MY BACKGROUNDFrom feature writing for South West News Service where I cut my teeth as a journalist, to freelance writing and editing for local, national and international mags to B2B copywriting, my background has always been about making connections. I learnt to understand audiences, deliver copy and content they enjoyed, and (latterly) edit and design pages to suit them. This approach of connections meant I had a natural affinity for marketing. So it felt like a natural fit when I got my first taste of marketing agency life with Future Content.Over six years as Head of Content and creative lead for Future Content I found a natural home to combine my writing, marketing, editing, sales, and project planning skills in one place. With Future Content I worked with 60+ ambitious SMEs to plan and deliver cohesive, robust and successful content strategies across a variety of verticals from SaaS to FinTech to, well, all manner of areas. I even dabbled in Waste Management (no sh*t).Fast forward to today where, as a Senior Content Strategist for multiple Agency of the Year winners Transmission, I'm devising content strategy for some of the world's biggest B2B brands - HP, Dropbox, LinkedIn, TrendMicro to name but a few. Transmission has offered me insight into how a fully integrated agency operates. As one of the fastest growing agencies in the world, we continue to push the boundaries of ABM, data-driven content, strategy and communications tactics. This drive for innovation has created a positively disruptive atmosphere, and I'm constantly challenged with new ideas and approaches. It's a great place to be. Outside the business, I've recently completed Marketing Week's MiniMBA with Mark Ritson, and continue to develop my skills and knowledge as a marketer beyond just integrated marketing comms. I'm also a massive lover of music and cinema, I adore cycling, football, cooking (and eating), drinking good booze and the countryside. So feel free to reach out and geek out about any of the above. I'm always happy to make connections.
