About Our Founder
Before launching What Follows in 2022, Hannah Martin shaped the public relations and content for unicorn company Wise (Series A-E), and spent two years in strategic communications at the Westminster think tank, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. She has advised over 30 leaders across technology, politics, and activism on publicity and communications strategy.
A keen writer, Hannah has ghostwritten for notable figures - landing profiles and opinion pieces in publications such as the Financial Times, The Sunday Times, Le Monde, TechCrunch, the Observer, the Atlantic, and Vogue. She led journalist engagement for the 2026 SXSW London, booking renowned journalists from global publications including Forbes, Fortune, the BBC, the New York Times and Vogue to lead conversations with the likes of Esther Perel, Michelle Obama and OpenAI.
Hannah is driven by the desire to ensure the voices worth listening to are heard. Today, What Follows is a communications studio with strong networks across the UK, Europe, and the US. I run the business from London.
