AcornHub

• Head Of Marketing

  • Sep 2018 - Mar 2019

  Having completed my previous role in raising funds for Acorn I was responsible for marketing the platform and consulting with users to secure a pipeline of leads ready to use the product. As I had been integral to much of the marketing activity within the company it was a natural transition to assume this role.

• Head of Sales and Partnerships

  The AcornHub was designed to help start-ups and scale-ups around the world by providing support to entrepreneurs from entrepreneurs. We raised $4M USD to achieve this and as part of the founding team I had the pleasure of building, leading and developing the sales team to secure this goal. In tandem with this I was responsible for securing partners who could help the founders on our platform realise their vision.

Port of Call

• Bristol

• Landlord

  • Jul 2013 - Jan 2016

  Good pubs are a rare opportunity so I took the chance to run my own, I enjoyed a fun couple of years in which I doubled turnover in the first 12 months and was well reviewed online and in local press. This was primarily driven via successful marketing campaigns which were largely content based. This included extensive use of social media platforms and direct mail in the form of a monthly newsletter, all of which was aimed to curate an audience outside of the pub itself with relevant and entertaining content. This marketing approach combined with an entertaining proposition of real ales, smoked food, live music and intelligent and personable staff facilitated the growth of the business in a waning industry.
