CREATING POSSIBILITIES FOR THE ARTS

  • CHLOÉ NELKIN

    Chloé oversees all the company’s clients and is always on hand to offer advice and support. With extensive experience in the arts, Chloé has worked for a diverse range of organisations across public and private sectors. Prior to establishing CNC, she studied History of Art at The Courtauld Institute of Art graduating with undergraduate and Masters degrees; she now sits on their alumni board. As a trained classical singer, Chloé‘s knowledge of opera and classical music complements her passion and understanding for work in these areas. Although she can’t imagine getting on the stage herself, Chloé has always been a huge theatre fan and relishes reading new scripts. Her penchant for bubbly means that champagne corks are often popped in the CNC office.

  • OLIVIA O’NEILL

    With a degree in drama and theatre arts from the University of Birmingham, Olivia has significant experience across the arts and entertainment sectors in house, agency and at the BBC. She is a people person and her focus is working with creatives to develop eye-catching, collaborative and responsive campaigns. With a particular love for bold and quirky new work which challenges the status quo, Olivia is dedicated to elevating creative output within the cultural landscape. Her heart well and truly belongs to the arts and her passion to celebrate all work across the sector is always at the forefront. When she isn’t at the theatre, you can find her surprising friends by snapping pictures with disposable cameras or collecting newspapers to scrapbook for her bullet journal.

  • GEORGINA CARTER

    A Fine Art and English Literature graduate from Lancaster University with a Masters from Goldsmiths, Georgina is passionate about all the arts. A singer when she was younger, she remains hugely excited about performance; meanwhile, her love of fine arts is seen in her own studio practice. Georgina is a people person who enjoys engaging with creatives across CNC’s different clients. When not painting or at the theatre, she can be found with her family dog, Bailey, escaping life in a fantasy novel or two.

  • PHOEBE CARLISLE

    Phoebe has always loved the creative arts since staging mini shows on the school playground. Growing up, she always enjoyed being on stage, regularly performing with her local youth theatre in Winchester. It was when she went on to study a BA in Drama at the University of Exeter that she discovered her passion for production and organised multiple live music events and theatre shows in and around Exeter. Her experience in social media and her eye for vibrant design and catchy headlines lends itself well to CNC’s campaigns. In her spare time, she loves exploring second hand shops, discovering wacky new podcasts and attending music and theatre shows with her friends.

  • Mia Squire

    Mia’s passion for the arts stems from a young age. Whilst studying English Literature at Glasgow University, she was involved in the theatre scene as a member of the Shakespeare Society and worked at the home of Glasgow’s famous A Play, A Pie and A Pint. Since moving to London, she has immersed herself in the rich cultural scene of galleries, theatres and museums. In her spare time, she can be found scouting out local eateries, attending pub quizzes and going on runs around the city.

  • Tallulah Treadway

    Tallulah’s love for the arts began when, as a child, she found an outlet through dance and even performed in a West End show or two. After graduating from the University of Leeds with a degree in Spanish and English Literature and honing her writing skills with an MA in Journalism, she continued to enjoy exploring and celebrating arts and culture. She loves that CNC gives her the opportunity to combine both passions. When she is not in the office she will probably be found sticking random things into her junk journal or hanging out with her dog, Elvis!

  • Mia Yaffes

    Mia graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a degree in English Literature and a love for the arts. Having grown up in New York City and London, she has been exposed to culture from a young age and has been very fortunate to have watched many Broadway and West End shows. Mia enjoys the social nature of working in arts PR, especially attending press nights. In her spare time, she loves going to ballet lessons, cooking and reading.

  • Chloe Gleeson

    Chloe graduated from the University of Southampton with a degree in Philosophy and English and a huge passion for the theatre, having dedicated far too much of her university experience to the musical theatre society, where she participated both on stage and behind the scenes as a director for several shows. Chloe enjoys working with people and loves to be kept busy; when she isn’t at CNC, you’re likely to find her either watching a production in the West End or at her local cinema watching the latest film.

  • Charlotte Askew

    Charlotte’s love of the arts started with her classical ballet training, which inspired a long-lasting admiration for culture. Having read History BA at the University of Oxford and History of Art and Curating MA at the University of Birmingham, Charlotte’s solid academic foundations complement her professional career. In the past, Charlotte has worked with galleries, art dealers and museums. She volunteers as a trustee of a heritage site and frequently spends her free time visiting the latest art exhibitions, theatre and ballet, reading a lot, and ‘parkrunning’!

  • Eleanor Barr

    Eleanor has hopped between the worlds of food, film, theatre and television. She has wrangled diaries for CEOs, rolled out red carpets for celebrities and kept press offices running at full speed. Eleanor also produced a long-running cabaret night in Hackney and a digital theatre festival during lockdown, all in the name of championing bold, brilliant creative work. She brings her flair for storytelling and organisation to the wonderful world of arts PR at CNC.

  • BERNIE

    Bernie joined CNC in 2020 as Chloé Nelkin’s personal assistant. While his phone manner may be a little ruff, he is the most pupular member of the team. He is a little big for the London underground but you can’t keep a good dog down so he has an enviable WFH set-up in place. Bernie frequently does a guest turn on the company Instagram – as well as some impromptu Zoom calls. CNC have a monthly creative brainstorm at Chloé’s house with Bernie as an integral part!
