of online communication and Personal Branding
(LinkedIn and more).

After acquiring my Bachelor, with an award-winning thesis on innovation as the icing on the cake, I’ve spent time studying nursery. Intrigued by and learning loads of invaluable lessons from the close human interaction. Recently followed a marketing course at the University of Oxford to broaden my horizons.

Malcolm Peak

Sometimes when you seek expert advice you wonder if the solution presented is what you really need or what the service provider wants to sell.

In establishing Peak Corporate Solutions I wanted to offer something different…to work with companies needing pragmatic and practical solutions to their problems, bringing some of the best industry thinking to help them.

We’ve been very successful in this endeavour, working with a range of government and private sector organisations on their employer brands to enable them to become “first choice” employers, and advising leadership teams on how to engage their people to be productive and positive about their employment and the organisation they work with.

It’s about delivering practical people solutions to help organisations be successful.
