Amy Douthett
Communications
I have 20+ years’ experience delivering communications projects of all shapes and sizes for non-profit, commercial and arts organisations.
What I do
From strategic reviews to annual reviews, I can help your organisation to communicate clearly and simply.
Communications strategy
Everybody needs a plan. The best communications start with a clear, coherent strategy — and come back to it, again and again.
Copywriting
I’m an experienced copywriter producing straightforward, compelling copy for websites, animations, apps and more.
Branding
I’ve managed full rebrands as well as light-touch updates on existing brands. The key? Knowing what you want to say with your new voice.
About Amy
I’m a senior communications professional with 20+ years’ experience delivering a range of assignments for non-profit, commercial and arts organisations. I’ve worked both in-house and freelance in New York and London. Highlights include: being a speechwriter at the New York City Fire Department after 9/11 and a bar critic for the New York Times. I’ve been based in London since 2010 and have enjoyed a rich and varied freelance career that has taken me to all sorts of exciting places, from the Edinburgh festival to Evidence Week in parliament. In my spare time, I’m a children’s writer represented by Alice Williams Literary.
Recent work
Campaign outreach, animations, a festival, an internal communications review — I’ve worked on a diverse range of exciting projects in recent months.
