Where Strategy Meets Technical Delivery

Charlie working

I'm a Marketing Specialist and an avid Technologist based in Leeds. I work best at the point where marketing meets creative digital development.

Most of my current experience involves planning and running digital marketing activity, then building or improving the tools behind it, such as websites, tracking, workflows, and systems that make day-to-day marketing easier to manage and easier to measure. I focus on things working properly, not just looking good.

Alongside my technical background, I hold an upper second-class law degree, which shapes how I think about problems: clearly defining the issue, understanding constraints, and communicating decisions in a straightforward way. My end goal is always the same, marketing funnels that are effective, realistic, and actually usable.
