About Me

"The art of communication is the language of leadership."
  ~ James Humes

 

Welcome to my online portfolio. 

I'm an independent communications consultant and freelance writer and editor with many years of experience and I trade under the name of Cahill Communications

I've been in private practice since 2002, providing communications, writing and editing services for nearly 200 clients and agencies - both locally and internationally - and have a strong academic and business background. 

I work with clients either directly or as a supplier to their agencies.  


I specialise in corporate and media communications, developing integrated reporting suites, white papers and corporate profiles as well as media releases, editorial features, op-eds and thought-leadership pieces. I also develop web copy, social media content and a range of stakeholder communications, including results announcements. 

From time to time, I edit business strategies and plans, management reports, specialist research reports, academic papers and conference presentations. I also train large language models (AI) and have worked on a number of large projects since 2022. 

In my consulting work, I specialise in developing communications policy and key messaging guidelines. 

Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have about your communications needs. My contact details are on the Contact page. 

Queries relating to projects of any nature, size or scope are welcome and there is no charge for taking a brief and developing a project proposal and cost estimate. I offer standard rates for media pieces and provide detailed quotes for larger projects based on the client's brief. Project costs are guaranteed unless there is a change in brief or scope.
