I worked with Rachel on the launch of a number of licensed chocolate products. She was a highly passionate and ambitious client who gave really clear direction on brand communications and totally understood the commercials of the business. Her enthusiasm in a meeting, or on a night out, was infectious.

Rachel is driven, someone who just gets things done. Intensely commercial, she proved her instinct for signing the right characters for the business, which, to get the best ones without paying through the nose for it, is none too easy. Rachel also is a ‘work hard, play hard’ individual and was always fiercely committed to the business.

Rachel secured all of the major entertainment licensing brands that we wanted to work with and the majority of the deals were negotiated before they were hot. She has excellent relationships with all of the major studios and licensing agents.
She secured the rights for Magnum and Cornetto from Unilever; won the rights for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire before they had a licensing agent and signed Harry Potter before their deal with Warner Brothers.
