Hard-working, motivated creative professional, with a wealth of experience in delivering comprehensive strategies and outstanding end results to high-profile national and international clients - backed up by a wide range of hands-on skills, field knowledge and internal/external team management proficiency. I excel in problem-solving, envisioning prospective solutions at pace (along with any associated positive or negative outcomes of different pathways), and producing laudable creative results under pressure. I proactively drive creative discussions, meetings and tasks forward through strategy, planning, design and production phases, in order to obtain results at the point of final delivery that sit above and beyond the originally established project ambitions. I have continuously set hard but achievable targets and pushed myself, and each member of any relative assembled team I am managing, to produce work of the very highest quality in all aspects.Having worked within the marketing industry since the late 90’s, I have been fortunate enough to produce work for, and consult for, a distinguished line-up of national and international clients, across a broad spectrum of industries. This includes such well-known names as Experian, Thomson Directories, Gillette and Universal Studios, leading to industry awards, as well as being featured in various industry press articles.I have also been drafted in to assist several notable public sector, NFP and charitable organisations with their brand, design and promotional marketing needs, and had my services employed by various respected creative and brand agencies residing across the UK.In addition to the above I have also held a position lecturing to degree, HND and ND students across an array of digital studies. Further down the line, I was invited to be part of Huddersfield University’s validation panel for a proposed new degree qualification. I am a former member of the Gerson Lehrman Group's Media Council and a business coach. Since 2013 I have been consciously active in charitable efforts to assist and raise awareness of, homelessness and poverty within my local area. The work I have carried out so far was officially recognised in 2017 when I received a community “hero” award. My marketing knowledge has played a vital role within the campaigning aspects of the charitable work, as has my pitch and client communications work functions, in areas such as applying for funding or meeting with high-profile figures e.g. local MPs or Police Commissioner, various members of the media etc.
