About Us/ JDM Designs Marketing Consultant
JDM DESIGNS MARKETING CONSULTANT
When I'm not climbing a peak somewhere, I'm usually sat at a screen managing people’s social media, building marketing strategies and helping people build their brands.
As a Freelance Digital Marketing Manager/Consultant, based near Macclesfield, Cheshire, with nearly 20 years of marketing industry experience, I have worked with a variety of clients, from large National Organizations to SMEs, both B2B and B2C.
I started my career in the property and construction industry, with over 20 years of experience as a Buyer, concluding my tenure as Regional Buyer and Group Commodity Manager at Miller Homes, a prominent UK housebuilder.
During this period, I achieved my MCIOB (member of the chartered institute of building) and also CEnv (chartered environmentalist).
When the construction industry declined in 2008, I chose voluntary redundancy and considered a career change. While on a beach in Ibiza, I noticed that my beach towel frequently blew away, which led me to consider that there could be a product developed to address this issue.
The Beach Towel Clip launched in 2010 and, with support from UKTI and NWDA, achieved global sales, several awards, and media coverage including the BBC and SKY TV. I was later recognised by the Federation of Small Businesses as a ‘real-life entrepreneur’, and helped launch their small business manifesto in Brussels with the FSB team.
My experience in product design, launch, and market introduction led companies to seek my help with their new products and inventions. I have successfully launched multiple products, supported inventors, and established effective digital marketing strategies that expanded brands and customer bases within budget.
For six and a half years, up until February 2021, I was engaged full-time in launching and developing a leading crowdfunding financial P2P platform. During this period, the platform successfully raised over £120 million through crowdfunding initiatives.
Since the closure of the crowdfunding company in February 2021, I have worked with a range of SMEs across various industries.
- Property Industry
- House Builders
- Fintech
- Health and beauty
- New product launch and development
- Co working space
- Food/ restaurant
- Outdoors adventures
- Wellbeing
- Construction Materials
- Automotive
- Consultation role within a global Marketing & PR agency.
I have managed third-party PPC agencies, overseen TV and YouTube video production, and run award-winning social media channels for clients and my own products. My marketing experience includes extensive CRM use, managing email campaigns, and conducting attribution analysis to align messaging and optimise ROI. I've collaborated with IT/UX teams to ensure website and communications reflect analysis findings.
While I appreciate working with a variety of clients, I'm interested in larger projects within organisations, either full-time, freelance, or consultancy, leveraging my diverse industry experience.
I'm always open to discussing new opportunities.
