Using the experience, skills and knowledge I have gained from a 15+ year career in digital journalism, video and strategic communications, I set-up Stuart Appleby Media to help and support others to tell their story and land important messaging with key audiences.
From one-off projects to major announcements to delivering a fully integrated strategic communications strategy and plan, I am committed to raising the profile of my clients through high-quality and impactful multiplatform media work.
My key services include:
- Strategic communications expertise, media relations guidance and consultancy
- Cultivating in-house content – that means interviewing staff, case studies and customers on camera to champion the brand, business and services
- Digital journalism – including sourcing and delivering stories as well as social media management and website building using latest AI tools
- Media training and crisis communications planning for leaders and key spokespeople
- First-class video production and editing for corporate and personal events and occasions

My communications and media work is always tailored to meet the needs of the client, but I do specialise in the following subject matters and policy areas:
- General news, sport, current affairs and the news agenda – getting cut through with your stories and maximising cross-platform engagement
- Housing delivery and residential development – from affordable and social housing to private rented sector
- Built-in environment – including sustainable and energy-efficient design for housebuilding
- Transport, air quality and the environment – from green travel to infrastructure to communicating operational decision-making
- Partnership working – working with businesses and high-profile organisations to ensure a joined up response to emerging issues, such as major incidents
