associated with the culture and coaching consulting parts of the group, and as a communicator and coach myself these areas fascinate me. Identifying, codifying, and communicating the group’s point of difference has been intense and rewarding.

In the future I’d like to do more work in the ESG space, and I also want to get involved in new sectors – nuclear, defence, aerospace, even the police. These are all fascinating to me and I think they all have a need for better communications!
