A Word From People I've Worked With
You'll get a good understand of what it's like to work with me from this feedback from some of the amazing clients, bosses, creatives and people I’ve worked with.
"I had the absolute pleasure of hiring and working with Natalie during her time as a freelancer providing bid support at Communisis for approximately two years. From the very beginning, Natalie stood out as exceptionally talented, professional, and a joy to work alongside.
Natalie has a remarkable ability to step into a role seamlessly, delivering high-quality work with minimal guidance. Her expertise in bid support is evident in every project she takes on, and she has an incredible knack for understanding requirements and producing results under tight deadlines.
What truly sets Natalie apart is her "just get it done" attitude. She approaches challenges with calm efficiency, ensuring that every detail is addressed while maintaining a positive and collaborative working style. Her reliability and capability made a significant impact on our team, and she quickly became an integral part of our bid processes.
On top of her professional brilliance, Natalie is wonderful to work with—a friendly, supportive, and approachable colleague who elevates the working environment for everyone around her.
I would jump at the chance to work with Natalie again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, dependable, and all-around fantastic freelancer."
"Working with Natalie Gerrish, a professional with 30 years in marketing and creative project management, was a remarkable experience. Natalie's work ethic is extraordinary, as is her dedication to excellence in areas like design, web, and live events.
Her ability to share knowledge and foster collaboration is outstanding. She excels in planning and implementing complex projects, paying meticulous attention to detail to maximise results and value.
Natalie’s leadership skills are exemplary, guiding teams through challenging projects with a positive and motivating approach. Her commitment was crucial to our project's success, highlighting her skill in leveraging diverse talents and resources.
Natalie is an invaluable asset and mentor, and I wholeheartedly recommend her. Working with her is a privilege, and I eagerly anticipate future collaborations."
"Natalie joined CDS as a contractor in April 2023 to support my team with creating digital marketing collateral for quick-turnaround projects. Natalie has exceeded expectations and provided all of us with hugely valuable insights on how to improve our strategic as well as our tactical marketing campaigns. Natalie goes above and beyond to support us achieve the goals of each campaign, and has also made valuable connections between us and her extensive network of marketing and technology experts. I would highly recommend Natalie's work, and she is also a pleasure to work with. Thanks Natalie and we look forward to continuing to work with you into the future."
"I've worked with Natalie for a year now, her value and contribution to various projects across multiple teams has rendered her invaluable resulting in contract extensions - she's still here...Natalie is not thought of as a Freelancer, she is a firmly embedded team member whose assistance, attention to detail and knowledge is invaluable."
"Natalie helped us grow our digital platform and talked us through everything she did.
The brand awareness went through the roof and our portfolio has grown and evidentially this is thanks to Natalie! There was no question she couldn’t answer and even when we asked stupid questions she answered them!
She is a joy to work with and her constant upbeat professionalism really worked for us as a small business. We really appreciated her quick answers to everything we put her way.
We will always use Natalie on future work and I would highly recommend her. "
"This is great Natalie, what you have done in a day would have taken me a month"

“Natalie is one of those people who is not phased by anything. Her mantra is always “what needs doing”, “how can I help”.
She can turn her hand to almost anything and is one of the hardest working people I know.
I had the pleasure of hiring Natalie for a couple of days a week for a few months (thankfully she was able to fit us in) to help us at an extremely busy time and she has been invaluable in managing the compiling of bid material, mapping out processes and generally rolling her sleeves up and diving straight in.
Whether it be a whole in your marketing plans, lack of resources or just sheer volume of work, I cannot recommend Natalie more highly. “
"Natalie is tenacious, resourceful, and a problem solver. Her faultless reliability and dependability are outshone only by her drive and commitment to work around any challenge in front of her and do it with a smile. Natalies wealth of knowledge and industry specific experiences have been the backbone of the work we undertook together."
"On induction into Communisis, Natalie's guidance and consolidation of company information was invaluable, providing clarity and outstanding organisation. Thank you Natalie!"

