Who we are

The proprietor and lead consultant at Both Barrels Communications is Tim Donnelly Smith. He has a degree and background in I.T. but has spent the last 15 years in technology and B2B PR and marketing consultancy.

Before forming Both Barrels in December 2003, he was a founder and director of Mental Communications Ltd, and prior to that was a senior consultant at Grant Butler Coomber (now Chocolate Communications) for two and a half years. In 1998 he had a spell working in eastern Europe for Mmd (acquired by Huntsworth in October 2006), which followed almost four years at Profile PR (since acquired by Whiteoaks).

Consultancy teams are constructed to suit the needs of the client, but with one important constant: we are all experienced practitioners, doing the work so it is done to the highest possible standard – not delegating it out to less-experienced staff.
