Owner

EPR Nutrition

As Communications Director, I worked with a small team to create and introduce a new and innovative nutrition brand to the marketplace in partnership with Shaun T, a US-based fitness celebrity, famed for the INSANITY workout amongst other worldwide crazes. 

From the inception of the brand itself, I worked towards planning and implementing the logistics, PR, marketing and creative strategy for the full launch weekend across 3 separate venues in the UK. The pinnacle of these events was a live workout with Shaun T for 850+ fitness fans in Manchester on the 27/02/16 (highlights of which can be seen below).

Having full control over all social media platforms, web and blog content allowed me to use my marketing skills and experience in the fitness industry to ensure maximum customer base growth, engagement and retention. I then transformed this growth into sales revenue which increased the maximum profit potential for the business at very little cost.

Communications Director

Loughborough University

During my time on my Hall Committee, my role was to organise, promote and market the University's wide variety of charity events to both my own Hall and the wider student community.This involved everything from bucket collecting in various cities, to climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and Arctic Dog Sledding. During my year as Rag Rep, the University raised over £1,000,000 for a selection of great charities.

Rag Rep

PSCA International

I was originally hired in Delegate Acquisition with a task to ensure maximum attendance at various government reform conferences held at the Barbican in London. After two months of consistently surpassing targets I was promoted to Marketing Executive.

This promotion meant I was given my own personal event to manage, giving me full responsibility for the attendance and success of this conference. My role involved utilising my telecommunications and e-marketing skills in order to pitch the events to both public and private sector individuals in the relevant areas, and transfer these into sales of high-priced event tickets.

This was a basic + commission role and I thoroughly enjoyed having the freedom of uncapped earning potential, which solidified my love of the sales and marketing sector. The first event I managed (Health + Safety) was a complete sell-out and a great success, so it was a hard decision for me to leave. However, I wanted to further my education at University in the hope it would further enhance my skills in the industry.

Marketing Executive

CEO at Lightbulb Media | Scaling epic brands with paid ads, copywriting & content that converts 💡

It’s hard to find a marketing partner you can trust these days. The internet is filled with lofty claims from fresh faced gurus peddling "guarantees" and promises of overnight riches.

Here’s how it usually goes:

😍 Promised the world on a stick by an agency/freelancer 
😅 Locked into a 12-month contract
🙂 Handed off to a junior who can barely tie their own shoelaces 
🙃 Slowly losing the will to live as you wade through excuses for why nothing is working
😭 Patiently waiting for your contract to end so you can finally jump ship

We feel your pain. Most of our clients come to us having been burned by blaggers big & small, but we don’t blow smoke up arses here.

We've spent the last 7+ years scaling businesses just like yours through:

- Paid Advertising 
- Social Media
- Copywriting
- Content Creation
- LinkedIn Ghostwriting

Our work has driven £250m+ in attributable revenue for our clients across the UK, USA & Europe, and we won’t be slowing down any time soon.

Want to see examples? Check out my Featured section, the case studies on our website, and our Instagram Highlights where we’ve got a chunky collection of them 📈

We’re big on data here, you see.

So if you’re serious about growing online, and you’re open to working with a company who will cut the fluff and tell you exactly what you need to hear, rather than what you want to hear, then we might just be your dream partner.

We’re also all absolutely hilarious. We won’t charge you for that, though.

Drop me a DM or email marketing@lightbulbmedia.co.uk and let’s grab a brew ☕️

Solving Suicide

Suicide is something that affects us all. So, why aren't more of us talking about it?

You may be grieving someone who died by suicide, you may have supported someone who was having suicidal thoughts, or perhaps, like me, you're one of the 1 in 5 adults in the UK who has felt suicidal themselves. 

Solving Suicide is a podcast that combines lived experience storytelling with professional insights to help take the suicide conversation mainstream by making it an accessible and acceptable topic.
