Telling Stories that Inspire Action.

Connecting People to Purpose.

Making Complex Simple and Meaningful.

Because Engagement isn’t just a buzzword --
it’s the result of doing comms right.

Hi I'm Tanu

I help organisations create communication that sticks - messages that cut through complexity and truly connect with their people.

Whether it’s building internal comms from the ground up, leading transformation and system change, or creating stories that shape culture, I focus on clarity, connection, and measurable results.

My Services

Need someone who can see the big picture and get into the details to make it happen?

I’m both a strategist and a doer — as comfortable advising leaders on direction as I am rolling up my sleeves to deliver. I thrive in fast-paced global environments and small, agile teams alike. If you’re ready to bring clarity, creativity, and measurable results to your communications — let’s talk.

My journey…

My journey in communications began in India -- starting out at a PR agency before moving client-side and exploring every corner of the comms world. From running marketing campaigns and sponsorships in entertainment to driving employee engagement for technology giants like Oracle and Infosys, I learnt early on that great communication connects people to purpose.

In 2013, life brought me to the UK, where I joined Which? Consumer Association, helping build new channels and content to engage employees more meaningfully. I then spent several incredible years at Save the Children International, where I deepened my experience in crisis and change comms, digital strategy, and global storytelling — leading campaigns, launching advocacy reports, and bringing together a network of communicators across 70+ offices.

At The&Partnership, I brought all those strands together - leading communications across internal and external audiences, shaping narratives, driving PR campaigns, supporting leaders to find their voice, and advancing DE&I initiatives.

More recently, my first client through Star Storycrafters was Medivet — where I was brought in to deliver a SharePoint intranet project. I stayed on for over two years, leading business-as-usual internal communications, designing operational engagement strategies, delivering transformation comms and helping shape how the organisation connects with its frontline workers every day.

Every step of my journey has taught me the same truth: stories are everywhere — in a hallway conversation, a business transformation, or a moment of recognition. And when told right, they don’t just share information; they spark connection and drive action.
