Emily Maister

Emily is a policy and communications expert with over a decade of experience at the frontline of UK politics. A rapid problem solver, she is accustomed to working with senior figures under intense public scrutiny who want to land a message in the short-term, realise ambitions in the long-term, and ensure their reputation is protected.

In times of crisis, Emily delivers clear, strategic guidance, keeping stakeholders informed and ensuring communications are effectively delivered to both the public and key decision-makers. She is equally adept at realising proactive opportunities for her clients. Her campaign work has been recognised nationally, earning her a ‘Campaign Manager of the Year’ award, having worked on local, mayoral and national election campaigns at the Conservative Campaign Headquarters.
