ABOUT WILL GUYATT
Two decades. Two tracks. One very unusual perspective.I\'ve spent my career moving between senior journalism and communications leadership — and that rare dual experience is the thing that defines how I work. I don\'t just understand how to craft a compelling message; I understand what it takes for that message to land, because I\'ve sat on both sides of the story.Every week I see the pitches that get ignored and the ones that get picked up. That instinct — knowing what journalists actually want, what editors will run, what audiences will care about — is something I bring into every communications strategy I build.Over the past 20 years I\'ve worked with some of the world\'s most dynamic media and tech businesses: Meta, Future, Ziff Davis and PlaySports Network. I\'ve advised influential founders including Dr Dale Vince OBE of Ecotricity and Alexander Solomou of LADbible. Today, I lead communications at Nominet — the guardians of the.UK, where I oversee communications and media for a portfolio of almost 11m web addresses. I\'m also a regular face (and voice) in the media, appearing on LBC, BBC Radio 2 and others, talking technology, AI, gaming and social media.Whether I\'m leading a team, hosting a podcast, shaping a social strategy, or finding the story buried inside a complex brief — I love the work. Especially the bit where you embed yourself in an organisation and help it find its voice.Always open to conversations about senior communications and media opportunities.
