Who we are
Feint Praise is a brand, marketing and communications consultancy built on a simple belief: powerful stories don’t need to shout.
Feint Praise is a brand, marketing and communications consultancy built on a simple belief: powerful stories don’t need to shout.
We bring decades of experience from the charitable sector, where storytelling is used to inspire action, build trust and spark change. Now, we’re bringing that same clarity and emotional resonance to businesses – helping them connect with their people, customers and communities in meaningful ways.
We combine senior gravitas trusted by boards with hands-on delivery welcomed by staff. Our work doesn’t just shape how organisations communicate; it motivates teams, shifts mindsets and drives lasting change. Because the best communications don’t just look good, they transform how people think, feel and act.
David is an experienced communications and marketing professional with more than 25 years of expertise in brand strategy, storytelling and organisational change.
He has led creative and strategic projects for charities, corporates and agencies, helping organisations sharpen their messaging, inspire their people, and build lasting connections with the audiences that matter. Known for combining senior gravitas trusted by boards with hands-on delivery welcomed by staff, he brings a calm, collaborative approach that gets results.
Away from work, David has a few passions that keep life interesting - a baking side hustle. The Oxford Baking Club, regular Saturday parkruns (now several hundred), giving gin tastings, and long walks in the beautiful Chiltern Hills where he lives. What could be better?
