Lynne Parker
Producing comedy is Lynne’s dream job, combining her interest in the entertainment and charity worlds with her extensive experience as a marketer.
Lynne originally trained as a journalist and spent the first years of her career writing for consumer and trade publications about fashion and beauty topics. This made way for a diversion into public relations and marketing along with stints at TV presenting for cable television channel, Living. Lynne had her own successful PR consultancy and managed many successful promotional campaigns working with well known brands like Asda, W H Smith, The Prince’s Trust, Thames Water, Hyundai Car UK, Pepe Jeans, Umbro, Nike.
Funny Women grew out of the need to satisfy clients with creative strategies. Funny Women is now expanding into the corporate sector with a bespoke programme which uses the basis of stand up comedy to improve self confidence and presentation skills for women in both their professional and personal lives.
Lynne is married with two teenage children and lives in West London. She is a member of the Certified Institute of Public Relations and was the president of Women in PR from 2001-2003.
