Following a spell in London advertising at the start of her career, Rebekah went on to join HM Government as a communications specialist, working across a wide policy portfolio, supporting various Secretaries of State and Ministers. These experiences led her to pursue opportunities in the Middle East, where she continued to deliver strategic campaigns and initiatives rooted in social impact for the UAE leadership in Abu Dhabi.

Working with a range of brands, charities, startups, governments, and non-profits, she delivers strategic, evidence-based, attention-grabbing storytelling, and campaigns.

In 2022 she was recognised as a ’40 over Forty’ award-winner, acknowledging her status as one of the world’s foremost communications specialists. The following year, her narrative memoir writing earned commendation as an Evening Standard ‘Stories’ Finalist, in a ceremony held at BAFTA.
