I’m Emily Monsell-Holden
With two decades’ experience in brand, marketing & PR, I know how to help organisations grow stronger and more sustainable, building brand equity every step of the way.
I believe in simplicity and action, and will give you the tools you need to thrive.
Unlike many consultants, my in-house background means that I know what it’s like to be in your shoes. I get to grips with your challenges more quickly and help you find solutions that actually bring about real change.
In addition to heading up brand, marketing and PR at the iconic, family-run wine and spirits merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd, I’ve worked with many fascinating brands, including Fairtrade pioneers Cafédirect, Virgin Atlantic Airways, Somerset House, Waitrose, The Royal Albert Hall, Foodism, The FT and AMEX.
I care about the role business plays in protecting our future, and am certified by the Carbon Literacy Trust. I am also a judge on various industry panels and host the Year-on-Year podcast, dedicated to long-term thinking in business.
My Values
If we work together, I’ll spend a lot of time understanding the beliefs, characteristics and behaviours that make your organisation special. These are mine. They guide the way I operate and will give you an insight into what it’s like to work with me.
-
I listen and ask questions, always engaging fully with the people I meet and the challenges I work on.
-
I am considered and respectful but always remain open-minded to new ways of approaching situations.
-
I am open and honest and believe strongly in authenticity; being yourself and always doing the right thing.
-
Less is more. Cutting through complexity to create real, straight-forward solutions that everyone can engage with.
-
I believe that work should be pleasurable and engaging, and I hope you will enjoy doing business with me.
