Content Strategist - Copywriter - Marketing Manager
Hi, I'm Simon. Thank you for visiting my website.
I help SaaS companies reach their marketing objectives through fresh and subtle content strategies. In this area, I have a strong track record of leading product GTM and brand awareness campaigns.
I'm always seeking to make iterative improvements, whether nailing down the best marketing mix, coordinating the creation of campaign assets, or shipping high-value copy that pops. My professional experience spans a broad range of industries, including biotech, insurance, enterprise e-learning, Salesforce DevOps, and real estate consultancy.
A good content strategy builds brand awareness, fuels customer engagement, and helps drive faster conversions. I bring caring craftsmanship, friendly enthusiasm, and oodles of creativity to my job. What I enjoy most is working with others to flesh out intelligent initiatives that are targeted 'just right' to achieve specific business goals.

I've put together a few pontificating thoughts on the wider purpose, practice, and ethics of marketing in these videos and articles here ...
