Hactar is a digital agency with a commitment to social good. We specialise in strategy and discovery, websites and digital products, and transformation for social change, working solely for organisations making the world a better place.As MD, I oversee the growth and strategy of Hactar, as well as managing internal processes, income, team management and new business.I lead all client services and project manage our projects, ensuring we're creating beautifully designed, robust and user-centred websites and digital products, on time and within budget. I also lead on strategy, supporting clients to plan their digital needs in line with their organisation's objectives. This could be within a build project to make sure the product is having the biggest impact it can have within its timeline and budget, or as a separate piece of work to help our clients get senior buy-in, set budgets or roadmap their coming year(s).Recent projects (and some that I just think are really great) include Homeless Link, Rape Crisis England & Wales, Open Ownership, ODI, Big Society Capital, The Economist Educational Foundation, Global witness and National Literacy Trust.

As Head of Delivery, I oversaw all projects and was the main contact for our clients. But it was much more than project management - I aimed to give every charity or social enterprise we work with added value in communications, content, strategy, innovation and insight.Hactar is currently working with Ovarian Cancer Action, National Literacy Trust, Burnett News Club, New Philanthropy Capital and loads more.

This senior role focused on strategy and digital delivery to increase brand recognition and income in line with our organisational strategy. Working closely with marketing, data, PR, corporate, events and major donor, I developed processes, content and infrastructure to deliver integrated campaigns and communications across multiple channels.Key to this was a story-led, mobile-first website and payment gateway, which launched in September 2016 along with a refresh of brand, all content, our flagship fundraising product and e-commerce. I introduced digital transformation, which focused on increasing awareness and income, but also opens the door for revolutionary digital services for homeless young people.
