Caroline has been a pleasure to work with due to her thoughtful, pragmatic, flexible approach to writing copy plus her good understanding of the market. Caroline gave great advice with regard to how to reach our audience and wrote great copy. She was easy to work with as she'd write a draft based on a brief and then quickly take feedback to shape it to our needs.  Steve Lamb - Technical Director for EMEA - Cipher
