I've 'grown into' my ears, I promise...

I’m a former journalist and editor who spent almost two decades in newspaper and magazine production.

I won a few awards and had far too many laughs and drunken nights out with too many brilliant, clever people to mention.

But in 2017 I realised the newspaper game was up, so ran for the hills and wrote a book, before turning my attention to marketing content, websites and brand design.

I’m a lover of honest, authentic and believable written content in an age when consumers have never been more aware of, and less likely to engage with, the poorly executed drivel I constantly see swilling about online.

I love dynamic website design, but it has to be design that's uncomplicated, uncluttered, responsive and puts the user front and centre.

And, of course, I still love print. Because a well-designed printed piece of marketing collateral, just like a newspaper, can have a massive impact.

So, what makes me different to that agency that's about to invoice you for a small fortune?

Firstly, you'll only deal with me. Which is just easier, isn't it?

And secondly, I apply a newsroom approach to the websites I build, the content I write and the brand collateral I design.

What does all that mean?

It means I work quickly, efficiently and to a standard that's so high, it's borderline annoying.

And the process we go through will be fun, too. Because that should always be the case.

All of that was instilled in me during those 20 years of putting newspapers on news stands.  

Because when was the last time you saw a newspaper with blank pages?
