Managing Director and Communications Consultant

The name, Hey Me, symbolises a classroom full of kids where one is jumping up and down in their seat, trying to get the teacher’s attention. It reflects our dedication in helping you get your brand noticed by your audience.

‘Hey Me’ is also a play on my name, if you say Amy really fast you end up with Hey Me.
