This is us.
Nice to meet you!
OK then, this is about to get awkward. You see, we’re really good at shouting about our amazing clients and spreading word of how great they are. But if we’re honest, when it comes to ourselves we get all shy and retiring, like a toddler who’s just met a new friend for the first time.
Don’t worry though, we’ll be running round, drawing on your walls in no time.
SHARP was born in 2018 when Katy Moody, a PR manager of more years than her youthful looks suggest (she paid me to write this), decided she was sick of working in agencies that were only interested in the big clients with the big bank accounts.
She loaded her worldly possessions into a rag on a stick and headed out into the world with one purpose, to create a professional agency that helped every business, no matter how big or small. Our clients range from big ideas that need help getting off the ground, kitchen startups and small businesses that are looking for the next step, all the way through to established companies and multi-national corporations.
We’re proud to be a key part of the marketing strategies that have contributed to their success, and we would love to help you wherever we can.
Katy.
Managing Director
“I once cried at a bolognese because it was so nice…”
Katy is the driving force behind SHARP. After leaving university with a degree in PR she was offered a position at a number of agencies in the North East. Fast forward five years and she had progressed to management level, working with her team to meet the marketing requirements of a number of well established businesses. But it wasn’t enough.
Katy’s belief is that any business should be able to access the help they need to grow, no matter their size. She decided to head out on her own and set up SHARP.
After the initial rigours of creating a business from the ground up, yeah Xero we’re looking at you, word started to spread about what she was doing. Over the last few years SHARP has grown, alongside our client base, with numerous success stories to show along the way.
Back to Katy though, let’s not steal her limelight by crowing about ourselves! She is also a huge lover of all things Beyonce, would happily eat only bolognese for the rest of her life, and can often be found spontaneously dancing or singing in the office. One of her greatest achievements is performing a perfect rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody start to finish, oh and ask her to do her Gwen Stefani impression. We hate to admit it’s actually pretty decent.
Molly.
PR Assistant
“Long-life milk is just not for me”
Molly is the social media whizz here at SHARP Media Group. You’ll never see a better Instagram story, Reel or Tik Tok when you have Molly on your team.
After completing a degree in Media and Journalism at Northumbria University, Molly worked as a freelancer for a number of different businesses around the region before we managed to steal her away and release her social media super powers on our clients.
If you’re looking to get ahead on Instagram, begin selling on Facebook or stand-out on LinkedIn then Molly should be your first port of call. She’s also recently begun taking over Sharp’s social media training sessions, helping businesses from all across the country to create successful social media plans.
She makes the team laugh every day with her wit and impressions, can compare any situation to a moment in a film and can recite The Grinch word-for-word – we dare you to ask!
As the only tea drinker in the office, she’s also on a personal mission to get through a pint of fresh milk a week by herself to save on wastage, so if you ever pop in to see us, help Molly out and have a cuppa.
Matt.
Operations Director
“I cheated my way to a Guinness World Record…”
SHARP began life as a one woman adventure, but with the speed of growth we’ve seen, it wasn’t long before another pair of hands was necessary.
Enter stage left Matt.
Matt brings with him over 18 years of creativity, honed and developed in his career in the media industry. A radio presenter by trade, you may have heard him as one third of the Capital North East breakfast show, or currently you can catch him on the BBC across the North East and Cumbria. He also spends a lot of time hosting sporting occasions and events across the UK, although we think this is mainly because he loves a free meal.
The values that SHARP operates by are right up Matt’s street, he loves helping anyone and everyone, and loves nothing more than putting a smile on people’s faces. Yeah sure, sometimes it would really help if he’d crack on with his work instead of trying to make people laugh, but our office is always a happy place as a result!
Matt also runs SHARP’s successful podcast, ‘Do You Wet Shave Your Balls?’ which aims to get men talking about stuff they don’t usually talk about.
He’s also a long suffering Newcastle United fan, a DJ with a penchant for Motown, and a massive fan of sandwiches for lunch. He believes there is no better meal.
