About me

Specialising in the drinks, beverage, and FMCG sectors, I build global brand toolkits, high-performing 360° integrated campaigns, and pitch-winning creative strategies.
Currently, I balance my role as retained Fractional CD for start up agencies with running my independent boutique consultancy, Agency Ghost.
