I'm a marketing and communications director with 15+ years of experience helping organisations tell better stories, reach the right people, and turn that into results they can actually measure. I've spent most of my career in-house at manager and director level, which means I've seen what good strategic thinking looks like and what it costs when it's missing. I've built marketing functions from scratch, led teams, managed agencies, and delivered everything from brand strategy, new websites, and campaign planning to social media growth, content programmes, and digital channel management. I'm as comfortable setting direction as I am rolling up my sleeves on execution. The clients I tend to do my best work with are ones who care about getting communications right, not just getting it done. If you're trying to reach and engage with your audience, or launch something that needs to land with real people rather than just look good on a brief, I'd love to hear from you.
