Having completed a PR and Media degree at the College of St Mark and St John, Plymouth, affiliated to the University of Exeter, I worked for seven years for a range of PR businesses from agencies to in-house marketing communications, in all sectors from IT to FMCG. I then managed the communications programme for British yachtsman, Mike Golding, when he was competing in the Vendee Globe, non stop solo circumnavigation.
Deciding to go it alone in September 2005 I launched Maccom offering freelance marketing communication services.
I am an independent freelance marketing communications consultant who offers a service which provides the benefits of an in-house employee without the commitment of employment.
Previously I successfully directed the communications strategy for the yacht racing event, the VELUX 5 OCEANS, a solo circumnavigation with stopovers, delivering over 60 million euro of global media coverage. Most recently I supported the strategic development of the communications plan for Artemis Investment Management’s sponsorship campaign of Artemis Ocean Racing’s Open 60 grand prix yachts with British skipper, Jonny Malbon and also, the finish of the Artemis sponsored, Scottish cyclist, Mark Beaumont’s solo cycle circumnavigation of the world.
Immediate Response by Major Mark Hammond with Clare Macnaughton was published by Michael Joseph (Penguin) on the 6th August 2009. On its second week of sales it reached number 9 in the Sunday Times Non Fiction bestseller list.
I am currently working on another book project but I am also available for freelance communication projects. Please contact me at clare@maccom.co.uk or call 07885 194188
