Kind Words

Mel the ultimate professional when it comes to promotion, marketing and taking the stress and worry out of whatever your next event is. As Chair of the Harrogate International Youth Music Festival, Mel has had a significant impact in the way we market our events to the local area and proven that her expertise really does mean results. Her relationship with local stakeholders and businesses is second to none and her eye for detail is exemplary. This, combined with her desire to support all kinds of businesses and groups, be it large or small with a friendly disposition makes Mel the best in the area.

Mel has been a massive help to us providing some well needed focus and coordination of our marketing and social media activity. She has worked well with our committee to ensure the campaigns she has delivered have been on time and in budget, and produced work that looks professional and reflects our brand really well.
Tom Kyle (Chairman, BrassNeck Theatre)

“Mel has been a fantastic asset to our annual Festival. Mel’s knowledge, contacts and endless enthusiasm has ensured that we have gained really positive exposure in the local news which has translated into lucrative ticket sales for us as a business. Mel worked within budget and agreed timeframes to maximise the success of various communications strategies including enhancing our presence across social media. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mel for your project, her professionalism will deliver great results.”

Mel James has that rare and precious ability to actually make a difference, to move the dial. The HDS have been lucky enough in recent years to secure her services in publicising and selling our shows. We are delighted with the results.

We have, as with most theatrical groups these days, very finite resources to put behind promoting our productions but Mel will get the most from a limited budget and deliver an impactful and efficient campaign that sells tickets. She will liaise with directors, producers and our executive committee, to understand the dynamics of each show and work in line with those particular needs – whether it be an intense week in The Studio with Florian Zeller’s “The Mother” or working to build a main house audience for “Shakespeare in Love”.
