Following that she travelled to the US to work as a marketing and cultural consultant on the first two highly successful UKinNY British Expo. festivals in New York. In 2001 she joined the founding team of Wales Millennium Centre where she worked as head of Media and Communications in the development years and throughout the opening phase of this internationally acclaimed project.

Angharad Wynne Marketing and Communications consultancy was formed in 2005 in response to a need for greater promotion and more creative marketing of Wales’ cultural assets, and improved communication of the Nations’ identity worldwide. The consultancy specialised in the arts, tourism and cultural sectors. Since 2016 the focus of the consultancy has moved to working on developing strategies and interventions to support and develop these sectors.


Angharad has been responsible for promoting some of Wales’s leading cultural events and cultural exports, including Bryn Terfel, Catrin Finch, and 9Bach. She also speaks widely and trains organisations on various aspects of cultural development. She regularly consults for Wales Arts International, Arts Council of Wales, Welsh Government, National Museums and Galleries of Wales and other national organisations, on matters of cultural strategy and development initiatives, and with arts organisations and festivals across Wales and the UK. In terms of cultural tourism, Angharad works regularly for Visit Wales and has worked on training and development projects with organisations as far afield as Tourism Finland, Failte Ireland, and National Park authorities across the UK and Europe.

Over the course of the past 25 years she has also worked closely and intimately with communities across Wales, supporting re-connection between people and place, through development of sense of place and regeneration strategies and initiatives. Angharad continues to work as a place making consultant, specialising in harnessing aspects of history and culture to imbue and enliven places and working with communities to re-engage them in their local landscape, cultural assets, history and stories.
 

Increasingly these days, Angharad is returning to her love of stories, nature and landscape; to writing, running retreats and pilgrimages exploring the mythic landscape, the magic of nature and living soulfully. Angharad is a published poet and author, a walk and expedition leader, a proud co-founder of The Animate Earth Collective and Director of Dreaming The Land.

 

She is happily married to Mike, mum to Myfi and step-mum to Amber. All are ably managed by Cadi the border collie.
