Director, Alison Smith
Alison’s degree in Anthropology fired up a curiosity about culture and human behaviour. She has written for titles including The Independent, The Face, The Guardian and The Herald. She promoted contemporary art at the ICA and for eyestorm.com, then honed her editing skills on The Scotsman and The Sunday Times. She launched Be Content in 2013 to deliver content with the high values of print journalism and an aesthetic sensibility. Working for strategic foresight consultancy The Future Laboratory shifted her focus towards B2B comms. Diverse brand work ranges from the global launch of Augustinus Bader high-end skincare to a website relaunch for London barristers Garden Court Chambers.
