About Me

I’m a Brand & Digital Marketing Lead and Creative Director with 25+ years’ experience helping organisations strengthen their brand, improve their digital presence and generate consistent enquiries.

I’ve worked with global names including Jaguar Land Rover, PepsiCo, 3M and Fujifilm — and with SMEs and growing businesses that just need clear thinking and reliable delivery. I combine strategic marketing thinking with hands-on execution, which means things get done faster, more consistently and with a sharper commercial focus.

What I’ve Delivered
  • Jaguar Land Rover: Started with one division and grew to eight — outperforming their global agency through speed, accuracy and genuine brand expertise. Their internal teams would bring creative work to me for approval.
  • International Taste Solutions: Helped build a business from a hotel lobby conversation into an international food ingredients company operating in 13 countries.
  • RSA Security: Named Global Agency of Choice — their SecurID technology was integrated into enterprise systems at Microsoft, Cisco and IBM, and I created the creative programmes that supported that adoption.
  • Global brands: Delivered brand, campaign and digital work for PepsiCo, 3M, Fujifilm, Stryker, Fresenius and Codelocks, among others.
  • Built brand systems that let internal teams maintain consistency without ongoing agency reliance.
