About

The Foundry House offers an unusual blend of strategic communications and project management skills.  As a team we offer expertise in all aspects of marketing communications, from PR and media relations to social media, event marketing, design and web development.

If you are looking to develop in-house communications capacity, the Virtual Communications Director model may be of interest as it sees us scoping out and delivering a strategic communications plan, whilst simultaneously developing/mentoring a member of your staff so that he/she can continue what we have started.  Or you may prefer the more traditional consultancy approach. Either way, whether you are working on a one-to-one basis with Marcie Bell or with Marcie and her associates as a team, what you see is what you get: highly credible (often award-winning) people with a wealth of experience and a passion for effective communications.

For individual biographies click through to team.  Collectively we offer a compelling mix of experience in consumer, B2B and corporate communications.

We believe the images on this website capture The Foundry House ethos:

Disciplined: you can rely on us to be on time, on message and on top of our work/brief for you. As experienced project managers, we are consummate forward planners with an eye for detail.

Strategic thinking: because we come at things fresh we bring a different perspective which, combined with your day-to-day knowledge of your business informs a clear strategic plan.

We are trusted because: we don’t make promises we can’t keep, we’ll tell you if we think you’re barking up the wrong tree and we get results.

Flexible: The Foundry House model offers a highly flexible solution to your communications needs. Project-based or retainer; one consultant or a team. It’s your call.

Fun: to do a really good job, you need to enjoy what you do and the way you work. And we do!
The stimulation we get from each other’s ideas and experience is ploughed into our work for our clients so you get current, creative and strategic advice and we have fun delivering it.

And last but not least, we are connected: we couldn’t find an image we liked to illustrate this but connections count. When we see an opportunity, we will connect you with people we feel could help you get where you want to go.
