OneFiftyNine creates compelling content for its clients that helps them engage more effectively with their customers. As an experienced marketing communications consultant working with the team at OneFiftyNine, I've helped clients of all shapes and sizes, across a broad spectrum, of industries develop and implement multi-channel marketing programmes that consistently deliver a high ROI. I've worked with global organisations such as 3M, IBM, Halifax, De La Rue, Marriott and Philips; I've worked with challenger brands like Cass Business School, Fresh Student Living and Fine & Country. I've also worked with many small dynamic companies with great business propositions - companies you may never have heard of, but have great stories to tell.

How do I work? Experience has shown me there are three key steps to a successful marketing communications campaign: insight, ideas and implementation.Insight:No matter how creative your ideas or how much money you look to spend, without a clear and genuinely compelling proposition to offer your market, you’re wasting your money.Ideas:Truly creative ideas are hard enough to come by. But what’s even rarer are creative ideas that are both relevant and transformative. They need to change the way your customers look at and interact with your brand.Implementation:It’s the mission critical part of the process, and it requires both drive, attention to detail and the ability to never lose sight of the bigger picture – however, multi-faceted and complex the campaign.This three-step approach is central to the way I work - either on my own, as part of my own team or as part of your team. Whatever’s the best way to deliver you the results you need.

Response is a media and marketing agency focused solely on property and related clients - companies like Allsop, CBRE, Audley Retirement, Together, Signature and many more. My role within Response was to help develop unique propositions for our clients in a largely undifferentiated market and provide the rich content (copy, video, imagery) that helps demonstrate that proposition. In addition, 25 years of project management experience enabled me to manage complex programmes and projects - online and offline, so as to minimise unnecessary client involvement in the detail and to ensure deadlines were met and objectives achieved.

Southwark, London

Merged Enhance with this London-based full-service agency. As one of the Managing Partners helped to build the agency to 50 strong with some great brands such as Samsung, Telegraph Media Group, Cass Business School, The Spirit Group, Scalextric, Cap Gemini...Plans to float the agency on AIM were curtailed when a large client defaulted on its debt.

Mortimer, Reading

This was the first company I set up with my business partner. A very exciting time as we built a 12 strong Marketing & PR agency, with £million+ fee turnover, that specialised in business-to-business clients. Significant wins included IBM, 3M, De La Rue, Sandoz, Systems Union, Oxford Instruments and Phillips. At the end of our first year we were nominated for 'Best New Agency' at the PR Week Awards.

I was brought into Hyde & Partners by Dow Chemical who wanted to consolidate their European plastics business in one London agency. At the time I was managing the Polyurethanes business within another London agency. Hyde & Partners were awarded the Polyurethanes business on the understanding that I came too!! Most of my time at Hyde & Partners was spent developing the Dow Account (the agency's largest account by far) but I also brought 3M, Sherwood Medical, Sandoz and Wellcome Diagnostics into the agency to offset the dominance of Dow. I progressed from Account Manager to Director in 4 years as the agency grew into one of the UK's largest b-t-b agencies.

Amersham, Bucks

I was recruited as a product manager for the company's range of diagnostic kits. I had specific responsibility for the launch of new products across my region whch included the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Far East, Indian Sub-Continent and South America. I developed marketing programmes to support the launches and provided training to local sales teams and agents for the new products. It was an exciting but exhausting time, living out of a suitcase for 6 months of the year.At Amersham International I worked closely with an advertising and marketing agency and decided that this was what I enjoyed doing most. Hence my switch from client-side to agency in 1988. No regrets at all. I felt at home in the agency world from day 1.

Royston, Herts

My first job. I spent the initial six months learning the business and was then sent off to Eire for 4 months to uncover new business opportunities. It was a time when technology was taking off and US companies were establishing manufacturing bases in Eire. From there, I was sent to Lyons (France) for 3 months to support the opening of a new office. Back in the UK I was given a sales territory (everywhere north of Northampton and South of Scotland) and a Ford Sierra. I travelled 1000 miles a week before deciding that my future was in marketing!
