Public Affairs & Campaigns — London & Paris
The Prose works at the intersection of policy, public affairs and creative industries — for fashion, beauty and fragrance businesses navigating regulation, reputation and political influence across the UK and EU.
"Most brands absorb policy the way they absorb weather — as something that simply happens to them. The founders I work with discover they had far more political power than they ever realised. They just needed someone to show them how to use it."Esther — Founder, The Prose
The Founder
A bilingual professional operating across London and Paris, Esther founded The Prose on a simple but powerful observation: the most ambitious creative businesses are being shaped by policy decisions they have no visibility of and no voice in.
Her background is not in corporate administration. It is in government, politics and public affairs — environments where a missed detail has real consequences, where complexity must be held without losing sight of what matters, and where strategy and delivery must coexist under pressure.
She has managed ministerial inboxes, coordinated national campaigns, handled political stakeholder relationships at the highest levels, and briefed senior leaders in some of the most demanding environments there are. That standard is what The Prose is built on.
"Whether it's one founder across a table or a room full of people in London or Paris — the work is the same. Getting you in front of the right people, with the right message, at the right moment."
Working with a small number of clients at a time, Esther brings that same rigour, discretion and precision to the founders and business owners who need it most — getting them into the right rooms and ensuring their interests are heard where it counts.
Why This Matters
Every decision made in Westminster, the Élysée or Brussels has a downstream effect on the businesses operating beneath it — whether those businesses are paying attention or not. The brands that shape their industries understand this. They do not wait to find out what the rules will be. They are in the room while the rules are being written.
Most fashion, beauty and fragrance businesses have no one in their corner when those decisions are being made. The Prose changes that.
