Hey, I’m Annelies James founder of 22Midnight.

I help organisations communicate with clarity, creativity and purpose. Whether that’s through powerful visual content, strategic storytelling, training and facilitation my work is all about creating meaningful connections that inspire action.

For more than 20 years I’ve worked across marketing, videography, branding, heritage, regeneration, tourism, business development and community projects, helping organisations tell stories that resonate, build trust and make a lasting impact.
