UK CONNECT
Relevant Marketing Experience
An Experienced Marketing Manager with a proven track record of delivering integrated campaigns across digital and offline channels. Known for creating high-impact, data-driven marketing strategies that drive engagement, expand audiences, and deliver measurable results.
I bring a hands-on background in campaign execution, having started my career as a web developer before moving into email marketing with publisher Wiley. My hands-on experience means I craft GDPR-compliant and accessible campaigns that consistently outperformed industry benchmarks. For example this year, I grew a niche architect and fire engineer database from 43,039 to 71,534 and increased CPD completions by 35%, directly contributing to a 5% year-over-year rise in specifications and securing a 28% market share on the RIBA platform.
My expertise spans:
- Strategic Planning & Budget Management (AAT Accountancy Qualified)
- Digital Advertising & Analytics (Google Ads, Analytics & Bing Ads Certified)
- Design & Video Production (Adobe Suite: Illustrator, InDesign, XD, Lightroom, Photoshop; filming, editing, scripting)
I’ve led campaigns for organisations including the NHS, the Natural History Museum, the Professional Footballers’ Association, and various government departments, engaging MPs and Ministers in high-stakes initiatives.
Hopefully you can see from this video and this specialised landing page, I go above and beyond with my campaigns. I’m particularly interested in working with UK CONNECT as it seems there are big plans for the organisation and you are only just getting started…

Case Studies
Launched over 100+ Trade Products
New products were often brought into the portfolio within short time frames. The projects included creating the product packaging, the manuals and campaign artwork. I also managed the go-to-market strategies creating videos, photoshoots, web development and getting them adopted by chains like Toolstation and Screwfix. I managed international distributors campaigns, from Brazil to Hong Kong providing custom packaging for distributors.
SEO Friendly Product Videos
Created videos for SEO to increase on-page time. It also helps customers in the buying process. Also by creating two sets of videos one for each product and one for the knowledge base training videos we increased product spend, due to proper procedures, being followed, i.e. preparation materials being used and more sales due to more prepatory products being used.
Video Production
Knowing our audience was key in creating a series of how to guides for concrete repair systems. By creating simplified how to videos we saw an increase in sales as it meant trade users did right preparation at each stage. Which also improved product performance and reputation of the tradesman and of our products.
CAD Interior Videos
Created 2D CAD drawings to enable 3D walkthroughs for our tenders. These helped secure new business and stepped up our game in terms of visually showcasing what our sites could look like and create more aspirational visuals as well as make it clearer what clients could expect from working with Pabulum Catering. 20+ new sites launched, securing bids and retention through CAD videos, working with brands like Grumpy Mule to increase average spend.

App visualisation
I created this concept app video to get buy in from our suppliers, customers and the company board to gather feedback and test the concept. I created the visuals in Adobe XD, and it enabled the team to get buy in and progress the project.
