In the past we used to advertise broad messages to broad audiences on billboards and newspaper spreads but now, thanks to the advent of PPC (pay-per-click) and social advertising, we’re able to advertise specific messages to specific audiences to achieve a much greater impact - which is where I come in. I put brands and businesses directly in front of their target audience with highly targeted paid advertising campaigns on platforms such as Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat in order to drive sales and leads.

About me:

I’m a super ambitious, motivated and dedicated business leader passionate about all things business and marketing. I get a kick out of problem solving, thinking outside the box, learning new things and creating value for businesses. I’m also an advocate for remote working, a healthier planet and a happy balance.

Whilst I have a knowledge and interest in all things marketing, I chose to specialise in PPC advertising because I see it as The Business End of Digital Marketing. So I founded Vagabond Digital to help businesses and brands put their products and services directly in front of their target audience. We use a combination of automation and brain power to successfully drive sales and leads into businesses of all sectors. We’re a little different in that we’re a remote business, which means we have neither office locations nor restrictions. This enables us to work with the most impressive talent around the globe, offer flexibility to our staff and improve communication channels - all the while delivering a premium service to our clients.

We offer flat rate fees, great value for money and a high level of expertise.

I’d love to hear from anyone interested in marketing, collaborating or growing their business. Drop me a message and we can arrange a virtual coffee chat - tj@vagabonddigital.co.uk

The books I recommend most often: 

Shoe Dog, Tools of Titans, Think and Grow Rich and for some fiction - East of Eden.

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!
