Starting Out

At the age of 15, I landed my first work experience role in an advertising agency, after two weeks I had secured a second job for the summer eventually going on to join the team at Ward Lovett Advertising after finishing University.

Studying Sociology and Marketing, both at Lancaster University and Michigan State, USA - I focused my love of understanding why people behave the way they do with how to market messages to them.

Why I can help your business

Building Experience

As a natural communicator and leader, I helped to grow a small publishing house

from three employees to twenty-two.
build our monthly magazine The Skinny from two cities to six to become the third largest independent listings magazine in the UK.
to expand the portfolio of revenue generating products and platforms.
raised capital investment for digital expansion.

My role increased revenues year on year against a backdrop of the 2008 recession and declining print industry.

The business managed intensive deadline driven short-run publications, multiple digital channels, successful events and bespoke opportunities to support graduates and the grassroots cultural scene in Scotland and beyond.

Business Development

I started a business development consultancy as I love to work with people who are excited about their next steps, who can see their potential but require support and experience to guide and shape their growth.

I bring experience from a diverse set of clients, here are some examples ;

SICK! Festival on their Corporate Development, PR and Communication Strategies
Fatsoma, an app inspired ticketing platform expanding into new markets

and with an impressive consultancy

Perform Green who supports local government and large corporations on maximising their adoption of technology to deliver long-lasting positive change.

My time with Perform Green extensively increased my knowledge and insight on creating and delivering smart cities, our team worked on two of the key projects in Bristol which contributed to the city being named Smart City of the year 2017 by Huawei Smart City Index.

More than just business

Having experienced running a start-up company, I understand the ups and downs of growth. I have raised capital investment, pitching to high net worth individuals and VC's promoting the idea you believe in. Mentoring on tech accelerator programs, such as Ignite, as well as in one to one situations for professional development, has increased my awareness of complex and varied business challenges. As part of my commitment to personal growth I undertook training in co-active coaching and became a qualified PRINCE2 and Agile Practioner.

In my spare time I am a fellow of the RSA, which focuses on how to enrich society through ideas and action, and have volunteered with UN Women.

I speak publicly about networking and the media industry with appearances at the University of Edinburgh and Lancaster University, providing hints and tips for the next generation. I also contribute to panels in support of female entrepreneurs and share experience of rapid business expansion.

I am not your usual salesperson, having been lucky enough to work across multiple industries and in a wide range of roles, so I understand the bigger picture for growth and I bring those insights into every job. I ensure your business development approach is holistic.

The most important thing about me is that I work hard and can be trusted to get the job done.
