If you thought you knew everything about Marketing, think again!

Marketing is an industry that is constantly changing. To succeed in this sector, you need to consume as much information as you can around the marketing ecosystem and build the foundational knowledge that will help you stand out from the crowd.

His book The Seen Startup guides startups through the early stages. He is the creator of a Meetup group of over 4,500 members for whom he runs regular events. He has also tutored students topics such as ‘organisational behaviour’ at degree level.
