I'm Ciaran, and I've been a professional communicator for more than 25 years.

I've worked in everything from big businesses and global charities to boutique, specialist creative agencies. 

Whenever I've sat on company Boards or in Exec teams, lead communications departments or worked alongside creative partners, I've been able to show that having a defined purpose unlocks colossal potential for creativity, content, and ultimately value. 

Get it right and it can transform your brand, your marketing, public relations, public affairs, even internal communications - and often the whole lot. 

This is what I delivered while leading the communications directorate and sitting on the Board of a £1bn+ turnover business, very much in the public eye. 

I'm an intelligent, empathetic, creative and purpose-driven Exec-level leader working at the interface between regulation, politics, the environment, commerciality and the public. You might call it Corporate Affairs - I think of it as helping a business show up better for its customers, colleagues, and the world around it.

I set up The Brand Purpose Network because I care deeply about making business better while defining and driving purpose to unlock value for shareholders, stakeholders, colleagues, and the environment. 

After all this time I have an established network of time-served professionals, each expert in their own field. Writers, designers, CMOs, agency chiefs, videographers and fellow Board members - the overlap being they all understand what purpose-oriented businesses want.  

If you'd like to discuss how my network and I might be able to help you, please get in touch.
