Gillian Bentley, Founder
A word from our founder

"We built Wordzmiths to prove that bespoke, human PR still outperforms the algorithm."

Founder Gillian Bentley holds a Master's in English & Communications and is a published author of Managing Perceptions. Her career spans directorships at Southern Sun Hotels, British Airways and Cape Tourism — and award-winning campaigns for brands across Southern Africa, Europe and the USA.

That seniority runs through everything we do: senior counsel, a little black book of media relationships, and an instinct for the narrative that makes a brand impossible to ignore.
