About the founder

Hello! I’m Rachel, the founder of The Comms Bar.

I have 10+ years of experience in PR and comms, working in London, Cambridge, Dubai, and New York. In 2021, I came back to the UK on a mission to work independently, supporting within PR agencies as well as one-to-one with small businesses, entrepreneurs and talent.

The Comms Bar was set up to make PR more accessible. I work directly with clients to find the best PR solution for them, and am able to pull in support from a network of highly qualified freelance PR and communications professionals when needed.

I have worked with household names such as Montblanc, PwC, British Council, Morrisons, eBay, McDonald’s and TGI Fridays. Tech companies such as Microsoft and Workday, tourism for Agoda and Qatar Tourism, and automotive for Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Fiat and Jeep. I was also awarded Freelancer of the Year 2022!

I sit on the Advisory Council of New York nonprofit, The Art Therapy Project, an organisation that provides free art therapy for trauma survivors. You can find out about the great work they do here > https://thearttherapyproject.org/
