ABOUT ME
I'm Ellie Weehuizen, owner of Ellie Jane Comms. (Lessons on how to pronounce my surname are available on request!)
With an impressive track record spanning over eighteen years, I've honed my expertise by constructing creative communications campaigns for both private and public sector organisations. My secret? I combine a powerful set of strategic skills with imaginative and innovative thinking.
My journey began in the fast-paced world of a corporate PR agency, and I swiftly transitioned to in-house communication roles for SME businesses. From promoting ethical travel to collaborating with renowned cultural institutions and curating experiences in the realm of food and drink, my professional career has been diverse. What unites my experiences is my unwavering pursuit of clients and organisations with a beating heart, a strong purpose, and a genuine desire to engage in meaningful business. Want to know more?

"Ellie has been a total star building and co-leading our outreach team at Tourism Declares. She's been instrumental to us developing a content strategy, has done remarkable work on delivering our outreach for new members, and has been a pleasure to work with throughout, giving freely of enormous amounts of energy and insight to help us develop our growing initiative in this most challenging time.
As a result, we have had an amazing year, and it wouldn't have been possible without her."
SKILLS
Clear messaging is the foundation of effective communications. I work with founders and purpose-led organisations to define what they stand for, sharpen their positioning and develop strategic messaging that builds trust, differentiation and long-term reputation. From audience insight and key messaging to narrative development and communications planning, I help create clarity that drives every aspect of your communications.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Powerful relationships
Strong brands are built through strong relationships. I help organisations communicate effectively with stakeholders, partners, employees and audiences through thoughtful engagement strategies and clear, authentic communications. Whether building partnerships, managing internal communications or strengthening external reputation, I focus on creating meaningful and lasting connections.
Communications should support business goals, not just fill channels. I develop strategic communications approaches that align brand, reputation and audience engagement, helping organisations communicate with greater consistency, confidence and impact. This includes communications planning, stakeholder messaging, thought leadership and reputation-focused strategy.

MESSAGING & NARRATIVE STRATEGY
Every organisation has a story. The challenge is telling it clearly, consistently and in a way that resonates with the people you want to reach.
I work with founders, SMEs and purpose-led organisations to define what they stand for, uncover what makes them different and develop messaging frameworks that bring their story to life. Through workshops, research and strategic thinking, I create the narrative foundations that underpin everything from websites and thought leadership to stakeholder communications and campaigns.
Rather than jumping straight into content creation, I help organisations answer the bigger questions: Why do you exist? What do you want to be known for? What change are you trying to create? And why should people care?
Together, we'll build a clear narrative that gives your communications direction, consistency and impact.
Typical outputs include:
-
Brand narrative frameworks
-
Messaging architecture and message houses
-
Vision, mission and values development
-
Brand and organisational positioning
-
Key messaging and proof points
-
Audience-specific messaging
-
Stakeholder communications frameworks
-
Brand story development
-
Communications audits

Communications should support your business objectives, not exist as a standalone activity.
I help organisations develop practical communications strategies that build reputation, strengthen stakeholder relationships and support long-term growth.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP & STRATEGIC CONTENT
Good content doesn't just fill channels; it builds credibility, trust and influence.
I help leaders and organisations identify the stories worth telling and turn them into high-quality content that supports business goals. From long-form thought leadership and reports to website copy and campaign narratives, I create content that positions you as an authority in your field.
Examples include:
-
Thought leadership programmes

Articles and opinion pieces
