The Forward Thought Story<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”29px”][vc_column_text]I have specialised in Research, Strategy, Innovation & Insight for 20 years and have a career spanning the media industry. For over 10 years I\u2019ve worked in large corporations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most recently at Hachette UK (home of JK Rowling) as Group Insight & Innovation Development Director where I created an Insight department and have embedded the use of data and research across a business of multiple brands and imprints. I also set up and ran the CRM team and worked on wider strategy projects & new product development with a particular focus on digital.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

Prior to that I was at EMI Music as Global VP of Insight working across all their record labels integrating Insight and data across 27 countries. I have also worked in research agencies and was a founder of media research company Media Lab Research sold in 2004 to FDS Ltd.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

My teams have won awards, innovated and facilitated true use of data & Insight within businesses that are traditionally led by gut instinct and creativity.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

Forward Thought has been set up to enable all businesses to access expert level advice across Insight, trends and innovation programmes that often remain behind big company walls.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”56px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”138″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” qode_css_animation=”element_from_right”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_image=”162″ z_index=””][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”166px”][vc_empty_space height=”166px”][vc_empty_space height=”166px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

  • Louisa is utterly brilliant. She is smart, innovative, creative, go-getting and efficient. Honestly - I know that's a long list of dazzling skills - but she really does deliver and in a way that carries people along with her. Oh yes - Did I say that she is also the funniest person I've ever worked with? Damn I miss her.<\/p>

  • I worked closely with Louisa during her time at Hachette. She is a dynamic and creative colleague - lighting a fire under projects she is involved with and inspiring the people who work for and with her. She is an enormous asset to the projects she works on, getting straight to the heart of issues and working through them at a ferocious speed, adding value as she goes. She is also huge fun to be around.<\/p>

  • I worked closely with Louisa for nearly 6 years. She established and then ran a new Insight function for us from scratch - developing plans, strategy and communication around this major project. She is a high-achieving senior leader and was really excellent to work with - full of great ideas and also able to implement them brilliantly also.<\/p>

  • I have worked with Louisa for more than 10 years, both at EMI Music and Hachette Livre. I can only recommend her great professionalism, power of persuasion and capability of bringing to life new projects based on data and insights. She\u2019s developed a strong data analysis and insight culture in both companies. It has always been a pleasure to work with her, I\u2019m glad we\u2019ve been able to join our forces on ambitious international projects. Hope we can work together in a near future!<\/p>
