About me
Hi, I'm Will. I am a History graduate living in London, about to embark on 6 months living as a Porteño in Buenos Aires. I love everything related to branding, have a wicked turn of phrase, and make a mean cup of tea. Although that probably won't help me in Argentina. I'm looking for remote jobs only for over the next 6 months. Writing is my strongest skillset, but I also have experience in sales and admin and I am highly organised. I'd love to work in anything to do with my main passions; sports, music, politics or food. However I'm open to anything.

  • Cinnamon @ Off The Cuff
    Cinnamon @ Off The CuffEvent poster / Facebook banner for latest Cinnamon event. For this project I directed a vision of how we wanted artwork to Betty. Efficient dialogue and Betty's expertise in illustration birthed one of my favourite Cinnamon posters. The night itself went on to be our most successful night, achieved through further promotional tactics, efficient organisation and effective communication, on top of the initial attraction of the poster itself.

    FounderCinnamon
    Bristol, United KingdomFreelance
    Cinnamon is an events brand I run with two old friends, specialising in creating parties in unique spaces centred on unique music. My role here was as co-music director, co-artistic director, and I ran the logistical and marketing elements on my own including distribution, contacting agents, social media management, marketing, booking venues and finances. We have run over 10 events in London and Bristol, with every event selling out.

    I worked at Liberty Resourcing full time for 6 months before going travelling. Here I was brought on as a Resourcer, but quickly progressed to be a Consultant and working on projects of my own after billing £8,000 in one week. Alongside recruitment work, I was also active in helping Liberty Resourcing better market themselves online, which included commissioning a new website.
