More about Moxy

Our mission is to help people think differently and communicate better.

And to show leaders that they don’t have to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders alone.

When you show your moxy, you have the confidence of your own conviction. You trust your instincts to challenge convention and do things your way, often in the face of adversity.

That’s what shaped our purpose. We want to pioneer a new approach to communications consultancy which provides organisations with the advice and support they deserve at a price they can justify.

That means no expensive retainers. No off the shelf products. No over promising of senior time. And (sorry) no fancy glass walled offices.

Just practical advice and support delivered in a way that suits your needs and budget.

Suzanne Edmond

Founding Director

I spent twenty years working in international, corporate, government and charity communications advising senior leaders and cabinet ministers controversial and high-profile issues across media relations, external affairs, digital, marketing and crisis communications.

I never did like doing things by the book. So maybe I should have been less surprised to discover in my early thirties that I was dyslexic.

I was creative, loved images and storytelling. I always saw the big picture first, not because I was jumping to the end or rushing, but because I joined the dots in a different order.

I founded Moxy Communications on the belief that dyslexic thinking is an untapped source of creative solutions to today’s unprecedented communications challenges. And let’s be honest, we have a lot to contend with right now.

I also wanted to challenge the (quite frankly ridiculous) idea that Directors of Communication didn’t need positive encouragement, that they should carry the weight of an organisation’s reputation on their shoulders alone without complaint.

I believe that the world needs to understand, embrace, and empower those who think differently. I want to unlock everyone’s potential to show their moxy. To allow them the confidence of their own conviction, to trust their instincts to challenge convention and do things their way.

To be brave, to be bold, to think differently and ultimately communicate better.

Our support is underpinned by three core principles.

"We genuinely could not have done this project with Suzanne and Moxy. Moxy’s work in understanding what the wider organisation needed and demonstrating how we could be better set up to provide it was game changing. The personal support given to my leadership team and I has been second to none and made a sometimes difficult process much easier. "

Hannah Fletcher Director of Communications, National Highways

"Suzanne's coaching expertise has helped me gain control and clarity. Each session is energising and thought provoking through the way she makes me think, process, and find a way forward. And – the most underrated of all qualities in professional life – she is great fun! Thanks a million Suzanne – you have boosted me so much."

Caroline Brill, Marketing & Communications Director, Unipart

"Suzanne delivered a brilliant session as part of our Ultimate Masterclass Festival, the feedback to which has been incredible. Suzanne shares her own experiences, expert insights, and personal story around dyslexia with warmth and honesty. Her talk is fascinating, inspiring, and empowering for any audience to hear. I’d highly recommend making time for an in-depth Q&A session, we’ve never had so many!"

Ryan Crighton, Policy and Marketing Director, Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce

"Suzanne not only built the framework that allowed us to redefine our business values, but more importantly she guided us through it. Her guidance was crucial - it made sure that everyone in the company felt like they were part of the process. She helped us navigate (and showed great patience) through hours of debates and made sure we stayed on the right track and true to ourselves. "

Alexandra Ibrova, Managing Director, Operations, Gatehouse Advisory Partners

"To say that Suzanne has completely transformed the way I view the world of work would be an understatement! She’s given me clarity where I had confusion, motivation when I thought I had nothing left to give, and confidence when I thought I wasn’t good enough (hello imposter syndrome!) If you’re thinking of professional coaching drop Suzanne a line – only good things will happen!"

Laura Vaughan, Director, Ketchum

"An engaging and passionate speaker, Suzanne draws on her personal (and fascinating!) experience as a dyslexic working in senior roles, while offering practical and realistic advice and tips to ensure that different forms of communication are accessible to all. We cannot recommend Suzanne highly enough."

Shona Hendry, North East Communications Group

"Suzanne really put the comms team through their paces, stress testing our crisis communications plan. It’s rare that such a demanding and thought-provoking workshop is also fun. We all came out fizzing with ideas and ways to improve. Thanks, Suzanne- I cannot recommend Moxy Communications more highly."

Madeleine Hallward, Group Head of Communications, Associated British Ports (ABP)

"I wanted to take a minute to shout out Suzanne for her brilliant coaching services. Our conversations have given me time and space to reflect – something that I definitely forget to do when caught up in the day to day! It’s amazing how a simple question can help you look at something in a different way and unlock new ideas. I’ve gained so much in just a few sessions so far."

Clare Quinlivan, Digital Communications Lead, The Nursing and Midwifery Council

"Suzanne was absolutely brilliant in her approach. She shared insightful considerations and top tips on how we can be more creative by using the power of storytelling to cut through the noise and better connect with our audiences. She was wonderfully witty and warm, which opened up enthusiastic conversations. It was an absolute pleasure to hear her speak"

Stella Morris, Communications and Engagement Manager, University of Manchester

"Suzanne is responsive, flexible and insightful, bringing a fresh perspective to our most critical communications challenges. With a sound understanding of the environment in which we operate, Suzanne has provided very valuable advice and support, helping us develop an insight based, empathetic communications strategy that addresses our business needs."

Elliot Shaw, Executive Director Strategy & Planning, National Highways

"As someone stepping up to a leadership role, I have found Suzanne’s thoughtful and authentic approach extremely invaluable. Drawing on her experience in business and government, she will empower you to trust your instincts, and challenge you to be considered about the best strategy to drive meaningful outcomes. I would 100% recommend the opportunity of working with her!"

Jasbir Basi, Head of Corporate Affairs, SSE Plc

"Suzanne’s talk on ‘burning out brightly’ was so refreshing and authentic. She combines an open and honest approach with super helpful advice, which is critical for any communications team working under pressure. Her talk prompted huge interest and questions from the team who were still discussing it days later! "
