An award-winning (and losing) Content Director

After a rewarding fifteen-year career in marketing, design and comms for boutique agencies and FTSE 100 firms, I started my business, Null — a one-man content studio.

As a hands-on strategist, I plan and execute for clients in technology, consumer goods, finance and more. I've worked with household names and startups all over the world to bring their content, creative and campaigns to life.
