JJ Fox (St James) Ltd

  As Online Manager for London’s oldest cigar merchants, I conceived, designed and built a website that was clean and usable while communicating JJ Fox’s 200-plus year history, taking them from the 18th to the 21st century. I sold my vision to the often conservative board of directors, briefing and project-managing the integration of a bespoke e-commerce solution with internal systems. I also researched/wrote/ commissioned/edited content for the site to tell the story of JJ Fox's uniquely rich heritage.
