Jonathan Coad

I preserve the value of clients’ corporate and individual reputation, those of their brands etc when they are threatened by the media, using a full range of legal and regulatory protections available.  I have done this work for over 20 years, and work closely with leading PR agencies to craft media strategies when your hard won corporate or individual reputation is under commercial threat by the media.
