Meet Comet Comms

Laura Haley Carlin

I believe in the power of stories to forge connections, make people feel seen and build lasting engagement.

My story started when Halley’s Comet was overhead as I was born. Now, after a career spent driving communications strategy in-house and in agency, I’m channelling my sharp ideas, creative thinking and brand savvy into solving marketing communication challenges.

I’m driven by collaboration, empowerment and advice. I started Comet Comms in part to chart my own course. But also, to help like minded professionals get the best out of their marketing.

My mission is to address the practical challenges of clear messaging, consistent branding and effective communication strategies, in a way that fosters trust, builds strong relationships and engages authentically with audiences.
