I train. I consult. Mostly, I help businesses figure out their tone, personality, purpose and marketing strategy. But I spend a lot of time writing.I'm also the co-founder. So I do all those internal, make-this-company-run things, like sorting out contracts and making sure we listen to our accountants. Show less

In my past, I got a job as a journalist and spent my days hunting for news and my evenings writing my science-fiction novel for my dissertation (which I can't look at now in case it has a typo in it). I didn't bother to sleep.What I did:- I chatted to people about their new exciting technology.- I wrote about the latest news.- I wrote about financial updates and whatnot.- I spent a lot of time learning telecoms jargon.- I spent a lot of time wondering who was really… Show more In my past, I got a job as a journalist and spent my days hunting for news and my evenings writing my science-fiction novel for my dissertation (which I can't look at now in case it has a typo in it).

Some things we do because we can't help ourselves. To the point we'll do them for free.This was one of those things. Obsessed with games and wanting to write reviews, I got involved in the university paper. I started off writing movie reviews before I eventually ended up as the Internet and Gaming Editor. (I apparently got the job because I was the only person to apply who didn't seem to fit the stereotype of a nerdy gamer.)- I wrote a lot about what games I'd been playing… Show more Some things we do because we can't help ourselves.

(I apparently got the job because I was the only person to apply who didn't seem to fit the stereotype of a nerdy gamer.)- I wrote a lot about what games I'd been playing. (Occasionally a movie.) Usually only the ones that I felt other students should play.- I had to have lots of creative meetings with editors.- I had to think about what we could do to make the paper even better.- I had to control unruly writers below me.- I had to make sure we had enough words every fortnight.- I had to write exactly 100 characters a fortnight for a special feature. Exactly. Including punctuation.- I had to be funny. (It was for a university after-all.) Show less
