MEET THE TEAM
I’ve been here from the start and I’m immensely proud of what we achieve. Our blend of data-driven insight and creativity inspires me. When I’m not working, I’m… Skiing, eating cheese and drinking wine (but not at the same time)!
Elizabeth Spencer-Phillips
Founding Director and MD
I have enormous fun shaping the world of employee comms. The pace of innovation, technology and change keeps me on my toes! When I’m not working, I’m… Cycling. The challenge, the scenery and the fresh air is wonderful.
Christopher Hopkins
Founding Director and Lead Communications Consultant
I balance creativity with clarity (having originally trained as an architect). From gamification to web design, I’m passionate about employee engagement. When I’m not working, I’m…cooking, watching movies and drinking wine.
Chris Andrew
Strategy Director
I love making accountancy relevant and understandable to everyone. It’s made Caburn Hope and me a perfect fit. When I’m not working, I’m… Mucking out my Connemara ponies or studying for my Open University degree.
Ros Stokeld

I’ve worked in marketing and design agencies since I graduated. Still to this day, I love the whole creative process from initial idea to post-production. When I'm not working I'm...enjoying Brighton!
Caroline Russell
Employee Communication Specialist
I’m happiest building brands using integrated techniques. Whether it’s video, social or creative design, I achieve results - fast. Oh, I’m also fluent in French and Italian too. When I’m not working, I’m… Cooking and binge-watching box sets.
Alessandra De Santis

From Reward to talent, brand to HRIS, I enjoy helping people solve their engagement challenges. When I’m not working, I’m….playing keyboards in a covers band and working on my allotment.
Steve Affleck

My expertise is Internal Communications and I’m passionate about keeping people connected - realising the role they play in the bigger picture. When I’m not working I’m… playing Rugby or Netball.
Courtney Dobson
Employee Communication Specialist
I’ve always worked in employer brand and employee communications as I find it fascinating. Immersing yourself into organisations to produce communications which showcase their culture is so rewarding. When I’m not working…I’m enjoying family days out in the Sussex countryside.
Vicky Johnstone
Account Director
I have worked in digital agencies since 2013 and love the process of bringing exciting initial ideas to life. When I am not putting together project plans and excel documents both at work and in my personal life, I can be found spending time with family and friends in and around Brighton.
Alex Jones
Employee Communication Specialist
I am a creative, passionate marketing professional who enjoys learning about the latest digital marketing trends that help drive brands to success. When I'm not working... I am hanging out with my family, running, cooking and setting my sights on our next travel destination!

Our Brand Story
| COMPANY HISTORY | BRAND STORY |
Inspiring people since 1993. Ahead of the internet and into the digital age; as Human Resources took over from the Personnel function and invested in the development and retention of their talented people; from people being seen as a resource, to being empowered as an enabler of business performance. Throughout this time, Caburn Hope has worked with some of the world’s leading businesses and brands. These are all companies who inspire people to maximise their individual opportunities and aspirations, whether as consumers or employees. Keeping our focus on the ever-changing world of work, our heritage in marketing means we understand behaviours – and the powerful effect of inspiring communication. | What’s in an identity? The Morse code in our brand is a metaphor for our approach to decoding business goals and understanding why people would be motivated to achieve them. Look closely at our logo and you will see the Morse spells our initials C and H. This code crosses the red circle to signify our global experience. Are you ready to decipher our brand messages? |
