Gabrielle Shaw

Spear’s Review

Gabrielle Shaw set up her firm, Gabrielle Shaw Communications, in 1997 to focus on reputation management for brands and people. The award-winning agency has since worked closely with clients, often as lead global communications adviser, and for boards, family offices and entrepreneurs. Innovation is crucial, she says, as is insight into true business value and global consumer temperament.

‘We are at a crossroads where most of our clients are rethinking what is important and what legacy they will leave,’ Shaw explains. ‘A theme we are seeing among HNW clients and businesses is an increasing need for advice on how they can use their wealth and platform to shape global conversations, and effect the changes they want to see in the world.’

Adviser Profile

Gabrielle works with entrepreneurs, business leaders and intergenerational family businesses to articulate their visions in the most compelling way. She is equally adept at communicating with top-tier business writers as well as arbiters of taste within the global style and luxury arenas. Frank yet approachable, Gabrielle is a trusted adviser to clients, media and the wider luxury industry. She sits on the advisory board of a number of fast-growth start-ups, arts institutions and is vice chair of a Canadian education foundation.

Gabrielle has worked for some of the world’s most influential business leaders, including a number in the Sunday Times Rich List. Working across founder-led brands within the U/HNWI landscape, Gabrielle’s ability to be ahead of wider themes and conversations sets clients up as visionary thought leaders beyond their sectors. The agency has global thought leadership briefs under its remit, working with international financial institutions to create strategies and programmes that deepen relationships with clients and generate deal flow and commercial outcomes. They have a strong track record in retail, and an award-winning sustainability practice is leveraged by clients for legacy and philanthropy. Adept at working with names that court media attention, Gabrielle Shaw Communications (GSC) has worked with VIP-founded brands including Renais Gin, created by actress Emma Watson and sibling Alex, building founder and corporate profiles to support fundraising and expansion.

GSC’s clients are long held, and GSC is a go-to adviser for many top PE, VC and law firms in the UK and US. The agency frequently works with UAE family offices advising on UK market entry for business portfolios. Clients have the benefit of handpicked network of global teams through GSC and partners.
