NARDA SHIRLEY
Narda founded Gong to offer clients an alternative to the classic big agency network model. She has more than two decades of experience building reputations at start-up and multi-national level and is still very much involved in client strategy. Gong’s early growth was enhanced by its effectiveness in building challenger brands and raising the profile of serial entrepreneurs, many of whom have been clients more than once. Now Gong’s corporate communications focus offers many opportunities for clients in the fields of professional and financial services, infrastructure and real estate, energy, agribusiness and technology. Narda’s proudest business moment to date was driving her tiny electric car through the gates of Buckingham Palace to meet HM Queen Elizabeth II when Gong was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2014.
