Create. Communicate. Connect.

I help clients share stories that connect with their audiences by
taking the heavy lifting out of communications planning and content creation

About Me

My name is Kate and I have 15 years’ experience working internationally across the corporate communications mix – running departments and teams in-house, and as a client-facing Consultant – for large, multi-national organizations like McKinsey & Company and PwC.
 
I have significant experience in change management and communications. In order for people to align and act on a message, they must first understand it, so I develop plans and content that make the complex simple, and deliver communications that are engaging and motivating.
 
With a background in PR, alongside extensive experience in internal communications I bring an ‘inside out’ perspective. As a consultant I’ve worked with clients from many different functions (Comms, HR, IT, Strategy. Boards, etc.), across a wide range of industries (from FS/PS to Pharma/Health to the public sector), so I understand how important it is to quickly come up to speed, both with new teams and on different topics.

Client testimonials

I recommend Kate with the highest consideration - fantastic to work with! Kate’s ability to synthesise very complex issues and create an easy to understand and highly communicative narrative is first class.

Carl Ward

Chair at Foundation for Education Development (fed.education)

I cannot recommend Kate Fahey highly enough as a strategic communications consultant. I have had the immense pleasure of working with her and witness her incredible wizardry (I use this term as I am not quite sure how she manages to do what she does in such short spaces of time) on two significant reports for the Foundation for Education Development. When she told me she could support with the second report, my immediate reaction was, ‘Thank God’. I knew we were in safe hands.

When she says she takes the heavy lifting out of content creation she absolutely means it. She super quickly works to understand key outputs required, she guides the editorial team in planning, leads on content creation and is critical in the review process as she knows what will land well with your audiences. And she does all of this in the spirit of collaboration, kindness, openness, flexibility and wickedly good humour. She works incredibly hard to deliver extremely high-quality work. I am honestly in awe of her. She would be my first go-to person for any communications needs I might have in the future.
