About Me

Hi, I’m Simon. I’m a freelance marketing specialist who helps small businesses get noticed, stand out, and turn interest into customers.

I’m glad you’ve landed here — it probably means you’re curious about how I can support your business, and that’s a good place to start.

What I bring is a mix of strategy, creativity, and problem-solving. I like to step back and see the bigger picture, then roll up my sleeves and make things happen, whether that’s through planning, design, or hands-on delivery.

I also know no one can be an expert in everything. So when a project needs something outside my lane, I bring in trusted professionals I know and work well with. That way, you get the right skills at the right time, without the overhead of hiring full-time staff.

My Approach To Work

  • I listen first, then plan.

  • I don’t try to do everything — just the things that move the needle.

  • I deliver what I say I will (no empty promises).

  • I keep you in the loop — transparency matters.

Core Skills

Strategic Campaigns & Brand Development • Marketing Leadership & Team Mentorship • Digital & Content Marketing Excellence • Data-Informed ROI & KPI Tracking • Budget Planning & Optimisation • Agency & Stakeholder Collaboration

Why I Do This

I believe good businesses with good people deserve marketing that works, not just flashy ideas that look nice on paper. I’ve always been passionate about marketing, and I get a real kick out of helping others grow, succeed, and get results they can see.

Outside Work 

When I’m not working on client projects, you’ll usually find me writing and composing music (sometimes for events and adverts). My boy band dreams are long gone, about as likely as a lottery win —about 4 million to 1. 

I also have a dog named 'Hector' and a jumping spider called 'Doris'
