About me
I am one of the strange ones. A weird combination of creative, business and strategy; with a passion for taking on the impossible tasks and turning them into success stories.
My specialities are: Marketing, Advertising, Social Media and some Insight Strategy. I have had experience and success with turning agencies around creatively, and with leading companies forward from a strategy and marketing perspective.
I believe in ideas, because ideas can change the world.
