Anna Marsden has guest-presented in a number of classes across disciplines such as LGBTQ+ Studies and Women’s Studies.
“Anna gave an excellent invited talk on my final year Psychology degree module on ‘LGBQT+ awareness in the Workplace’. Anna’s tone was perfect and really engaged the students. The session was informative and thought provoking and provided really important topics for discussion. Having attended various diversity training previously I can honestly say that this was by far much more engaging and relevant. I personally have already applied what I learnt from Anna’s session. Thank you Anna, we would definitely love to have you back again!”

“Working with Luminescence was made easy as a consequence of their insightful and varied journalism, an innate awareness of the audience and a steadfast commitment to hitting every deadline time and again, even when things changed at short notice. I would highly recommend commissioning Anna Lawlor and her team for similar content projects.”

“With the projects carrying substantial sponsorship revenues and including contributions from high profile figures, careful handling of contributors and commercial partners was key.
Having worked with Luminescence for a number of years the quality of writing was never in doubt – but their ability to quickly build expertise in new subject matter, and forge relationships with stakeholders, was particularly impressive on these projects.”
Andy Lee, Marketing Manager

By breaking down new concepts into bitesize and logical chucks and being so enthusiastic about her subject matter, Anna was a star trainer.”
Esther Woods, Marketing & Communications Manager
Santander“I’ve worked with Luminescence on a range of thought leadership programmes and highly recommend them. They can handle both data crunching and getting high-level interviews, and bring it all together with a clear, easy writing style.
