It’s with much excitement and delight that I can finally announce that with effect from 7th February, I’ll be joining Jam team.

A bit of history

For those of you who have followed my journey, you’ll be aware that 6 months ago I went freelance and was contracted by ProofHQ as their Head of Marketing. As a young self-funded startup, the pace was fast and the development during that time has been tremendous. I’m hugely proud of everything that we as a team have achieved.

With so many possibilities for ProofHQ (it offers solutions to so many different industries!), my main task has been that of segmenting the target markets, strengthening the key messaging and tailoring and creating content relevant to their audiences. Following 6 months of preparation, the team now have a clear focus and structure which I know will serve them well in the future, combined with their killer product.

The future for ProofHQ is shiny bright

Given that ProofHQ are in such good shape, with clients such as Blackberry, AT&T, CBS and Bare Escentuals, it feels the perfect time to move onto what feels like my perfect job with Jam. I’ll continue to advise for ProofHQ and they’ll always have a place in my heart (something I’ll remind them of when they’re bought for billions in years to come!).

So… the new gig!

If you aren’t already aware of Jam, they were the first dedicated social media agency in the UK and are now part of The Engine Group family. My role there is going to be that of a Blogger Relationship Manager which will give me the opportunity to keep my pulse on the web and it’s emerging trends (something that I was passionate about at Carsonified) as well as playing an active part in the blogger community, something that I was born for.

Given the huge clients on their books, I’m looking forward to helping distribute interesting and relevant content, focussing on tech, mobile, fashion cars and entertainment. Um, yeah, as I said, perfect! There will also be lots of events, socials and meetups, so I’m hoping that London is ready for me.

Get in touch…

I couldn’t ask to be joining a cooler agency, advocates of true authenticity with their fingers on the pulse.
