About

Helen Stallard Communications exists to provide the support you need to communicate effectively.

I know that for both commercial and not-for-profit organisations, investing time in effective communications is the only way of getting your message across to your customers and visitors, sponsors and funders.

More importantly, for many cultural organisations,charities and small business, your communications need a personal touch in order to set yourselves apart from faceless corporations.

Helen Stallard Communications works with clients across the cultural and not-for-profit sector and with restaurants, food producers and small commercial organisations to achieve these aims.

About Me

I became interested in Communications ten years ago when working a student placement in the marketing and publicity departments of the publishing house Penguin.

My aim then was to combine the business of communications with things I’m interested in and understand: culture, arts, heritage, local food and community.

I believed then, and now, that everyone should have the ability to experience world-class culture and fantastic food regardless of their level of income, education or location in the county. And whilst I can’t put galleries in villages or farms in cities, what I can do is tell people what is out there in a language that they’ll understand.

Eight years on, after time studying and working within arts organisations, I set up my own business catering for cultural organisations and 'more than profit' small business.

Helen Stallard Communications now works with arts centres, galleries, dance companies, restaurants, food producers, heritage bodies, educational bodies and more.

I am a member of the AMA (Arts Marketing Association), am accredited on the West Midlands Supplier Register and am reading for the CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) Professional Diploma in Marketing.

Relevant to my work with restaurants, I hold the WSET Advanced Certificate in wine and spirits.

I am also a Trustee of Dancefest, the regional dance agency for Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
