About

Hello, I'm Katy. A creative consultant & journalist who has spent more than 25 years working in media, PR and marketing communications. ☺

I began my career in broadcast journalism in 2000 before transitioning into public relations and co-founding Boomerang, a digital communications consultancy based in Manchester. We've worked with the BBC, TATA Group, and Manchester City Football Club, and I’m proud to say that many of our client relationships have thrived for over two decades.

In addition to my work with Boomerang, I also run Creative Boom, an online magazine and podcast I launched in 2009 to support struggling creatives. Today, Creative Boom reaches over a million creative professionals each month. We’ve partnered with leading brands like Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Canon, and Wix to deliver impactful global campaigns to our niche audience.

Running both Boomerang and Creative Boom has allowed me to build diverse skills and experience. On the one hand, I provide consultancy to growing brands, and on the other, I continue my passion for giving back and supporting creatives. This dual focus allows me to uplift artists and designers worldwide while offering clients a unique perspective that helps them thrive.
