About me

Darryl is MD and Co-Founder of Hard Numbers, the AMEC, PR Moment, PRCA DARE, CIPR and UK Agency of the Year Award winning, performance-driven communications consultancy.
Darryl co-founded Hard Numbers to be the communications consultancy that clients' sales teams love. Hard Numbers marries killer creative with hard commercial acumen to deliver demand generation campaigns which drive a demonstrable return on investment. In contrast with many comms agency founders, Darryl has spent much of his career in business development and driving revenues for private, PE-backed and FTSE100 organisations.
After spending over eight years running sales and marketing for Precise (now Kantar Media), he moved into digital marketing, running the London office of a Search Engine Marketing (SEM) agency. From his work in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), he saw first-hand the power of both brand and brand search as a critical element of success for companies when transacting online, and moved into PR and communications as a board director of leading tech-specialist consultancy Hotwire.
Darryl is a Fellow of both the PRCA and CIPR and is a CIPR Chartered Practitioner and member of AMEC, but his most important job is that of father to his children, Hudson and Halia.
