Louise Chandler-Rutt developed a love of storytelling from a young age – transfixed by MTV music videos as a young girl! (think: Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson and more!)

This love of vivid imagery, songs and stories led her to walk in to a radio studio at 16 years old as a volunteer and start her long love affair with radio broadcasting!

University came and went (yes, she has two degrees) and then she landed the job she always wanted: producing TV and radio programmes for the BBC.

Interviewing, researching, presenting, producing, recording, broadcasting live programmes and more – she loved every moment. Until redundancies came and Louise faced a decision: stay where you are or move on to something new.

With the help of The Prince’s Trust Louise launched Soundbite Media at the age of 30.

Now a Chartered marketing communications specialist with 23+ years’ experience across journalism, broadcasting, PR and marketing communications Louise loves working with clients to upskill and empower with practical, real‑world insight.
