Ex Meta | Data-Driven | Mentor

Passionate about partnerships and people, I'm a Marketing Leader with over a decade of experience across diverse industries, I thrive on building robust partnerships and creating innovative product integrations that lead to mutual growth. I've honed the ability to identify whitespace opportunities and bring together mutually interested parties to drive innovation.

𝐌𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲: Over the past 10+ years, I've been fortunate to contribute to the implementation of growth initiatives and strategic alliances, shaping the trajectory of businesses. My genuine excitement comes from identifying market gaps and crafting high-impact partnerships that leave all sides better off.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬: I excel in relationship-building, strategizing impactful partnerships, and enhancing digital operations. By closely listening to partners, understanding their needs, and collaborating effectively, I've consistently achieved shared goals. 

𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Eager to apply my skills and experience to new challenges, I'm here to drive success for my partners. Let's connect and explore the potential opportunities ahead.

Currently, I am focused on leveraging my partnership talents to scale ethical AI adoption globally. With experience across regions, I see tremendous potential but also risks from rapid innovation without responsibility. Mindful commercialization is key.

Outside of partnerships, you'll find me on the beach with my pups or planning my next ski trip. If you share a passion for animals or human-centric AI, I would love to exchange perspectives!

𝗣.𝗦. Here's what coworkers say about me:

Senior Account Manager

Blue Mango Marketing Ltd

I created Blue Mango while studying at Manchester Grammar School. 

During this time, we primarily serviced SME businesses in the Manchester area. I would go door-to-door on local high streets during the weekends selling digital marketing services to hospitality businesses and independent retailers.

When I left school, I decided to continue building Blue Mango instead of heading off to university. 

We successfully grew the business by hiring new talent and transitioning our client base into medium to large companies. 

We worked on a variety of projects for clients such as Thompson Local, 118 Group, IAS and Mello Drinks, to name a few.

Founder & Managing Director

🤯 You walk into a New York restaurant, ready to order. Instead of a cashier behind the counter, there’s a tablet, and on the screen, a friendly face from the Philippines taking your order in real time via Zoom. 🤯

This is happening right now. Cashiers working remotely for $3.75 an hour, thousands of miles away, helping small restaurant owners keep the lights on as rents and wages in the city keep climbing.

On one hand, it’s a lifeline for businesses fighting to survive. On the other hand, it’s a sign of how global and virtual even the most “local” jobs have become.

Here’s the twist: if a cashier can do this job from across the world, how long before AI does it from nowhere at all? 

It makes me pause. 

Are we ready for a world where the human touch is optional, even in something as simple as ordering lunch? 

What does this mean for workers, for culture, for the way we connect in daily life?

Curious to hear your thoughts. Would you prefer a human on a screen or an AI behind the scenes? And what do we lose, or gain, as these lines keep blurring?

Remember when hashtags were the secret sauce for growth on Instagram?

There was a time when you could slap on a handful of trending tags and suddenly your reach would skyrocket. It felt like a cheat code, and for a while, it was.

But here’s the reality: the game has changed.

Today, Instagram rewards something entirely different. It’s not about posting more or stacking hashtags. Now it’s about:

⚡️ Using the right keywords in your content and bio

⚡️ Crafting bios that actually tell your story 

⚡️ Leveraging automation to do the heavy lifting (schedule with Meta Business Suite:

It’s less about volume, more about precision.

I’ve seen so many creators and brands still clinging to the old playbook, hoping the algorithm will notice. 

But the platforms and audiences have evolved. If you’re still running your 2016 strategy, you’re not just missing out. You’re invisible.

So, are you ready to update your approach? Or are you staying stuck in the past?

What’s one shift you’ve made (or resisted) in your social strategy lately? Let’s swap notes.

#Instagram #CreatorEconomy #SocialMediaStrategy

🧨 YouTube just declared war, and the battleground is your living room. 🧨

But here’s the twist: they’re not gunning for TikTok or Instagram. They’re coming for Netflix, HBO, Disney+, and Amazon Prime. The prize? Your TV screen, the most valuable real estate in digital media.

