The decision to take the leap and set up my own consulting business in the social media and content space was an easy and difficult one simultaneously. Going out on your own is always a little scary, particularly when you're giving up a position leading digital at a fast growing business that you truly believe in. However I recognised a gap in the market for a no-nonsense specialist that cuts through the red-tape and buzzwords. Businesses are sick and tired of being treated like a pay check, of paying big agencies huge sums to deliver surface-level campaigns that never get to the core DNA of the brand. This is never more evident than in the luxury space, which is where I do a lot of my work - how can an agency who do most of their work for soft drink brands and furniture companies even begin to understand the subtleties of your nuanced product, without chewing through your retainer hours studying it? I've worked across an array of the most respected brands in the world, ranging from fashion businesses to international alcohol brands and retailers, so I'm able to cut through a lot of the legwork and customise a strategy based on any business priority or budget.I'm a big believer in putting the story first. Because in today's crowded digital marketplace, the easiest way to get attention is to tell them a good yarn. Inform them. Entertain them. Dazzle them and tell them a story they won't forget, through whatever channel will best reach them. And if that all seems a little intimidating, give me a call.
