About Me

Strategy-first.
Results-driven.

I'm a digital marketing professional with an MSc in Digital Marketing (Distinction) from Oxford Brookes University and a background spanning agency leadership, freelance consulting, and entrepreneurial venture-building.

I co-founded MarkApex — a digital marketing and branding agency in Oxford — delivering 40–50% organic traffic increases and top 3–5 Google rankings. I've since launched Meridian Growth Systems, a B2B consultancy targeting legal firms and private healthcare clinics in Birmingham.

What sets me apart is technical depth combined with commercial instinct, plus three Anthropic AI certifications — one of very few marketers with formal accredited AI credentials.
