TESTIMONIALS
“Phoebe Reith is one of the most professional and effective executives I have ever worked with. Not only is she an immensely efficient and charming fundraiser, for cultural and charity institutions, but she is also whip-smart on Comms. She has a third attribute, which is not always present among development folk – she can speak to anyone, and people like her – from CEOs and Chairs to other professionals. She speaks their language. They enjoy seeing her, and she gets it. We worked together on HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant, and did something like 200 pitches together in five months, to raise £14 million. Working with Phoebe was a very great pleasure, and I don’t believe we would ever have hit our target without her.
I unhesitatingly recommend her and her agency”
— Sir Nicholas Coleridge CBE
“‘Phoebe and her team exceeded the quite challenging brief that was set for them. From the start Phoebe displayed a strong strategic understanding of Quintessentially Foundation’s mission and resources. This quickly translated into day-to-day tactical actions to support that strategy. There was always the right balance between “getting on with it” and knowing when trustee engagement was required. Phoebe is highly organised and presented each problem with an analysis, options, reasoning and a recommendation. I do not recall ever overturning one of Phoebe’s recommendations. It was very reassuring to know that Phoebe has an excellent team who were available to give support whenever required. I recommend Studio Reith without reservation.’”
“Studio Reith provided professional and pragmatic strategic advice. They got ‘under the cover’ of some of the barriers to our fundraising and how we needed to maximise our networks more systematically. The clarity of the recommendations has jumpstarted our new strategy. Phoebe, in particular, was a delight to work with. She is an astute strategist, a good listener, and an experienced fundraiser with a black book and networks that fill me with envy. Phoebe is generous with her wisdom, knowledge and insights.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Phoebe and Amelia on the 2022 Platinum Jubilee Pageant. It was a challenging project as we had just 15 months to set up a company, build a team, develop the creative and raise all the funds for the event. Phoebe and Amelia impressed me with their ability to hit the ground running and understand the complex landscape that we were operating in. They pushed the internal team to ensure that we had our partners’ interests at heart whilst maintaining the creative integrity of our event. It was great to see them equally comfortable liaising senior stakeholders as well as with the junior members of our team, and their communication style was always clear, concise and respectful. They would not shy away from difficult conversations and worked tirelessly to chase up and close deals. All of this was always done with such charm and good humour. They were a joy to work with!”
