About me
I'm a freelance digital and social media strategist, creative lead, content editor and journalist, with over 10 years of experience working with global brands and start-ups, content marketing agencies and print/online consumer publications. As a creative lead, strategist, editor and copywriter, I've provided services for b2c and b2b brands including Google, YouTube, Victoria's Secret, FedEx, hush, Barclays and Virgin Media. As a lifestyle, culture and entertainment journalist, I’ve written for numerous print and digital titles including Stylist, The Guardian, Bustle, Refinery29, Empire and The Gentleman's Journal. Previously, I've held senior editorial positions including Senior Commercial Editor at Gentleman's Journal, Editor at Virgin TV Edit and Social Media Editor at FHM.

  • FHM Man Food
    FHM Man FoodSpotting the trend for BBQ food well ahead of the curve, I signed up Christian Stevenson (A.K.A DJ BBQ) for a monthly FHM magazine column and regular digital content on FHM.com. The project was a huge success, with Christian now working with a number of major food brands and the #FHMManFood hashtag engaging thousands on social. I championed food as key new vertical on FHM, reflecting changes in modern men, and what they want in a lifestyle brand.
