Account Manager @ Kurogo | We create thought leaders through personal branding

I’m the Head of Content at Darkroom.

My job is helping the people inside the company share what they already know without turning it into performative content or forcing anyone into a creator box.

I’m building an internal thought-leadership motion across LinkedIn, X, Substack, and TikTok by putting structure around good thinking and making it easier to create content consistently.

Before this role, I spent a few years deep in LinkedIn, working closely with founders and operators, asking a lot of questions, and turning long conversations into clear, useful content.

What I noticed pretty quickly was that the people with the most insight are usually the least interested in posting. They don’t lack ideas. They lack time, systems, and a clean way to translate what’s already in their heads.

I come from an engineering background (master’s in engineering), which probably explains how I think about content.

At Darkroom, that shows up as helping leaders find their real point of view and designing content systems that work across platforms.

I’m especially interested in founder-led and expert-led content, and in building internal content engines that feel sustainable.

Always up for a coffee chat. Feel free to hit me up.

Personal Brand Manager.

AUTOMATE TEK

Our presence online and at trade shows like Foam Expo and interzum has meant that we have also received enquiries from all across the world to use our machines, in an adapted form, in other industries of manufacturing, far beyond beds and mattresses, to serve the automotive, interiors, furniture, industrial and fulfilment and logistics sectors.

As a result, we are introducing AUTOMATE TEK to differentiate the machines that can be made bespoke and modified to your tailored requirements and specifications.

A new offering that will help manufacturers and processors to find our machines and provide a solution that fits their needs, no matter what their industry. We are experts in problem solving and preventative solutions that fit into existing and new production lines to automate and streamline facilities and plant operations and make them more efficient, reducing time wastage, downtime, increasing productivity, capacity and volume of output.

Plus Importance Project

As the UK’s first registered charity with a focus on the + of LGBT+, we aim to create a world where those who identify fully or partly in the + of LGBT+ experience equal rights, respect and representation.
LGBT+ defined as sexualities, gender identities, relationship orientations and sex characteristics including, but not limited to; POC, asexual, genderfluid, genderqueer, intersex, non-binary, pansexual, polyamorous, queer and neurodiverse, etc.

Our identities are valid and should be recognised, understood and celebrated.

As Marketing Lead, I work with the founder and chair, as well as other trustees and volunteers, and oversee the management and administration of the marketing, brand and awareness of the charity, ensuring we keep to our values, and contribute to our strategic direction.

Clothing Collective

Outreach to support organisations across the North West of England to provide them with pre-paid gift cards to distribute to those in need to spend on clothes in charity shops listed with the Charity Retail Association.

We partner with charity shops who accept our gift cards in return for clothing stock held at their shops. We also partner with charities such as food banks and shelters who distribute our gift cards to those people in need to redeem them at one of our ‘charity shop partners’. 

It’s a win-win scenario: those in need get access to warm comfortable clothing in a humane and dignified way, our ‘gift card distributing partners’ are able to support their beneficiaries in an additional way, and our ‘charity shop partners’ are able to turn around more stock from their stores, generating additional revenue for their charity cause.

A helping hand for those in need and those who help them.

For the shelters, we offer a free to use, national platform, on which to publicise their animals. We've built it to be quick and easy to use, and offer the option to link with their own website and social media - ultimatly reducing the time and effort they spend on trying to keep their online presence updated.

For those looking for their next furry friend our site offers a unique search function, allowing you to look for animals up and down the country whilst offering a range of filters such as age, breed, good with pets, and many more... all to make your search that little bit easier.

We exist to help match animals with their forever homes, as quickly as possible.

Multi-award-winning marketer with over a decade of cross-industry experience who has been referred for roles and managed a whole spectrum of projects.

A highly-motivated creative professional with extensive experience in many aspects of public relations, communications, media, customer service and strategy, I am constantly focussed to ensuring efficiency, innovation and best utilisation of resources and maximum return on investment (ROI), putting customer experience at the forefront of my thought-processes, and decision-making.
