Digital Data-minded Marketeer.

Modern marketing is about

knowing your audience.

Growing up I always loved stories – so in my career, I’ve tried to do the same. I like to turn a brand into a story that other people are telling. That means finding out what customers need, creating the narrative and then telling the story in the ways they want to hear it.I’ve spent my career working to develop and implement marketing strategies to engage with niche audiences that are often hard to target and even harder to engage with.

I’ve found that by utilising big-data platforms and personalised marketing automation, I can identify audience segments, and then tell them the story of a brand, encouraging their engagement with the various products and brands I represent. This has seen me building websites, developing large-scale social media campaigns, creating and deploying content marketing strategies and even trekking around the country exhibiting at events.

Marketing - EMEA

2024 – Present

I’m currently focused on building the NewStore brand across the European market and position it as the leading Omnichannel retail technology provider.

Marketing Director

2021 – 2024

I built the NCG brand into a leading connectivity and IoT provider to businesses across Europe. Focusing primarily on lead generation and brand building, we focused on building the business into a truly multinational provider.

Marketing Manager

2018 - 2021

I developed Switchee, a startup in the social housing technology space, into the leading IoT provider for social housing. This involved growing and developing the company’s brand identity, creating and then deploying the national marketing strategy and continuing to accelerate growth through multi-channel content production and lead generation.

Marketing Associate

2017 - 2018

I was responsible for building Home Made, a property tech startup, into a recognised brand in the UK rental market. I developed and deployed the strategies and systems to optimise marketing spend for maximum impact. During this time, I developed the brand strategy, built the corporate website and property search functionality and matured their marketing funnel to accelerate key growth metrics.

Content and Social Media Marketing

2016 - 2017

To facilitate the creation of the brand new Proagrica umbrella brand, I moved into the position of Content and Social Media Marketing Executive to help create and deploy a large-scale content marketing strategy, initially aimed at generating brand awareness, and maturing into providing leads for the high-value data, analytics and integration products.

Marketing Assistant

2015 - 2016

Initially I worked as a member of the Farmers Weekly team, with a wide remit from creating and placing adverts both in print and online, to data-based projects and eventually social media and nurture programmes. I redesigned the Farmer’s Weekly media centre, developed a comprehensive content marketing strategy, developed a customer profiling system and helped develop their events marketing strategy.
