Member Bio

I’ve worked in magazine publishing since the late 90s.

I spent a decade at Future running ad teams and launched its content marketing agency, FuturePlus, creating branded content for clients including Sky, Vodafone, HMV, Microsoft, GAME and Electronic Arts (EA).

Since then, I’ve launched several successful media startups, and work as a consultant for clients including DawBell, Hearst, YUMPU, Jamie Cullum (for whom I published the ground-breaking magazine The Eighty-Eight), Sophie Dahl, Wanderlust, IDEAT, PPA and Anthem.

Between 2018-2023 I published Circus Journal and in 2023 launched nearfield, a regional media business helping people to discover the best things to see, do and experience across the southwest of England.
