I'm Dara O'Hare ...

a multilingual communications consultant and a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, who has worked at a senior level in the arts, health, higher education, publishing and science for 25 years.

I offer the full range of communications, marketing and PR services to organisations large and small across the public, private and third sectors in the UK and overseas.

A trained proofreader and copy-editor, I am also available for writing and editing:

  • marketing materials

  • impact case studies

  • evidence/lay summaries

  • submissions to select committees. 

I'm happy to consider other projects that don't fit neatly into these categories, so if you have a project in mind you'd like to discuss, please get in touch via the contact page.

My portfolio page lists examples of clients and projects and my reviews page features client testimonials. 

Working independently, I have a roster of experienced and trusted designers, film-makers, photographers and printers that I can partner with on projects if you need those services but don’t have them in house.

Prior to returning to consultancy in 2023, I spent 15 years in higher education, including at the universities of Bath, Bath Spa and Bristol, working on prestigious, multi-million-pound, award-winning, research projects.

These included Children of the 90s (University of Bristol), winner of the inaugural Bristol Genius Award, and the Tobacco Control Research Group (University of Bath), winner of the European Health Leadership Award.
