About me

Online Creative Director at O2 (Telefonica UK) and here is my intro:

Digital is proving to be the most exciting multi-platform marketing tool of the 21at Century. We now know that it is not merely another string to a brand's bow, but an entirely separate marketing platform from which to launch brands and companies. This means that we should no longer be selling digital solutions, but whole digital strategies that guarantee a company or brand's long-term growth.

As Head of Digital / Creative Director, I have inspired, devised and implemented holistic, agile, digital strategies that follow three basic principals:

1. Believe in the combined power of the brand, customer insight and.business value

2. Don't restrict ideas by other people's solutions; be bold, continually push the boundaries

3. Be Agile, solve problems through rapid visualisation development

Through this approach, I have won digital design awards, brought in new significant clients through pitch wins, and turned around a failing department.
