WHAT CLIENTS SAY

I have worked with and alongside Natalie in a number of roles over 15 years where she has displayed a high level of creativity, due diligence, and analytical thought to produce and deliver industry leading entertainment, experiential and leisure concepts. Natalie’s conceptual thinking and understanding of customer needs coupled with research skills are truly phenomenal. Her wide-ranging intellect is such that she thinks outside the box and what is delivered has been truly welcomed and enjoyed by many of our different customers segmentations. She excels in communicating with the upper division of our company along with our third-party hotel partners, to successfully negotiate, create and execute all of the creative concepts proposed. Natalie’s obvious creative flair is complemented by her demonstrated leadership skills. She works well in leading teams and becoming part of a wider project team also.

GARETH HOWELLSSenior Entertainment Manager, TUI Group

Working with Natalie at Paultons Park has always been a pleasure and a very positive experience. The standard of her work is most notable in our Halloween show “The Legend of Paultons Manor” and her influence on this project ensured it struck a chord with our family audiences. So much so that our guests look forward to watching it during our Happy Halloween event every year on multiple occasions. The attention to detail from the original brief and discussions made sure that we really had a product which everyone was proud of and was an immediate and continuous success. I would have no hesitation recommending Natalie for a creative role or working with her again in the future.

JAMES MANCEYOperations Director, Paultons Park

We loved working with Nat and can tell she has a real passion for creativity. Her knowledge and experience shines through and has been a real asset to work with. If you are looking to develop an idea, especially characters and the development of characters and mascots, Nat is definitely the person to contact!

ADAM BLAKEYOwner, Lil Beatz Ltd

I have had the pleasure of working with Miss Dawson whilst in my senior management role at the Gran Melia Palacio de Isora resort. As a third-party supplier, Natalie was responsible for the creative innovation of the guest entertainment product and programming for the luxury resort. This covered both daytime and evening experiences, combining the wellness programming and an incredible, bespoke children’s offering. All-inclusive catering for a European demographic.

Recently within my current role as General Manager at Planet Hollywood Resort, Cancun, I requested for Natalie to innovative and create a brand-new offering of entertainment programming for our brand-new family resort.

Natalie is a passionate individual with an excellent eye for the overall operation and creation of luxury resort entertainment who I am delighted to recommend and would be an asset to any company who employed her.

AMANDA DONOHUEManager Product & Concept Development, TUI Group

Natalie is one of the most talented creatives I have ever worked with. She consistently produces innovative and creative work that challenges the status quo and gets results. She has a talent for taking a business, project, or concept and turning it on its head to find a more creative and innovative way of approaching it with a clear vision and strategy.

Her understanding of working within a corporate business ensures the outcome is both amazing for the guests, and commercially viable for the business. I would highly recommend her to any business.
