Craigs passion for both Marketing and his football club is infectious. I had the pleasure of chatting to Craig about all things Marketing within a sports industry and the value he brought was amazing. When discussing tactics both on and off the field it is clear that Craig loves what he does and this shines through in the Marketing activities that The Anfield Wrap is using to grown and develop their brand. Keep up the great work Craig and Up the Mighty Reds

Craig strikes the perfect balance between talent and attitude when it comes to his marketing career. With a sound grasp of the complete media landscape, from traditional to digital and new, Craig journeyed from Digital Marketing Executive to an all-encompassing Marketing Executive with ease at Charles Hurst Group. His can-do attitude is combined with superb communication skills and an ability to inspire his fellow colleagues and reporting line to get behind him. It is rare to find someone with all of these attributes and it makes Craig an excellent candidate for any marketing role.
