Clare has worked in-house for the BBC and for large communications consultancies. She has a wide-reaching client experience, mainly on business-to-business accounts, including Brother UK, Shell Global Solutions and Norwich Union.

Clare has also worked with CMMC (Central Manchester University Hospitals Foundation Trust) on a communications audit, website and branding project and can count the National Council for Work Experience, Harvey Nichols, Birmingham City and Whitbread among her consumer portfolio. Not only will her experience be fantastic for our current client base, but we’re also busy with new business opportunities in some 'new to Unique' sectors so she can take the load off me a bit!

Expert in media relations, campaign planning and strategy, Clare is extremely hands-on for a senior consultant, utlising her considerable skills at all levels of a campaign. She’s not afraid of hard graft and is quietly determined to get the best possible outcomes for her clients – and there are many who’ll testify to that!

Clare lives in South Manchester, and she enjoys exercise (her yoga fad is over, she's now moved onto kick-boxing!), is a reluctant snowboarder and enjoys cooking and eating out.

Nicola Appleby, Director of Client Services

Over its 15 years in business, Unique has often provided research, insight and intelligence for clients, whether large-scale stakeholder studies or insight work for social marketing projects.

Now, that experience has been formalised with the introduction of Unique Research, which is being assisted by Market Research Society professional, Laura Adams.

Laura will have a day-to-day role on major projects, and also act as a consultant to ensure methodologies are sound, and learnings have genuine value, not just ‘nice-to-know’.

As well as highlighting research, www.uniquecc.co.uk outlines other Unique services, and introduces key staff. It is the result of a three month project which has seen Unique re-evaluate its ‘shop window’.

Director of Client Services Nicola Appleby said: “Our clients’ businesses and organisations are evolving in these changing times. And we’re doing the same.

“We delighted to have research as an official part of the ‘stable’, and to have highly-experienced research professional Laura Adams working alongside us. The new website is the perfect showcase for this, and our other marketing and communications services.”
