Work Experience 

AE @ Jargon Group 🧑‍💻 Founder of Sweeney’s Blogs 💬 Changemaker for The Youth Group 👐 Digital Storyteller 📚

Wondered what it feels like to jump out of a plane at 12,000 feet? 🪂

I’m James Sweeney, it’s lovely to meet you! 

Growing up in the Swansea valleys, I’m incredibly passionate about people - whether it’s our culture, background, passions or the ways in which we process and understand the world around us, it’s something that absolutely fascinates me 🌍

Having gone through life as somebody with a stutter, in addition to facing troubles with my physical and mental health, one of my biggest aspirations in life is to help shape a community in which I can help as many people as possible. 

I’m a very keen writer, starting my own blog page in 2018, called Sweeney’s Blogs, where I shine a spotlight on the topics that genuinely mean something to each and every one of us as people. The page has become a key part of my life, and is one of the reasons how I found out about LinkedIn too, as it goes ✍️

I run a weekly series here called Sweeney’s Song of the Week. For these posts, I shout out some incredible people, mixing in my love for music and making the world a better place at the same time. 

In October 2018, I jumped out of a plane at 12,000 feet raising over £900 for The Alzheimer’s Society, which has to be one of the best (and scariest!) experiences of my life 🪂

Do you want to join me on my journey! Be sure to drop me a request and a message, I’d love a chat. 

Thanks for checking out my profile and I hope you have a cracking day 👋

Reizia Digital

At Reizia Digital, I work with businesses and charities in the UK and US to help them to spread their brand message, and generate opportunities through creative content and lead gen strategy.

To put it simply, I help businesses and charities grow both their online communities, and their customer/funding pipeline.

Client A wanted to drive fundraising opportunities. We leveraged company content and personal account outreach on LinkedIn - the result? 27 leads, including some from major brands.

Client B had never generated any ROI from social media activities before. So, we tell their story and explain their service provision through fun, relatable, and emotive videos alongside Facebook and LinkedIn outreach. For the first time ever - the client had a closed lead from a social media manager.

It's safe to say that no matter your goal on social (making money, driving brand awareness, or just maintaining activity) - I can help you.

So if you're bored of not seeing any tangible results through digital marketing, feel free to connect and send a DM. Let's chat.