What most people don’t realise is that YouTube has already won. They own about 11% of all US TV viewing, and now they’re rolling out a wave of features that widen the gap:

⚡ 4K thumbnails, finally, your first impression matches your content, even on the biggest screens

⚡ AI upscaling, every video gets an HD facelift, with 4K on the horizon

⚡ Immersive previews, Netflix-style autoplay but for your YouTube channel

⚡ Instant shopping via QR codes, 35 billion hours of shopping content now frictionless from the couch

These aren’t just upgrades. YouTube is no longer a social platform. It’s a streaming network. It’s a commerce engine. It’s the new home screen.

As creators, this changes everything.
If you’re still thinking mobile first, or optimising for 1080p, you’re playing last year’s game.

The shift is already here.
Shoot once, upload once, and your content looks perfect everywhere.

Are you still treating YouTube like a social app, or are you ready for the living room era?

🧙. Prompt engineering isn't magic 🧙. It's starting to look a lot like real engineering.

A tech lead recently spent over a thousand hours analysing how to optimise the performance of AI models. 

Not by writing essays or clever riddles, but by treating prompts like code: short, structured, and repeatable. He distilled it into six patterns called "KERNEL." 

❓ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 ❓ 
Their team's success rate with models like GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, and LLaMA jumped to 94%, and token usage dropped by half.

🧠 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁. Prompt writing isn't guesswork or artful persuasion anymore. It's becoming a discipline with frameworks, testing, and measurable outcomes.

We're moving from "just try stuff and see what works" to a world where prompt architecture is as serious as software architecture. 

Maybe the next generation of engineers will be just as fluent in prompt patterns as they are in Python❓

Are we ready to treat prompt engineering as a core skill, not a side hustle? Or does the real creativity still live in the grey areas?

Curious to hear how others are approaching this shift. Is your team already thinking like this?

#AI #PromptEngineering #FutureOfWork

Ever feel like you’re spending more time figuring out what to ask AI than actually getting the answers you need?

That’s been my experience too. The blank prompt box can be intimidating, especially when you know the right question could unlock hours of productivity.

Recently, I stumbled on something OpenAI quietly rolled out, a library of 300+ ready to use prompts tailored for almost every role you can imagine. Marketing, sales, engineering, HR, even executive strategy, it’s all there. Ready out of the box, free, and hiding in plain sight inside ChatGPT. Explore it here: https://dub.sh/AYku3lU

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝗲:
The real bottleneck with AI isn’t the tech. It’s knowing how to ask for what you need. OpenAI just handed us a shortcut, and I can’t help but wonder how many workflows, meetings, and creative blocks this will quietly dissolve.

If you want to sharpen your prompting, this guide is useful: https://dub.sh/I3d3Rkx

So, are we about to see a new wave of AI-powered productivity, or will this just create more noise?

Curious to hear how you’d use a resource like this. Would a prompt library actually change the way you work?

❤️‍🔥 Carousels are quietly dominating both in organic reach and as paid ads. ❤️‍🔥

I’ve seen it firsthand: the right carousel can outperform a slick video or static post, hands down. But it’s not just about tossing a few slides together and hoping for the best.

Here’s what’s working for me (and the brands I work with):

⚡ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. If it doesn’t stop you mid-scroll, it’s not good enough. My personal favourite? That time I interviewed a showerhead. Yes, really.

💭 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. If someone can DM a single slide to a friend or repost it as a story, you’ve struck gold. Those “secondary shares” are the secret sauce for virality and maximising your return on ad spend.

🔥 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘀: super simple, almost generic visuals vs. highly designed, branded slides. You’ll be surprised which wins.


Here’s my last reminder: if you have a great video, you probably have the bones for a killer carousel too. 

Don’t let it gather dust.

If you’re running ads, these are useful:

➡️ 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗹 𝗔𝗱𝘀: https://lnkd.in/eGgUuyqd

What’s your go-to move for making content shareable? Curious if carousels are working for you, or if you’re still all-in on video.
