I am a Google certificated digital marketing strategist who takes a data-led approach to design multi-channel online marketing campaigns for top brands and advertisers.

Currently, I am working as an independent freelancer for some US brands where I look after the company's ROI on the digital space.

Over a span of 5+ years, I have worked with a number of local and international clients belonging to FMCGs, Insurance, Retail, Manufacturing and Investment sectors. 

My specialities include Display, Search and Video advertising along with Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat) and trafficking platforms such as DoubleClick Bid Manager (DBM), Xaxis Programmatic and Eskimi DSP. Besides this, I have also worked on multiple tools like Google Analytics/Firebase (website/app analysis), DCM/Sizmek (campaign management) SocialTools (social listening) and DMP usage/integration (mainly Oracle BlueKai). I am also adept at SEO and SEM integration alongside deploying an e-commerce strategy. To add, I am trained and well-versed in offline media planning and buying strategies as well (both ATL and BTL).

I’m a firm believer that every child should enjoy school. And that it’s possible for every child to enjoy school. It’s just a matter of discovering what kind of school works best for your child.This belief has led to two businesses:💡 Minerva Virtual Academy: An online independent school for 11-18-year-olds🦉 MVA Tutors: A world-class homeschooling &amp; private tutoring agency for 5-18-year-oldsKeen to learn more?

It's MVA's 5th Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 

Five years ago, a lot of people told me this would never work.

That an online school couldn’t be a real school.
That parents wouldn’t trust it.
That regulators wouldn’t allow it.
That happiness and rigour couldn’t coexist.

I heard it all.

But I was determined to try. To create a school for the children who had been let down, cast aside, or quietly harmed by a mainstream system that didn’t support them.

Because “one day it might get better” isn’t good enough when you’re a child living it now.

So we started small.

3 employees.
10 students in Years 9 and 10.
A handful of tutors helping out.

No hype.
No blueprint.
Just belief.

Fast forward five years and Minerva Virtual Academy (MVA) has:

• 220 employees across 8 countries
• 180 fully-qualified world class teachers in our faculty
• 1,400 students across 60+ countries
• Educated more than 2000 happy students 

We’re fully accredited and approved by the DfE, Ofsted, COBIS, ISA, and work with more than 50 local authorities around the UK.

We’re the first online school to provide the Duke of Edinburgh’s award.
The first online school to have their principal recognised by the HMC.
The first to be part of BSME.

In the last year alone, we had 18 in-person school trips (including our first residential), 8 in-person family days across the UK, Spain and the UAE, 40+ after-school clubs and enrichment activities, GCSE outcomes and SEND outcomes well above national averages and fantastic university destinations for our leavers.

But none of that is what matters most.

It’s the daily messages from parents saying,
“Thank you for giving us our child back.”

The messages from students saying,
“You gave me my happiness back.”

We’ve become more than a school. We’re a community. A movement. And that is what makes me the happiest – and most motivated – CEO in the world. And that's why I'm so grateful to all our amazing teachers, mentors, and HQ staff for getting us here. 

To our parents and students:
We know we can do better.
We know there is so much more to improve.

And I hope you know this:
Listening to your feedback, admitting our faults, and constantly iterating is exactly how we got here in five years.

Just imagine where we could be by our tenth birthday.

And to those who doubted us – or still do – I forgive you 😉

It is a pretty mad idea when you think about it.

But we’re not going anywhere.

🎂 Happy 5th birthday, Minerva Virtual Academy.

I get a lot of testimonials from parents, and they are always moving. But this message I received over the festive break took the (christmas) cake 👇

“Hi Hugh, I didn’t want to bother you at Christmas but something big has happened. 

My son joined MVA in year 10 in December after 4.5 years out of education with multiple, multiple failings on the part of the local authority and several settings. 

He hasn’t wanted to celebrate Christmas for years as he didn’t see anything to celebrate. 

This year he has been doing his computer science work during the holidays as he wants to earn a commendation, and I have just found him sitting at his computer wearing a Santa hat. 

A small thing, but SUCH a big thing. I feel like my lovely boy is coming back to me and I’m just sobbing in the kitchen. 

Thank you to you and all your staff for daring to be different and for making a difference. Wishing you the best Christmas with your family.”

This is the difference we make.

Yes, we can get your child’s grades up.
Yes, we can get their attendance back up.

But the most important thing we do, that we will always do, is happiness. 

Children deserve to be happy.
