Let's get a little
more personal
Forged in Sheffield steel.
I was born and raised in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The city is famous for the manufacture of steel, being the greenest city in Europe and Henderson’s Relish. Yorkshire folk are friendly but plain-talking and I would say this describes me pretty well. From a young age I had an active imagination and was a keen writer so it’s not surprising that I ended up in a creative industry. (Oh and in case you’re curious I’m a blade, not an owl.)
Tempered in a tempest.
I was fresh out of university when my mum got sick. It would take nearly two years to discover she had a thinning of the blood vessels in her brain which was causing memory loss and fits. Before this diagnosis we completely fell through the welfare system and so I started a business, Make My Media in order to pay the bills. Starting with little more than a laptop, I built up a business over six years. I worked alongside a diverse range of clients in planning, producing and executing their marketing strategies including creation of sales materials, video production, web development and more.
Chiselled into shape.
Selling my business seemed like a left turn to everyone, but life was passing me by and working 13 hours days, 7 days a week would have led to burnout. Working with such a diverse range of clients meant that I had a strong background of hands-on knowledge as to what actions brought real results and I was keen to come up with a methodology that could apply to businesses of all shapes and sizes.
Never quite finished.
Most of my career decisions are based around what I feel I can learn. In the last 5 years i’ve specifically wanted to work with organisations who focus on process improvement and data as I felt these were the areas which could have the biggest impact on my marketing knowledge going forward. I’m always eager to learn! My ambition is to transform and scale the organisations I work for.
