	About Us > People Laura Wilkinson | Director of Genderquake Laura Wilkinson joined Genderquake as a Director in the spring of 2004. She has an honours degree in English and a post-graduate journalism qualification and specializes in the creative industries. Laura has enjoyed a varied working life so far, with careers in publishing at Reed International, as an actress in theatre, television and film, as a part time researcher at the independent think tank Demos, as a copywriter specialising in work for charities and the third sector, and as co-founder/writer of a new Genderquake story telling website, hagsharlotsheroines.com. This project celebrates the lives of ground breaking women, from history, legend and myth, and aims to encourage genderquakers to develop their researching, writing, creative and IT skills, while simultaneously contributing to an archive of female lives. At Reed, Laura was responsible for the overall management of projects conceiving, creating and producing corporate literature for a wide range of blue chip companies. At Demos she worked with the Directors conducting research for articles, speeches, and reports and developing research projects. She was very closely involved in Demos’ flagship research programme, the Seven Million Project, which explored the values and attitudes of younger generations, and she conducted research on work/family issues, as well as co-organising the 1997 Tomorrow’s Women conference. She also wrote a chapter, The Mother’s Tale, in Demos’ publication, Family Business in 2000. As a copywriter Laura has produced fundraising literature on behalf of a wide variety of clients, including Save the Children, Shelter, Barnardo’s and Cancer Research UK. She worked on the award winning ICFM & Professional Fundraising Awards campaign for pioneering charity, Medecins sans Frontieres. Laura has also written for a number of publications, including regional newspapers. Her portfolio career has equipped Laura with a broad range of skills. Her strengths as a writer include the ability to capture the essence of a brief accurately, concisely and with considerable flair. She is an efficient, self starter with a resourceful and quietly confident style. Laura is an experienced project manager through her work at Reed and Demos and has recently added website design and build to her portfolio. She managed the creation of hagsharlotsheroines.com, as well as the current Genderquake site, working closely with designers, illustrators, technical experts and publishers. She has developed marketing materials to accompany these two new sites and has close contacts with a wide range of accomplished creatives, support staff and printers. A creative and positive thinker Laura brings another dimension to the work and services that Genderquake offers and looks forward to helping take Genderquake into the next exciting phase of its development.
