Jan 2017 - Present
The Curious Few is a digital marketing and communications consultancy for the built environment.Co-founded with partner Kimberley Anderson who brings 18+ years of marketing experience to the agency, we create impactful and engaging digital experiences that help businesses make meaningful connections with clients and attract new business.The consultancy was founded out of a desire to combine our years of industry experience and shared passion for architecture into a business we could call our own. We work remotely from various locations around the world, bringing in a team of UK-based digital, social media and SEO specialists when a project demands additional resources.Coming from an architectural background, I believe in the value of excellent design and as Lead Designer I lead the web design process, from briefing and concept generation through to application. My 20 year experience working in the construction industry puts me in the unique position of being able to understand and interpret client and audience needs, as well as having insight into the inner workings of architectural and design practices.Completed projects include brand development, website strategy, bespoke website development and digital engagement projects for clients across the UK, Europe and Asia.
