About me.

I grow businesses and build brands through insights-led marketing and digital media.

With over a decade of experience, I am currently positioned as the Operations & Performance Director at tmwi, where I am responsible for the performance and delivery of client campaigns across media.

I oversee data-driven integrated media campaigns and manage the insights and optimisations of digital channels and wider media strategy. I work across planning, strategy, and delivery, and utilise Analytics & Insights capabilities to directly influence planning and optimisation decisions.

I also work across project management and operational management, where I manage budgeting & profitability (including P&L, projections and FTE), maximising results for both agency and clients, delivering efficiencies in ways of working, and maintaining quality of output. This involves the development and implementation of guidelines, policies, processes, auditing, templates and tools, as well as closely managing projects and resource, and supporting the management of teams & workflows to achieve business objectives.

With a knowledge of marketing, media, analytics, technology, and digital activation, I am hands-on and agile when it comes to strategy, planning and building campaigns. Using this knowledge, I build reporting, develop actionable insights and implement optimisations and testing for clients, to deliver results.

I have worked with various Retail & Ecommerce, Leisure and Lead-Generation businesses, from SMEs, to household brand names and FMCGs, to deliver proven ROI and grow brands.

More recently, I have also been involved in managing various projects across automation, attribution, AI, and media mix modelling.