“For the past 4 years, I have had the pleasure of working with Natalie. Professionalism. Dedicated. Goes above and beyond. Can-do attitude. A cheerful character, these are just a few of the attributes I associate with Natalie. There is not a lot that Natalie doesn’t know about business promotion and she is more than willing to learn new things to the benefit of the client or project she’s involved with. Natalie has a lovely nature, loves a chat and banter, but work and doing the best job possible is her passion, nothing overlooked, nothing missed. I have no hesitation in recommending Natalie… We miss her, we’d have her back tomorrow if we could!”
Ade Prosser
Manager Director: Five Talents Creative Design & Marketing
“I met Natalie at a networking event and instantly loved her energy and spirit! Working with Natalie is a whirlwind of inspiration and fun, BUT, more importantly she really knows what she’s doing. I think Natalie goes above and beyond the ‘normal’ when it comes to strategy, attention to detail, and really getting down the nub of an issue. More than that (it’s a given she’s got loads of experience), she’s great to work with. She drives a team to be better, achieve more and get behind a project. She resonates with clients, understands their pain-points and then delivers, in great detail, a plan of action. Highly recommend Natalie – not many i would say that about.”
Diane Benn
Business Owner, Board Member of Young Enterprise - WY
“We had the pleasure of hiring Natalie to help with some processes and recruitment oversight and she blew us away. Very organised and methodical, just what our entrepreneurial group needed. A real go-getter who was happy to pick up the phone when needed and excellent communicator. Would definitely recommend.”
Lee Kenny

“This is the easiest recommendation of my career! Quite simply, Natalie is the finest example of her trade that I have had the pleasure to work with. My specific needs were catered for in exhaustive fashion, providing absolute clarity for a third party assisting with Web building.
The level of detail was forensic, with constant consideration always on point regarding brand and individual strategy. Dialogue regarding the minutiae of my requirements was professional, well educated, but delivered in a personal manner that was particularly conducive for my lack of experience and understanding in this regard, I particularly appreciated this approach. There are not many individuals who I would feel confident enough to endorse so publicly, however Natalie is certainly within my circle of trust and I feel both pride and delight that she has provided such an instrumental service steering concept toward design. For anyone looking to conquer social media, or establish an intuitive and ergonomic platform for user friendly perusal then look no further!
Do yourselves a favour and connect with Natalie Gerrish to discuss your needs in a thorough, experienced and enthusiastic manner.”
John Caven

“Natalie is a very focused, energetic and well liked individual, possessing a wide range of knowledge and skills across Marcomms and Event Management, with a real ‘can do’ and does do attitude. A real asset to any business and I would recommend Natalie and her work ethic to anyone.”
“I have worked with Natalie for more years than either of us care to mention! For both of us at a number of different businesses, which is testament to her utter professionalism; she has an unerring ability to cut through to what really matters as well as being creative and a safe pair of hands for projects both big and small due to her vast experience. Highly recommend.”
Zoe Milner
Marketing Director
“Having worked with Natalie on a recent project she is a great asset to any project, her communication skills and ability to get things done is second to none. Creating a very in-depth design brief for me to work to made the project run very smoothly. Providing great copy and helping the client understand the need from a web design and developers point of view. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Natalie.”

