I am an independent marketing and media effectiveness consultant, with an emphasis on delivering marketing science-based solutions to advertisers. My independent status allows me to show you “how it is” rather than “how it ought to be”.

I offer extensive experience to support this, having worked at multiple market-leading agencies and media companies including CACI, Channel Four, Initiative, Mindshare, mSix, Ogilvy and PHD.

Client Experience: You can see my client experience here.

Awards: In the last four years my team has won three MediaWeek Awards (a gold and two silvers) for Best use of Econometrics, and a Silver for Best Use of Data and a Special Award for Attribution in the 2019 WARC global Best use of Data awards.

Technical: From a technical point of view I use R for all modelling and have undertaken extensive R courses including Tree Based Models in R, Visualising spatial data in R, Analysing Social Media data in R, Time-Series analysis in R, Correlation and Regression in R, Data Manipulations with dplyr, Multiple and Logistic Regression R, Intermedia R and Modelling with Data in the Tidyverse.
