Clarify your value. Communicate it with confidence.
I help purpose-led organisations understand what makes them valuable
and communicate it clearly to the people who matter most.
If your organisation is doing important work but you're struggling to explain what makes you, or your service, different
then my Communications Health Check is a great place to start.
SKILLS
MESSAGING & POSITIONING
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
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.
STRATEGY
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.
STRATEGIC CONTENT & STORYTELLING
I help organisations translate complex ideas into compelling stories that connect with the right audiences. From thought leadership and campaign narratives to website copy, reports and editorial content, I create strategic content designed to strengthen positioning, communicate value and build credibility.
About Me
I'm Ellie Weehuizen, founder of Ellie Jane Comms. (Lessons on how to pronounce my surname are available on request!)
I'm a communications consultant, strategic thinker, enthusiastic question-asker and firm believer that every organisation has a story worth telling. The trick is working out what that story is – and finding the right way to tell it.
With over 18 years' experience in communications, I've worked across a wonderfully varied mix of sectors, from ethical travel and sustainability to food, drink and cultural institutions. I've helped organisations find their voice, shape their messaging, build their reputations and connect with the people who matter to them.
What connects much of my work is a curiosity about people, businesses and the ideas behind them. I love getting under the skin of an organisation, joining the dots and finding the things that make it different. Sometimes that means challenging the way things have always been communicated. Sometimes it's about making something complicated feel refreshingly simple. And sometimes it's about uncovering a story that was there all along, just waiting to be told.
I bring strategic thinking, creative ideas and a healthy dose of common sense and calm to everything I do. I enjoy working collaboratively, asking the questions others might not think to ask and helping people feel more confident about what they're saying and why.
I'm particularly drawn to organisations with a beating heart – those doing interesting or important things and wanting to communicate them with greater clarity and confidence. If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
Outside of work I love to travel and you'll often find me in my campervan. I have a sausage dog called Nelson, who is a Very Important member of my wellbeing team. And I enjoy a glass of wine or two with view.

Tourism Declares said:
"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."
