Rowena has always been driven by creative work’s ability to inspire change. She has spent many years working with charities and NGOs, and loves the challenge of translating complex and nuanced issues into bold and impactful campaigns. Rowena is also a passionate documentary maker, with a particular interest in stories that explore identity, and political and social issues. As Catsnake’s Creative Director, she ensures that all our creative work resonates with its audience, with a keen eye on craft, story and emotion.

“Nothing makes me more hopeful for the future than working with clients who all know they can make the world a better place.”

Kris earned his storytelling stripes in accounting.

Even numbers tell a story – and Kris’s stories are written in statements and invoices. Working in accounting his whole career, Kris has always had an interest in creative charity work because he loves to pay it forward. Outside Catsnake, he serves as trustee for two charities in the creative sector, Open Door and Iris Theatre, plus several other entertainment clients.

As CFO, Kris oversees the financial health of the company, monitoring all business activity and serving as our resident tax expert.

Kris is proud to be a storyteller with a cause because:

“It is great to know the work we do is making the world better. I am passionate about equality and anything we can do to address that means a great deal.”

Jo earned her storytelling stripes in multiple languages.

Where the client meets the creative is Jo’s happy place - in any language. Fluent in French, Italian, and Dutch, she’s travelled the world seeking adventure and making friends everywhere she goes. Jo worked in Amsterdam as a Strategic Planner for advertising, communications, and non-profit agencies, bringing people together and helping them find their voice.

As Creative Project Manager, she manages multidisciplinary teams to deliver projects on budget and on brief, sharing her sense of humour and clarity with clients and colleagues alike.

Jo is proud to be a storyteller with a cause because:

“A brand is more than a logo. Stories are at the heart of everything. It's what people connect to, and it's nice to know what we do makes a difference."

Thea earned her storytelling stripes in music and writing.

Helping others tell their stories has always made Thea’s heart sing. Whether working with composers to put lyrics to their music, or facilitating workshops for NHS staff to process their working narratives, she is driven by a desire to articulate each beat and land every feeling.

Before Catsnake, her extensive work collaborating with writers and performers in various creative fields led her to hone her skills with a Masters in Writing. As Copywriter, Thea crafts compelling writing for Catsnake and our clients, translating stories into music for your ears!

Thea is proud to be a storyteller with a cause because:

“A good story, well told, opens up minds and lets ‘them’ become ‘us’.”

Natasha earned her storytelling stripes in marketing.

Raising awareness for charitable causes, especially environmental ones, has always been important to Natasha. Before Catsnake, she studied marketing and management, learning to leverage her communication skills to make an impact. At Catsnake, Natasha uses her creative flair to share thought-provoking content across our website, newsletter, blogs, and social media.

As Marketing & Client Services Executive, she analyses and improves marketing performance, supports pitches and events organisation, and serves as our sustainability representative.

Natasha is proud to be a storyteller with a cause because:

“The power of persuasion that underlies marketing and communications should be used for good. I’m delighted to work with clients that genuinely make our world a better place.”

Armanpreet earned her storytelling stripes in film production.

Armanpreet puts her legendary ninja abilities, especially her elemental control of technology and time, to use on film sets and in the office. Before Catsnake, she studied film with a focus on producing, where she learned to coordinate stunt scenes and child actors as well as wrangle budgets and schedules.

As Senior Creative Project Manager, Armanpreet deftly manages the needs of projects, clients, and colleagues with a masterful magic touch.

Armanpreet is proud to be a storyteller with a cause because:

“It's so rewarding to see the final product of a creative piece that leaves an impact. Being able to put meaningful stories at the heart of our work is incredible.”

Sarah earned her storytelling stripes in children’s television.

Before joining Catsnake, Sarah was Head of Production at 2 Sides TV. Her experience managing projects through from first creative idea to final broadcast makes her the ideal person to hold a bird’s eye view and keep every project under her wing. Thankfully, she has worked with wildlife, puppets, green screens and – the hardest of them all – humans, so she’s perfect at facilitating our diverse teams to work together seamlessly and produce the highest quality projects.

As Managing Director, Sarah oversees all aspects of Catsnake’s day-to-day operations, from organising resources through diaries and budgets, to maintaining relationships with our clients, and making key decisions for the entire team.

Sarah is proud to be a storyteller with a cause because:

“Every project is totally different, but they all require the same care and precision, and importantly - they all matter".

Shenley earned her storytelling stripes in teaching.

Nurturing connections is Shenley’s favourite subject. Prior to joining Catsnake, she taught in both primary and secondary schools before embracing various development roles in the third sector, including with JustGiving and Pilotlight. She is all about growing relationships, both at work and while volunteering - from building a soup kitchen to running marathons for charity.

As Head of Client Services, Shenley is the first point of contact for all new business. She facilitates proposals, pitches and presentations to showcase our services, and convenes regular events like the Legacy Roundtable.

Shenley is proud to be a storyteller with a cause because:

“I get to witness the impact of our collaboration with inspiring charities and the work that they do. Who wouldn’t be proud?”

Stephen earned his storytelling stripes in writing and producing.

Sharing his knowledge - as a screenwriter, producer, and film industry researcher - has guided Stephen’s career, whether he’s writing for international publications, teaching at various film schools, or pursuing innovation in third sector storytelling. He has written scripts for Radio 4, puns for The Sun, workshops for storytellers and lectures for film producers. He has also shot people in love, in the air, on the beach and on fire (although not at the same time).

At Catsnake, he is driven by a desire to understand what works and what doesn’t, constantly evolving his expertise in how to use storytelling to create positive impact.

Stephen is proud to be a storyteller with a cause because:

“I have seen how much people can do to change the world when they are unified behind the same story. I want to help find and craft the next set of narratives which make a difference.”

Ed earned his storytelling stripes in directing and visual effects.

As both a CEO and a film director, Ed is driven by vision. Before founding Catsnake, he brought the magic to movies. In the visual effects department for Harry Potter, and as the director of his own international award-winning short films, Ed honed his imagination and leadership.

Now he focuses his creative eye on our film sets and his mission for the company, overseeing business strategy and guiding the team to achieve our desired outcomes.  

Ed is proud to be a storyteller with a cause because:

"I feel immensely lucky (and privileged) to be able to use my creativity to make a positive impact on the world. It's an amazing feeling to know that our work is contributing to something bigger than ourselves."
