Kelly Hodgkiss
Kelly is a co-founder of We Are Intertwined CIC, which developed from recognising that many people still struggle to afford media services and understand what type of media they want and need.
The CIC focuses on workshops designed to help people develop and articulate their real stories — not marketing or PR narratives, but the core story at the heart of what they do.
Drawing on a background and master's level education in both media production, media law, business planning strategy, and brand management, she enables a bridge for a common knowledge gap in voluntary services.
“People often don’t know what type of media they need, whether they need a marketer, a social media manager, a filmmaker, a content creator — or why,” Kelly explains. “Our consultations, workshops, and training help people understand the different types of media support available and how to choose what’s right for them.”
