"Hilary Kelsh is quite one of the most professional, creative people I have ever met in the business world. As a marketing person she has always understood the role of the media, and I have always had pleasure dealing with her when writing about businesses she's been involved with. As a business development person, I've seen the companies she's worked with prosper from her creative ideas and obvious enthusiasm. She's also one of the few people I've met who possess an intellect capable of marrying both the conceptual ideas involved in the complex world of digital business, with the commercial realities."

“Hilary’s practical business development consultancy gave us the tools to assess our current efforts and organise ourselves to a new level in line with our ambitions.  One thing I liked about Hilary's advice is that it is tailored to your organisation - your size, history and plans - so although we weren't interested in some of the traditional tools of bus dev, she still helped us to find approaches suitable for our industry and the relationships we like to have.  Most of all, her undentable enthusiasm and passion for the subject made the whole process more fun and impactful, not to mention reinvigorating our energy for business development!”

“Hilary and I met over 5 years ago when E-consultancy was being founded. She wrote one of our first, and most popular, guides (The Business Development Guide, for UK digital agencies) published in 2003. We chose to work with Hilary because of her in-depth knowledge of the UK digital agency market, her wide range of contacts, her reliability and commitment, and her sheer enthusiasm!”

"Hilary helped our clients brush up on their negotiation skills in an easy to digest, informal way. After just a few hours in this interactive workshop everyone went away with practical tools to improve results in their businesses. One participant commented that 'Hilary was spot on, a good choice'. Another used her tips and hints to help with some personal negotiations which goes to show that good negotiation technique is a core skill that once mastered can be applied an all areas of life."
