Hi, I’m Kaye Holland, a energetic and versatile media & communications specialist with over two decades of experience across multiple platforms and four continents. I specialise in content strategy, editorial direction, coaching and leading teams, and delivering KPI-driven results for brands and partners. I’ve built and guided content across websites, social, video and print, balancing creative vision with commercial goals. I’m passionate about travel, podcasting, and presenting, and I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can mentor others, shape editorial tone, and represent brands publicly. When I’m not writing or strategising, I enjoy exploring new destinations, leading walking tours around London, and hosting a Women’s Football podcast.
