I live in Fulham with my kick-ass wife and my fluffy cat Felix 🐱
* btw, I am a permanent resident of the U.K. and have the right to work 🇬🇧

PLACES I'VE CRUSHED IT AT WORK
I’m a passionate and driven storyteller with a wealth of creative and strategic experience in content, brand marketing, eCommerce, marketing (B2C and B2B), SaaS, and technology.
Throughout my career, I have developed high-quality content, using a balanced creative and analytical approach to exceed benchmarks and KPIs. Content marketing is about storytelling – and I keep that at the centre of every idea – but I use insights and data, digital trends and social chatter to ensure the content will always genuinely resonate with our audience.
Let’s go!

With the priority to boost the company’s organic traffic and inbound leads within the B2B furniture and hospitality industry, I manage all aspects of content marketing, brand marketing, including crafting a brand voice and identity, and inbound marketing with one direct report.

Hand-picked as a technical specialist and art director, worked alongside the Marketing Director and agency partners to plan and execute the groundbreaking launch of Canon’s new mirrorless line, EOS R.

A FEW THINGS I'M PROUD OF
Sink your teeth into some of my professional highlights
I have led content production in a range of formats (long-form, CRM/eCRM, rich media, print, etc.) for digital, social media and traditional marketing tactics as part of large-scale integrated campaigns and functional SEO-driven strategies.
Within content marketing roles, I’ve also functioned as a brand manager and guardian, ensuring brand excellence and championing brand salience internally and to customers.
- Relaunched Canon Canada’s student program growing memberships from 100 to 1000+ within six months using only organic tactics.
- Managed a team of fourteen direct reports producing high-volume SEO content (monthly average of 50k words for Zenfolio/Format).
- Transformed content strategy at Zenfolio attracting the highest organic search traffic in company history.
- Led content strategy and production for Canon Canada’s email program generating $6.6M+ in revenue (2021).
- Developed and implemented a new brand voice and messaging guidelines for leading photography websites (Zenfolio and Format).
- Played an integral role in the content, communications strategy and production for Canon Canada’s groundbreaking product launch (EOS R5 and R6).
- Doubled organic trial-to-paid subscriptions YOY (2021 v 2022) for Zenfolio.
- Photographer for Apple Canada (iPhone 12, iMac, iPad Pro).
Of course, in content marketing, data is as essential as creativity, and it is a critical part of content development and optimisation to ensure the message resonates with consumers.
Now more than ever, it’s important to be human too. That’s why I take pride in constantly striving to bring optimism to company culture, to empower colleagues, inspire others and be a driving force for creativity and exceptional work. I’m approachable, reliable, and collaborative – I know I would be a valued team member.
