There he led social strategy and campaign execution for a diverse set of brands such as Sky, Samsung, News International and Specsavers and the UK Government.  “I’m thrilled to be working with the unique combination of Creative and Innovation Directors, Nick Cummins and Dave King – add in The Royals roster of brands in this key period for social communications and you’ve got an opportunity with almost limitless potential.”
