Corrie McLeod is Managing Director of Espresso Communications, a company she established in 2004 after her son was born. Initially planning to do some freelance work whilst navigating the inevitable parenting/work balance challenges – Espresso was established. The small freelance jobs got bigger, and long term clients signed up, all through word of mouth and positive referrals.  Fast forward to today and Espresso is a thriving company which is a testimony to her hard work and love of the industry. And of course a great team.

Corrie is a creative thinker, skilled at collaborating with clients to develop PR strategies that map specifically to business objectives.  With a keen interest in social media, Corrie has a good grasp of the evolving communications landscape and has spoken at a number of conferences about how organisations can better use social media technologies.
