— Content & Marketing

Content and marketing,
one source.

I work with founders, personal brands, and small businesses that need a content engine AND someone who'll think about whether the content is doing its job. 10+ years in marketing and art direction (most recently at CUBE Bikes, one of the world's largest bike brands) paired with a fast solo content operation. Photo, video, and where it makes sense, SEO and ads. One contact, no agency overhead.

— What I do

Three layers,
one partner.

01
Content creation

Photo and video for your brand — campaigns, social content, founder portraits, lifestyle product, brand stories. Same fast turnaround as my sports/event work, scaled for small-brand budgets.

02
Strategy & art direction

I think about the brief before we shoot. What's the campaign trying to do, who's it for, what beats does it need? Drawing on 10+ years of marketing and art direction at CUBE Bikes. No deck-heavy consulting — just sharper briefs and stronger work.

03
SEO & paid ads

When the content needs a layer underneath it: SEO setup and optimisation, Google Ads campaigns, Meta Ads. Built around your real conversion paths, not vanity metrics. Available as an add-on, not a separate engagement.

— The approach

Strategy first,
content second.
SEO third if needed.

Most freelance photographers and videographers will execute exactly what you brief them. That's fine if your brief is right. It's expensive if it isn't.

I spent 10+ years in marketing and art direction at sports brands — most recently CUBE Bikes, one of the largest bike brands in the world — before going freelance. I know what a brief should look like, what's missing from most of them, and when to push back before we shoot rather than after we've burned a day.

For founders and small brand owners, that's the actual difference: someone who'll tell you the angle isn't working, suggest a different deliverable, and adapt the brief while we're shooting because the original plan met reality. SEO and ad services round it out when it makes sense — but the foundation is content that actually fits your brand strategy.
