About

A Digital Marketing Specialist and Consultant with a track record of owning end-to-end strategy, budget, channels, influencers, reporting and optimisation, with and without agency support.

I’ve driven measurable results such as improving influencer CPM from $14 to $9.33 year-on-year through continuous data-led optimisation, generating 12M views and 14,000 downloads for a $110,000 spend in 2025. I’m currently working in marketing for game developers B2C while also building and applying a B2B marketing strategy for a SaaS business targeting local government, with a strong emphasis on conversion optimisation.

In 2024 I founded 76 Audio Ltd to prototype an audio-processing tool for people with hearing or processing difficulties, sparking valuable user-driven learning about product-market fit and stakeholder management.

Since 2022 I’ve led Digital Marketing for GameMaker (Opera), managing a £240k annual budget end-to-end, forging creator partnerships, and coordinating cross-functional campaigns. I’m passionate about credibility, community growth, and delivering measurable outcomes.
