I’ve worked on getting people involved in campaigns and causes for over 18 years, and getting on for 25 years in digital communications as a whole.
I spent many years as part of Greenpeace UK’s digital engagement team, first as a digital campaigner and later managing the team. During my time there, I developed and delivered digital campaign strategies for many high-profile campaigns both nationally and globally, including those targeted at HSBC, Nestlé, Unilever, Princes and Mattel. I experimented with the then-emerging mobile technologies and social media platforms to create innovative ways to communicate with and involve mass audiences both online and offline. As a team manager, I helped shape organisational blueprints for digital work and a crack squad of digital experts.
In previous lives, I’ve worked on digital projects at the BBC and Endemol, and been a writer of films reviews and the odd comic.
