About me
As a multi-discipline Editor, Publisher, Journalist and Copywriter I create the right strategies and copy to connect with target audiences. I have worked on a wide range of projects across the fields of Journalism, Marketing, PR and Digital Marketing with different objectives. I launched The National Student in 2003, and successfully brought a print version of the publication back to market in 2016 after a 6 year absence out of print. I have also launched products from a CD compilation, and digital travel guides to careers advice guides for careers advisors and websites. In 2012, I authored ‘The Student Manual’ a student advice book for Haynes Publishing. I have worked on editorial and marketing campaigns with a diverse range of companies including Spotify, the National Apprenticeship Service, KFC, the Greater London Authority, the National Careers Service, National Express, Generator Hostels, the Russian Tourism Board, Credit Suisse, Lidl, Download Festival, Universal Records, STA Travel and Tesco. I have a wide knowledge of established and developing content platforms, marketing practices and digital marketing techniques including SEO, social media and web-advertising to create bespoke content solutions for individual campaigns.
