The real world is complex, unpredictable and often contradictory. No person, business or organisation is immune from censure; criticism can come from anywhere. Whether your communication objective is to be proactive and get on the front foot or respond to those who question what you do, both require careful consideration and management. Coppergate Communications is here to coach, support and advise.

With over 30 years of experience, Zaiba Malik understands what clear, impactful and confident communication is. As a trusted adviser and coach, she works closely with clients to support and guide through opportunities and challenges.

About Zaiba

  • "At a time of crisis, Zaiba has demonstrated she can navigate complex and sensitive matters with a strong understanding of the legal framework. It is reassuring to have her support on communications where she uses her judgement and experience such that she quickly gains the confidence of those she helps. She is calm and considered in her approach. Her media background means she is able to view problems from many perspectives which is a great help."

  • "Our team lacked the experience to articulate our vision and message for our external advocacy. Zaiba helped us to progress and aligned us on our goal, whilst coaching us on crafting compelling messages. We faced a daunting challenge: addressing over 5000 people live. With Zaiba’s help, we delivered our first captivating speech with conviction and enthusiasm, framing our views around powerful questions and today, we build on that experience."

Personable, matter-of-fact and responsive, she offered tailored advice and shared simple and relatable guidance which increased capability. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her."

  • “Zaiba was very clear in helping to engineer some important risk-management and recovery decisions inside an organisation with a complex structure and whose staff were under extreme pressure. She immediately demonstrated the professional tools to add value and – personally – worked very smartly, rapidly and assertively to win the confidence of Oxfam decision-makers.”

  • “Zaiba’s advice and support was faultless. Whilst she’d had no prior exposure to our situation, she was able to immerse herself very quickly and elicit the information required with exactitude and speed, despite the many stakeholders and parties involved. Her background as a journalist proved extremely helpful in pointing out the risks and how to avoid them, which helped us ultimately to mitigate the situation further.”

  • “At a crucial time when we needed to demonstrate the value of our complex business, the merit of the presentation training Zaiba provided was undoubtedly significant. She helped us to recognise what was important in our narrative in areas such as financial benefit, innovation and culture. She then helped us to make sure we delivered this content with conviction and commitment. Right across our senior leadership, we welcomed her ability to grasp where we needed to be and how to get there”
