Daniel Ashton

Simon has led guest speaker sessions on the 'Print Media' module of the BA Media Communications degree and the 'Professional Practice' module of the Creative Media Practice degree at Bath Spa University. Simon's first session was during the 2009-10 academic year and he has been invited back annually. He provided expert industry insights and engaged students in a lively way to develop their industry-relevant understandings and own career ambitions. Very personable and always a pleasure to work with.

Thanks to Simon at Jack Content for the design, build & delivery of my website for the Bath Good Food Awards. The website was delivered on time, exceeded my expectations and Simon was a pleasure to deal with, answering my questions promptly and with knowledge whilst delivering excellent value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon & his company Jack Content and indeed will be using them again in the future.

      Full service publishing and PR for Jamie Cullum's ground-breaking magazine, which sold 12,000 copies worldwide and was stocked in WHSmith, Waterstones, Barnes & Nobles, Foyles and many independent bookstores. Promo included a launch event at the Design Museum, Bath Literature Festival and a headline slot at the PPA Festival. Shortlisted for 'Best Original Fiction' at the 2015 Stack Awards. Fun fact - I took the brief for The Eighty-Eight in the back of a minibus in the darkest depths of South Wales while Jamie did promo for his new album on some very obscure local radio stations.
