The Team

The Ballard team has a broad range of PR experience, gained in international agencies, specialist consultancies and in-house positions – from Brunswick to Bank of America; from oil to bricks, venture to telecoms; and from climate change in California to charities in Notting Hill! Nothing surprises us! What makes us different is that we really do have a deep knowledge of a variety of sectors – and know the journalists and publications well.

As a team, we are dedicated to building a different type of PR consultancy – focusing on first-rate corporate communications using expert consultants and delivering a fair priced, no-nonsense service for our clients.

Louise Ballard, founder, has 15 years of experience in corporate communications. Prior to setting up Ballard Associates, Louise was an Associate Director of Mantra PR. Before that, Louise worked for investor relations consultancy Macmaster + Company, global PR agency Edelman, and Deutsche Bank.
