Community-centric Content and Communications Support

As a Northumberland-based freelance content and communications specialist, I want to help our North East communities.
It’s the number one reason I started Berg & Heart. I believe in the transformational power of education and shared experience. The community I live in and the people I live alongside deserve the best.

If you are working on a family and community-centric project or you’re part of an organisation that wants to reach more people with help, right here in the North, I’d love to work with you to make it happen.

Book me for a project or on retainer

I’m often booked by marketing directors and heads of communications in public-facing organisations, hitting the ground running in situations where you might consider an interim hire but need more flexibility. I’ve worked with fire & rescue services, schools, universities, councils and children’s services departments.

White label content support services for marketing and PR agencies and freelancers

I work with agencies and collaborate with other freelancers to action the copywriting, blogging, content writing or communications strand of a wider marketing strategy. I can provide extra specialist resource or holiday cover, too.

“Fay blended into our team seamlessly, picking up projects threads effortlessly. She quickly got to the nub of the project, and– frankly – just got on with it, which is exactly what we needed. I hope we have her back soon at Newcastle University.”
