May 2019 - Feb 2022
The Club Talks boosts mental health through golf. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 45. Golf can be an incredible sport for your mental health – it requires calm focus and combines exercise outdoors with a good chat with mates. I created this brand in 2019 whilst sat on a bench on the golf course and realising golf was good for my mental health. I'm not someone who has suffered with my mental health so far in my life but appreciated the benefit of sport. I posted about this feeling and got a giant response with people empathising and saying how important golf was to them. We then partnered with CALM and MHFA England with the aim to get Mental Health First Aiders in all golf clubs in the country and raise money and awareness around mental health and golf. Show less

Head Of Brand

Oct 2020 - Oct 2021
Caddies from the world's professional golf tours were looking to create a media presence to both monetise their group and give them a voice. I created all branding, built website and social media assets and created a content plan under the hashtag #MoreThanCarryingABag showing what life caddying on the professional golf tours is REALLY like. I ideated content and created workflows for caddies with no media experience to drop content before I edited and posted on social platforms. The platform went from 0 to 15,0000 social media followers in a short time and has so far had millions of views including global media attention from BBC Sport, Forbes, SuperSport SA, Golf Channel and many others.

A placement based in the London offices I was in charge of the Video Conferencing facilities for PwC. Duties included overseeing and pro-actively dealing with any problems between PwC's own VC suites aswell as clients worldwide. Invaluable experience picked up by working under pressure for such a large corporation certainly helped me cut my teeth as a young professional.
