‘Jade is a multi-talented creative (across concepts, scripts, edits and producing) – but most importantly, a lovely person to work with. Being commissioned by Jade never feels like we’re working ‘for someone’… Her lack of ego means that projects become true collaborations – resulting in some of Young’s best work to date.’
Geth Vaughan, Director, Young Studios
‘Jade has had an immediate, proactive and lasting impact on the work of the Scouts Creative team.
She’s quickly become a trusted creative content provider, full of high quality ideas across the whole communications spectrum. What’s set her apart is her ability to move from concept to delivery of content in an efficient, effective and consistently strong way.
She’s also nurtured trust with staff and volunteers so quickly, with feedback from colleagues indicating she challenges briefs in a collaborative, trusted, deadline driven and solutions focused way.’
Kevin Yeates, Head of Brand and Content, NSPCC (formerly Head of Creative, Scouts)
‘We worked very closely with Jade on the new visual identity for Scouts’ latest section, Squirrels, throughout 2020 and 2021. From the first chemistry call to the handover of style guides and assets, Jade was engaged, intelligent and insightful. A complete natural at spotting a great idea, a killer copy line or a potential pitfall – she was always supportive and positive, but also pushed the creative to be the best it could be. The result is our most awarded and best-loved brand identity system. Great design work only happens in collaboration with great clients – Jade is one of the best I’ve worked with in over 20 years in the biz.’
Jamie Supple, Founder and Creative Director, Supple Studio
‘I always really enjoy working with Jade. She manages to establish a clear creative objective from the outset, while leaving room to collaborate and consideration for inevitable production developments. Plus, she’s really lovely.’
Jenny Garrett, Producer at Nowadays
‘I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Jade across a number of projects. She’ s a talented producer who brings creative freshness and a real sense of collaboration to each commission. Her attention to detail and understanding of storytelling make working with her a pleasure.’
Pippa Riddick, Filmmaker, UNICEF
‘Jade is fantastic at building relationships with front line staff and beneficiaries. She makes sure she really understands the issues in everything she produces, interviewing those involved and teasing out key messages to turn them into powerful content that will engage the target audience. Jade used this strong approach, joining her skills in communications, marketing and PR, to create a strategy that delivered a very successful high level of media coverage for School-Home Support.’
Jaine Stannard, Chief Executive, School-Home Support (SHS)
‘Jade and I worked together on the launch of the brand new Scouts Podcast. She did a fantastic job of pulling all the elements together to make what was a tight deadline. It was refreshing to work with such a patient and collaborative creative producer who clearly is very good at what she does.
Jade put together a great concept for the podcast which captured the essence of the message we wanted to communicate.
It’s clear she throws herself into every brief and invigorates every project she works on.’
Tom Evans, Founder and Content Director, Media Cage
‘I worked with Jade for a video commissioned by Scouts in the role of cinematographer and video editor. Jade is a talented producer and a caring human being, with strong organisational and communication skills, who’s attentive to other people’s needs. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future.’
Lidia Ravviso, Filmmaker, Video Editor and Producer
‘I have had the pleasure of working with Jade on various commissions from School-Home Support. Her organisation skills, clarity of communication, and friendly yet efficient methods have made my job most enjoyable. I can thoroughly recommend Jade as a first class Communications and Marketing Manager.’
