I launched and led a dynamic content agency that supplied expert material for a prestigious client base that included global banks and world-renowned media titles. The role unlocked a wide and invaluable range of skills and experience - from budgeting and business strategy to effectively managing and empowering our community of exacting clients and expert journalists to produce outstanding results.

Writing across the money, business and news sections of this highly regarded broadsheet newspaper, I quickly mastered the skills required to produce lively, accessible consumer-facing copy on almost any aspect of personal financial affairs to tight deadlines. With a reputation for bypassing traditional, product-led reporting to tap into our readers’ real world goals, I was awarded several industry accolades during this time and have been an expert commentator for leading broadcasters ever since.

This role demanded a wide, specialist knowledge of the personal finance industry as a foundation from which to produce intelligent, compelling articles for a highly-informed professional readership. I won several prestigious journalism awards during this time.Quickly moving to a more senior role after a brief stint as a features writer on the same title, I gained early experience in building, motivating and nurturing teams to produce industry-leading content.
