About

Consulting a group of new brands/agencies with culture first content architecture and taste, relevant for today and tomorrow. Before this I used to run the social show at Infinix, building a culture-first brand people actually care about. I've built most engaging brand page in consumer electronics space. Got brains for strategy, heart for the craft. Speak fluent content, but I think in distribution. And before that, I was writing film scripts and brand poetry at FCB Kinnect, and engineering virality at WLDD.
