LoveBrum

LoveBrum is a Charity.  It reaches out to local Birmingham-based projects that are delivering real change to our already-beautiful city.  Once it finds these projects, it profiles the same and then ask its members to vote on which projects they want to see funded.  

Together, we have so far supported local projects ranging from volunteer/family-led counselling projects dealing with stillbirths and neonatal deaths, to school projects that engage with intergenerational activities within local care homes, to local street-clean-up and soup kitchen campaigns.  

This aside, LoveBrum is a movement for a better Birmingham.  We want to celebrate all that is good in this city and in doing so, hopefully restore some real civic pride.

There are plenty of ways to get involved, so please head over to www.lovebrum.org.uk to find out more.  

Birmingham, let's do this!

Board Advisor

Lightbox Digital

A transformative journey, imparting robust skills in leadership, talent development, and strategic decision-making. I learned to assemble and lead high-performance teams, fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.

Driving the agency's growth, I gained a hands-on understanding of the nuances of digital marketing across various sectors. I developed an acute eye for identifying opportunities and trends in the digital space, creating effective strategies that helped our clients stand out and succeed in their markets.

The experience also honed my operational management skills, from budgeting and resource allocation to project management and client relationship building. I learned to balance the demands of day-to-day operations with long-term strategic planning, continuously striving for efficiency and excellence.

Additionally, the experience instilled in me a strong sense of resilience and adaptability. In the ever-evolving world of digital marketing, adapting to new technologies, industry trends, and client needs was a constant requirement.

Overall, the journey was enjoyable. A true lesson in building, scaling, and then re-purposing a business.  It has equipped me with a comprehensive skillset and a rich perspective, which I am excited to carry into my future endeavors.

Advisor to the Council 

Marketing Expert | Passionate Philanthropist | Former Lawyer | Working Out What's Next 🤘

I would like to think that people will remember me as a nice bloke, who did nice things.

And those nice things are:

- Talking. Think Radio, TV, Events, Podcasts, Lecturing, etc.
- Charity. No one has ever become poor from giving.
- Birmingham. I'm proud to consistently champion this city.

And those nice things were:

- Marketing. Web, digital, social media.
- Law. I genuinely still can't believe that I was an actual lawyer.
- Consultancy. Non-Exec. Board Member. Advisor.

And I've done a lot more bits and bobs.

My main focus currently is:

Radio and broadcasting with the BBC.
Hosting and public speaking through my own business.
And charity (which will always be voluntary).

But I can always do some of the other bits if you think I could help you.

PJ Ellis

I love a challenge.
The bigger, the better.

And now I’ve set myself a new one:
Fill Millennium Point for Wit + Grit.

I’m no event expert.
But I do know how to graft.

And I’m lucky to have a brilliant network.
The kind that shows up for the right reasons.

Because this isn’t about numbers or ego.
It’s about creating a day that genuinely helps people.
A day that leaves people walking out a little taller than they walked in.

Big challenge.
But I like my chances.

After realising that male modelling wasn’t my true calling (I know, shocking, right?), I decided to pivot into something equally glamorous—digital marketing. And it’s been quite the adventure!

I’m an entrepreneur at heart, with a drive to push boundaries, especially in AI, automation, and search marketing. My journey in the industry dates back to the early days of the web—yes, some might call me prehistoric (ouch!)—but that just means I’ve seen it all! Over the years, I’ve worn many hats, from business development manager to web designer, and now I proudly hold the title of founder and CEO at Bootcamp Media, a multi-award-winning digital marketing agency.

At Bootcamp Media, we’re all about setting trends. From SEO, PPC, and CRO, to AI-powered marketing automation, we know how to use cutting-edge tech to deliver results. AI is changing the game, and we’ve embraced AI strategies to streamline workflows, improve performance, and drive business growth.

I’m passionate about education and love helping businesses utilise AI tools to make smarter decisions and automate repetitive tasks. It’s an exciting time in tech, and I enjoy guiding companies through this evolving landscape.

Here’s what we can do for you:

👍 Review your online marketing strategy.
👍 Assess your website’s performance, with a focus on AI-driven CRO and automation.
👍 Identify areas where AI and automation can generate leads and help scale your business.

We offer a free initial consultation, so you’ve got nothing to lose—except the chance to transform your digital strategy.

Beyond Bootcamp Media, I’m the CEO of Phoenix Business Club, where I bring together business owners across the Midlands to share ideas, make connections, and grow their ventures. Collaboration is key to business success, and nothing excites me more than fostering growth in the community.

I’m also the founder of The Young Leaders Club CIC, where we focus on developing young talent. By providing mentorship and leadership opportunities, we empower the next generation with the skills they need to thrive.

And yes, I’m a bit of a sci-fi geek—Star Trek, Star Wars, and Back to the Future are my favourites. So, if you’re a fan, let’s connect! Or if you’re ready to level up your digital marketing, give us a call at 0121 630 2350.
