TEAM DEMOCRACY

Head of Agency

Jen is a hands on in the business - driving us all forward through insight, investment and unrelentlous energy.

She invests in the career development of every team member - understanding their passions, recognising their ambitions, rewarding their efforts.

At her core, she's a reputational strategist, skilled at solving communication challenges with creativity and clarity.

Media Strategist

Graeme brings more than two decades of experience in the toughest newsrooms in Britain to shape our clients’ media strategies.

With plenty of ink under his fingers, Graeme is perfectly placed to advise clients on all aspects of modern communications, campaign strategy, training spokespeople and crisis management.

Years spent on Fleet Street and in the regions with the Daily Mail, Sun, Manchester Evening News and Scottish Daily Record have given this ex-journalist the experience, and insight to build campaigns that get people talking. Or just to provide a killer pun when required.

News Director

Content king Carl knows better than most how newsrooms operate, having spent two decades working in a string of roles in the national media.
He now harnesses this expertise alongside extensive senior-level industry contacts to precision tool messaging and generate maximum cut-through for Democracy’s clients.

A digital-native and former Sun website editor, Carl has contributed to award-winning campaigns for blue chip giants including British Airways, Jaguar Land Rover and MoneySuperMarket.

Client Partner

With almost a decade of experience, Hannah brings a raft of industry insight to all accounts. Working at a senior level to help clients identify areas of growth, opportunities for new product development, supporting the route to market and driving consumer demand.

She guides a six strong client services team. Numbers driven, she sets high targets and guides her team to deliver measurable results day in day out.

Senior Client Director

Sarah joined Democracy in 2019 and has a senior role in the client advocacy team, leading both B2C and B2B accounts across homes and interiors, FMCG and business to business services.

She is an accomplished account director and a trusted consultant for clients, with a wealth of communications experience and a strong track record of developing and executing creative, effective campaigns that exceed expectations every time.

Head of Social Media & Influencer Marketing

Social Media never sleeps, and being a Dad of three children under 10 years old I class social media as child number 4.

I love nothing more than a country walk, cooking a meal for my family and friends and playing whatever sport the Manchester weather permits.

I have a history of working with, growing the social presence of and developing the strategies of some of the biggest brands in the UK – O2 and Sage.

Evolution of platforms whilst ensuring values and having people led strategies is what drives me and underpins the work I do.

Creative Lead

If you can watch, print or tap it, you can bet that Andy’s been involved. Developing projects from ideation through to delivery, in a uniquely hands-on and collaborative way.

Andy joined Democracy in the summer of 2020. Bringing with him a history that includes local government creativity, a stint in Helsinki and a good chunk of time at Children’s BBC.

Group Commercial Director

As a former award-winning journalist Caroline knows how to tell your brand’s story to get the results that will really make a difference to your business.

Unapologetically commercial in her approach, she marries her journalistic credentials with her business nous to deliver campaigns that are creative, compelling and above all commercial.

With a successful track record in director roles both in-house and within agency, Caroline understands the challenges clients face and works in partnership with them at a strategic level to understand their business objectives and aspirations.

As Group Commercial Director for Democracy she oversees agency efficiency, accuracy and profitability to ensure every client’s budget is used to generate maximum impact and an impressive Return On Investment.

Head of Talent

Beth joined the team in 2020 (although she’d been an external consultant for years!). She now looks after finding and developing the best talent in the business.
The people who work at Democracy are the most valuable assets that the agency has and Beth leads the charge on creating a work environment that’s safe, respectful and supportive.

Under her watchful eye, Democracy has now formalised its training programme at all levels to ensure that there is a continual professional development plan for every team member.
