I’ve always been a fan of tech, since a young age I became passionate about video editing and animation. I fully believed I would go into a career involving those subjects – Only until I got to my A-levels and studied business did it all change. Since then I’ve had a passion for the marketing industry. I went onto study a Digital Marketing Apprenticeship which gave me the foot up into my role today.
I’m placed within the online-marketing, the role consists of managing a fantastic portfolio of clients. Every day consists of something new, with some exciting challenges popping up from time to time. The best thing about the role is definitely hearing a client’s positive feedback, and seeing the direct impact of the marketing work on their practice.
Name a TV show and I’ve probably watched it. Not sure if impressive or incredibly nerdy, but I can confidently say I’ve finished over 200+ TV series. When I’m not binge-watching, I’ll probably be socialising with my mates or at the ski slope. I started freestyle skiing at the end of 2018 so I’m keen to hit it big next season! Not to wish away the summer though, as I love a good beer garden and festival.
Why a Local Business Should Utilise Digital Marketing (12/2/2019) Posted in: Internet, MarketingI studied marketing and graduated from Bournemouth Uni in 2017. I also worked in online marketing positions alongside my studies, building up my knowledge and love of all things digital! After Uni I knew I wanted to work in a digital marketing agency and struck gold when I secured my position here at Dental Design.
As part of the online marketing team, my role is to work with dentists and practice teams, focussing on the SEO and PPC aspects of online marketing. I love getting to know my clients and seeing my campaigns help to build and grow a practice’s online visibility and patient base.
I have always lived by the sea and love being outdoors. I try to keep active and enjoy taking on a challenge - I recently ran a half marathon and will be trekking in China later this year for Charity. You’ll normally find me out walking or at the beach at the weekend, of course stopping at a pub or two along the way! My other love is all things cooking, food and drink related. Not to brag… but I’ve been told that I make the best brownies and Espresso Martinis in Bournemouth!
Types Of Search Term And How To Target Them (9/20/2019) Posted in: Search Engine Optimisation, UncategorisedI'm a marketing graduate from Bournemouth University. Whilst writing my dissertation at Uni on Search Engine Optimisation, I was always passionate to learn more. I worked at a digital agency once a week whilst attending Uni to gain more experience (and to help complete my dissertation). I joined Dental Design in 2013 and almost six years on I’m one of the longest members of the team and I’m proud to have been a part of the company’s journey during that time!
I’m part of the online marketing team working on the SEO and PPC campaigns for a portfolio of clients. I also head up the social media side of the business where I manage the social media management packages and Facebook advertising campaigns for a number of practices. I love seeing positive results from the work that I produce … no day is the same!
Pigs, Ed Sheeran and Cheese... I think that pretty much sums me up. Think crazy cat lady, but switch it with pigs (minus the crazy I hope).
I’m a social person who enjoys spending time with my family and friends. Anything that gets my adrenaline pumping I’m keen to give a go and have taken part in a number of extreme sports over the years - keen to tick more off the list too! I do love a challenge, I’ve completed a half marathon and pier-to-pier swim to raise money for the Stroke Association. Last year I visited Tanzania with Bridge2Aid (courtesy of DDL) so that I could witness the life-changing work the Dental charity carry out and this year I will be trekking the Great Wall of China to raise money for Julia’s House. To unwind, I love to cook and watch a good series. “The Walking Dead” is definitely the best series ever to be made!
How to increase your engagement rate on social media (12/2/2019) Posted in: Marketing, Social MediaSince a young age I’ve always been the ‘go-to’ guy in the family for assistance with the World Wide Web! Whether this was growing my family’s website or helping my Grandad responding to an e-mail, this led me to become passionate within online marketing!
I work within the online marketing team and hold a portfolio of brilliant clients. I like that each day consists of a different routine and I LOVE seeing my clients receive positive results from the work I carry out. Of course, we come up against some challenges but Dental Design is a family unit and we pull through it together.
To let my (short) hair down, you’ll find me stuffing my face with chicken wings and socialising with my friends…likely at a festival. I’m a passionate Liverpool fan which as you can imagine… is stressful BUT that’s the beautiful game and I wouldn’t change it for the world! Oh and I’m a Chinese buffet connoisseur.
Calling all Flash Websites! – It is time for a re-design! (11/1/2019) Posted in: Blog, Search Engine Optimisation, Web designSince being obsessed with drawing animals as a child, and subsequently studying Art and Graphic Design through school and higher education; I always wanted a job where I could be creative. Prior to joining Dental Design I worked in web development in multiple sectors, including: education, IT consultancy firms, the travel industry and sports clubs.
I’ve been working at Dental Design since 2016 where my role involves me designing/building new websites. It’s great to be able to contribute to a client’s visual impression on the web, from designing the initial concept – through to building the site and developing the responsive version. I consider myself very lucky to be a part of such a dedicated and skilled team of designers. Being able to work with a view of the sea and the Purbecks is an added bonus!

I’m very fortunate to have always called Dorset my home. I love spending time with my family - especially my daughter, Alice and Labrador, Monty. Downtime involves anything from running on the beach, listening to podcasts, playing video games or watching movies. I’m at the point in my life where a National Trust membership is pretty exciting!
Before joining Dental Design, I did the usual sixth form/college/uni thing. I struggled with classroom learning so ultimately decided to leave uni half-way and went on to teach myself through a mix of work experience and YouTube! After moving back to Poole, I applied for a role in the amendments team at Dental Design.
I work on the design team and have been at dental design since 2013. I started as a junior and have worked my way up to new designs. I thrive on learning new things, so the job suits me down to the ground. I love working here and I think this is reflected in the quality of work.
Outside of work I enjoy the usual… Xbox, football, riding my bike as far and as fast as I can go before falling off… and of course, spending time with family and friends. I’m completely obsessed with formula one and will happily bore anyone talking about it (if I’m given the chance!).
I always loved drawing as a kid. My first taste of art being commercial was studying Graphic Design in college - I was hooked and went on to a Foundation, then a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communication. Over the last ten years I’ve worked as a designer in property, pensions, IT, healthcare, and most recently dentistry. I still play with crayons.
Since moving from the city to the coast eight years ago it’s been great living and working here. I’ve been with Dental Design for two years, and still look forward to Mondays. My strength is finding the point where creative meets strategy. Working here means I get to help people, work with an awesome team, and solve problems for our clients using video, on-screen, and in print.
People are the most important fixture in my life; I’m lucky to have a brilliant family. When I’m not being chased around by nephews or spending time with friends I enjoy making music and love to travel: You can’t beat following your nose and finding a change of scene!
