Ariadne Capital is an advisory and investment firm specialising in the media, tech and communications space. It is headed by Julie Meyer, who is one of the UK’s most sought-after speakers, and who founded the influential networking company, First Tuesday in 1998 before selling it a few years later to Yazam.

Lymehound writes, commissions and edits Ariadne Capital’s flagship monthly e-journal, Through the Maze. The journal now has a subscriber base of over 33,000 worldwide, and includes successful entrepreneurs in the media and tech space, the investment community and specialist media. Lymehound’s remit has recently widened to include corporate editorial PR for Ariadne Capital and leading the development of a new interactive site for entrepreneurs, Entrepreneur Country.

What Ariadne Capital’s CEO thinks of the work:

“I enjoy working with Liz Bolshaw tremendously because she is very effective. I believe her unfair advantage comes from the fact that she is an entrepreneur, a publisher, an editor, a writer, and a communicator all rolled up into one. She brings an edge, and spots opportunities earlier than others. She is leading the development of Entrepreneur Country Online, and delivers an outstanding Ariadne Journal – Through the Maze – monthly. She also helps me spot and seize media opportunities for Ariadne, our portfolio and investors.”

Lymehound created a clean and effective logo, ensured the company had a website presence and put together a three-month local advertising plan. Druid & Savage specialises in providing environmental removal of gardening, food and light scrap to high standards.

“We, as a business, are in our infancy, the encouragement and support that Lymehound has provided to us is far and away above and beyond the call of duty and certainly the amount they charge. Liz and Sarah are the most down to earth, hardworking, motivated and professional people to work with. I have no hesitation in saying that the success, so far, of our business is mainly due to their vision, charisma and shear enthusiasm. They are incredibly well connected and their business contacts are legendary and they are incredibly unselfish in sharing them with their clients. This is a great opportunity to say a huge thank you to them both.”
