About

Spectacle Communications: Making your content look and sound great

I am the founder and head of Spectacle Communications (www.spectaclecomms.co.uk), a small communications consultancy business. I have 13 years of corporate communication experience at companies like State Street, Royal London and Martin Currie, but I've also written two successful books - visit https://dkilfara.jimdo.com/ for more about my writing history - and worked as a journalist for Golf Digest magazine and a sports commentator for the likes of ESPN in the US and Eurosport in the UK. I have a B.A. from Harvard University and am passionate about sports, history, my family and making corporate communications look and sound better (but not necessarily in that order!).

I am always looking for other people who share my frustration with badly designed and delivered corporate communications and feel driven to make things better – if that description fits you, drop me a line at info@spectaclecomms.co.uk and I’d love to get in touch.

Founded: 2015

Work Terms

I charge affordable daily rates for each of my services and will tailor quotes for you based upon the complexity and length of your requirements.

I'm based near Edinburgh and tend to work remotely, but I will travel throughout the UK (and beyond) as required to be with you in person and help you get the most out of your communications budget and resources.

Turnaround times are always flexible – if you’re in a special hurry, let me know and I’ll try to provide rush delivery (subject to my workload). If not, I will quote you expected turnaround times as well as a sensible fee depending upon the amount of support you require.

Check out my portfolio here on Guru for samples of my work: eZines, presentations, brochures and speeches.
