About me
I moved from a tiny Scottish island to London in 1995, and trained in Technical Theatre at Mountview Theatre School. Specialising in sound engineering, I found my professional feet by working in the music festivals team at PRS. From there, Print & Digital Media quickly became a fascination, and I spent the best part of 20 years working for leading international organisations such IPC Media/Time Inc and latterly, spending 8 years at Ascential Plc where I worked for Cannes Lions & WARC managing global holding company and network accounts. I joined Edelman as EMEA Marketing Manager, Case Studies & Awards in October 2021.
I'm passionate about championing creative excellence, hunting out the best work from the region, crafting case studies & films and advising teams on the best strategies for success.
In my spare time I'm found at Punk and Industrial gigs, love Creature Features and eager to make it to Monsterpalooza!
