Employment History:

I’ve been very fortunate to work on some fantastic projects in my career, from the first global Facebook campaign with some guys in a share-house in Palo Alto, to running digital & social for the the World’s biggest entertainment launch 3 years in a row, to working with some of the World’s biggest athletes. I’ve met some incredibly talented people along the way and helped to build many high performing teams. This is where I have served my time, starting with the most recent tenure:

Freelance & Consultancy:

Some of the agencies, brands, consultancies and production companies I have been working with recently:

 

Key Clients:

Like most I started my career focused on a few key accounts, namely O2, the BBC and Mercedes-Benz, but after that I have mostly worked broadly across an agency’s diverse client portfolios. At times I have specialised in verticals, specifically Gaming & Entertainment and also Sports. This has given me the ability to interact competently at C Suite level but also understand the detail of the day to day. I’m used to talking and operating competently on the specifics and nuances of one industry and having to jump straight into another and so forth. I’ve also worked in many complex cross-agency & multi-stakeholder structures. These are some of the clients I’ve enjoyed deeper relationships with:

 

Key Market Experience: 

I have lived and worked in the UK, Australia and Qatar. I have in depth experience working across Europe, Asia Pacific, Oceania and The Middle East. I’ve also produced a lot of work for North America and shot campaigns all over the World.
