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 ☕️

Managing Director

Moscow for Pleasure

Guitarist and keyboards

"We are old and we are new.  When you get to a certain age, you seem to become invisible. The high street stops catering for you, and the music industry stops providing music for you.  It’s always nice to watch pretty young kids singing about teenage angst and rebellion but their life experience lacks the depth and realism that years of 9 to 5 brings to most of our lives. That’s where we think we come in.  We aim our music at the 30 upwards bracket just by living in the same world that they do.

Our lyrics are succinct and have bite. We relate to the market that still buys recorded music, still buys downloaded music and goes to concerts and has spending power.  Moscow for Pleasure is a five piece with a big sound. A defined melodic groove coming from tight bass and drums overlaid with crunching guitar and keyboards, supporting the powerful yet subtle voice of Keiran Moses. 

Rather uniquely, we played together in our early twenties and exactly the same line-up has now reformed with new material.  We were not musically mature back then and our lyrics lacked depth – not everyone matures at the same speed.  Since then, each member has seen life as it is and the roller coaster ride endured makes us who and what we are.  We're not wet-nosed puppies, we're experienced and it takes a lot to impress us, so we work hard and know what to listen to and what to discard. We may not be long in the music business but we're seasoned in life.

The band has worked with a very impressive musical support team including two well-known and highly successful music producers, Stuart Colman and Stephen Harris.  Between them they have worked with acts as diverse as Santana, U2, Kodaline and Kaiser Chiefs to The Shadows, Shakin' Stevens to Kate Bush.  Stuart is immersed in the music business in New York whilst Stephen works from his home in rural East Yorkshire where he mixes and produces for all the world's major record labels and has won a number of Grammys.

Strawberry

Brand Ambassador

Having run a VERY successful, always profitable and leading Creative Marketing agency in Yorkshire for the last 27 years, I’ve built up a detailed knowledge of numerous industry types.

I’m very experienced in all forms of marketing and digital is a speciality.

It’s my mission to support the boards, the management team and the shareholders of businesses across The UK and Europe.

I focus on what the businesses are good at, really good at and what maybe they shouldn’t be doing.

I help build value through helping the business leaders focus on what’s REALLY important. This approach builds long term, sustainable businesses that are profitable, have good and happy clients and customers, a repeatable sales funnel and a workforce that is dedicated to the organisation and its strategy

I only like to work with organisations where I see I can make an impact.

When I’m not doing this I like to keep my Spanish fluent and my golf handicap just right!


Building relationships that last

Strawberry was established in 1993, and since then, we have grown to become one of the region’s leading full service marketing and web design agencies with a team of Nearly 40 talented individuals.

Our roots are in the city of Hull, yet our client base reaches far and wide to include a diverse range of public, private and not for profit organisations.

The Strawberry mission statement is to ‘listen, think, create and achieve’ and by doing so, we put our clients at the heart of everything we do. This is why we deliver first rate projects and build strong, lasting relationships with all of our customers, each and every time.

I’m a failed popstar!

But I’m a great agency coach! I sold my £2m agency seven years ago, and since then, I've been creating superior opportunities for my clients. 

Taking them to places that they never reach on their own. 

All my clients have grown - some doubled, some tripled, and most award-winning.

When I finish working with them, they’re happier, confident and wealthier. 

This is the most rewarding work I’ve ever done. Other being a popstar!
