Digital marketing, frontend development and data analysis. I love startups, science, food, coffee, wine and whiskey.

A strategy is not a wish list.
It’s not an activity plan.
It’s a measurable path from where you are to where you need to be—with reality in the mix.

What if your content became an invitation, not just a broadcast?
When you give readers real value—not just words—they come looking for you.
Your smartest content strategy may be serving, not selling.

Strategy isn’t a vibe.
It’s not a checklist.
It’s not “make an app” because your boss read a trend report.
This is a throwback article I wrote over a decade ago—and weirdly, it still holds up:

Governance frameworks fail when the people part stays silent.
This piece shows how communication, champions, incentives and tiny wins rewire a data‑driven culture.

Enjoyment, action, insight: every piece of content should deliver at least one.
Stop chasing vanity metrics and start giving your readers something that sticks.

Creativity doesn’t always come from the top.
Sometimes, it leaks through the cracks.
The Pokemon innovation paradox explains why—and what it means for you.

What if your data rules became a habit, not a burden?
When governance is less form‑filling and more story‑telling, clean data and trust follow.
A cultural reboot you can actually feel.

What if your “strategy” isn’t a strategy at all?
What if it’s just a hopeful list of tasks with no objective in sight?
I wrote this over a decade ago—and somehow it feels even more relevant now:

Sometimes, stagnation is the spark.
Not the killer of creativity—but the reason it erupts elsewhere.

Why do digital marketing teams always seem overwhelmed and reactive? Because most organisations treat them like a distribution service instead of strategic partners. They get called in at the end rather than helping shape what gets created.

I created an AI owl named Mr Hoots to remind my team about tasks. He draws hilarious pictures, and has somehow become the heart of our workplace culture. We laugh together because of him.This got me thinking: what exactly makes a connection "real"?

Your blood vessels can wrap around the planet twice! Except... they can't. This "fact" has no traceable source, yet it's repeated everywhere. From frilled dinosaurs to vaccine myths, why are we so bad at questioning what we're told?

You've felt connection with celebrities who don't know you exist. With fictional characters. These are all one-sided relationships, yet they matter to you. So why do we insist AI connections aren't "real" when they make us feel less alone?

A client saw their customer cancellations drop dramatically. The team couldn't explain why until someone asked the right question. Turns out, they'd made it easier to update payment details.
The insight wasn't in the data—it was in asking "why?"

"The stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt." —Bertrand Russell

Written about 1930s fascism, this quote feels like it was written for 2025. In my latest piece, I explore why we're so comfortable accepting untruth.

Remember Homer's "Everything's Okay Alarm" from The Simpsons? It beeps every few seconds to confirm nothing's wrong—driving everyone crazy. That's exactly what most marketing reports are: constant noise with zero insight.

Most marketing teams create content, then hand it to digital saying "promote this." But what if nobody wants it? What if the data shows your audience craves something different?

Digital teams see this disconnect daily—but rarely get asked for input.

Your homepage is like stepping into a room where six people start yelling at you. Too many conflicting priorities create overwhelm. The homepage forces stakeholders to agree on unified messaging—transformation disguised as web design. #websitedesign

Your website is your virtual storefront and sees more daily traffic than most appeal pages get in a month. It needs product management—roadmap, budget, responsible person. Abandoned cart emails yield results for years. #websitedomination