"We at Flexijet have been working with Natalie for several months. Her work, attitude, communication, eye for detail are excellent and we can highly recommend Natalie as a marketing expert. Our brand awareness in the market has increased significantly since working with her. Hiring Natalie was one of the best marketing decisions we made in the last months."
"Dear Natalie, Thank you so much for working closely alongside us on our marketing adventure - it's been great to have you on our team! Wishing you all the very best, Dan, Vicky, Sadie and The Stonegate Team."
"In the short time I've worked with Natalie she has proved herself skilled, industrious and I am confident she will deliver us great results for the project she is working on. She has good communication and planning and leaves me confident I have left the project in capable, experienced hands."
"Natalie is pro-active, an expert in her field and great to work with.
She’s totally transparent, completely honest and will always go over and above.
I’ve loved working with Natalie and would recommend her to anyone. Natalie is one of a kind!"
"I've worked with Natalie on a number of occasions and her project management, change management, event management, and interpersonal skills are of a high standard.
If you have a physical or digital project to manage, you need to look no further than Natalie!"
"After a few teething problems with our new shop website I reached to Natalie to help. We had a few hours brainstorming and chatting about objectives, followed by Natalie showing me how to get the best out of social networking platforms. I was amazed how quickly I got our new website back on track and ranking again on Google for our local delivery areas. Thank you Nat xx."
"Natalie provides excellent sales admin support in a variety of ways. This has included capturing tasks from meetings, ensuring we have up to date case studies and managing external support such as copy/graphics. Natalie provides a backbone to our team and will do what is needed to support and ensure deadlines are hit. She is also extremely down to earth and will lend an ear when you’ve had a tough week. I’m really glad Natalie is part of our team and provides the gel which offend holds everything together. Thank you 😊."
"I worked with Natalie at Communisis from 2022/23. Natalie was my go-to person as she pulled together the projects myself and the copywriter were working on. She works in a very methodical, effective and highly energised manner which in these type of industries is needed."
"When I first met Natalie it quickly became apparent that we were very like minded, could work exceptionally well together and had a similar approach to our ways of working…….process driven but also a creative think outside the box mentality.
As the sales lead for Public Sector I needed to build a solid information platform from which we could efficiently turn around bid opportunities, which included the building of a centralised bid library containing best practice answers.
Natalie was seconded to support this process and has been instrumental in setting this up with appropriate content.
Her collaborative approach has been fantastic and when given a task she is self-sufficient and would run with it and always deliver as per agreed timings.
Communication is a particular strong point of Natalie's and always kept me in the loop whilst working on this business critical project.
Alongside her process driven nature, Natalie is also very innovative and not afraid to challenge the Status Quo, regularly providing excellent ideas on content and creative ideas which would enhance the proposal documentation, which had previously been text heavy.
Her experience within the creative and marketing communications sector is exceptional and was always willing to share her considerable knowledge to enhance our proposition to deliver positive outcomes and an improved customer experience.
Natalie has become an instrumental part of our team to the extent that she is a natural extension to our team – at no point did I ever consider her as being a contractor, which is testament to how well Natalie integrates with her clients and their teams."
"I was working on projects without any structure, written briefs or timelines. Then along came Natalie and, very soon, I had all three.
Natalie is a bundle of energy who is always on the case. She liaises with subject matter experts to get the information I need to write and edit presentations, ITTs and more. And she helps to organise my time so that I deliver work that is well received.
If you want your projects to be managed better, speak to Natalie."
"Great to work and collaborate with Natalie who always adopts a positive and helpful approach to every project with energy and commitment. Extremely adaptable, her eye for detail and quickly identifies the solutions and best practices required to manage any process. A genuine asset to the team."
"Natalie is one of the most capable people I have ever met, she can turn her hand to anything you need, she has a wealth of knowledge on a broad range of subjects, and is always the person you turn to when you need to talk something through and decide a way forward.
She is hardworking, and an asset to any team she is a part of. Drop her in at the start or part way through a project and she will add value, sometimes where you might not think there could be any!
She is process driven, and makes sure that the brief is clear and understood in order that there will be benefits driven from all requests.
She has a creative flair and a deep understanding of website creation and development and support pretty much any project you have.
I can't recommend Natalie enough, she's brilliant. On top of her professional knowledge, she has Sass! She's fun to have around and really adds joy into working with her.
Natalie - it's been wonderful working with you, hopefully we will work together again in the future, and if not, we will definitely meet up for beers!"
“Natalie is a substantial asset to my team. Not only does she integrate well she takes ownership, recognises unseen gaps, pinpoints and addresses them.
If you want a yes person then Natalie is not for you, she’s proactive, tells it how it is, and provides customer centric solutions for putting it right. She is a considerable support to me and my team and has contributed massively to projects and to the sales team.
I’m only sorry that she’s a freelancer as I would, without any shadow of a doubt, be proud to have her as a full time employee in my team

“I was recommended to speak to Natalie through a mutual contact who had known Natalie for many years and was familiar with her work with her clients. I knew what I wanted to do with our brand and the end goal, I just needed support getting there. So, after a brief meeting I liked Natalie’s positive approach and attitude, she just got it straight away what was needed to be done and how we could get there. We’ve now worked together for 2 months putting the strategy together and the plan into action, brainstorming ideas for Walker Group and achieving what we wanted to achieve. I continue to work with Natalie as her collaborative approach, willingness to share knowledge, flexibly and can-do attitude is a great help.”
