About Mark

With over 17 years’ experience in integrated communications, I specialise in delivering high-impact PR and content strategies for global B2B and consumer brands. I’ve partnered with organisations including Adobe, Accenture, Nestlé, Virgin Money and Sky, creating narratives that cut through and drive measurable results.

As a Director at Red Consultancy, I led major accounts such as Nestlé and Avon, overseeing multi-market campaigns, managing significant budgets and delivering consistent top-tier coverage. I have a strong track record of generating impactful stories even without a traditional news hook, securing results in titles including the FT, Guardian and Forbes. My work spans corporate reputation, consumer campaigns and purpose-led storytelling — including award-winning initiatives focused on breast cancer awareness and gender-based violence, demonstrating the power of creativity to drive real-world impact.

I bring senior counsel experience, advising leadership teams on messaging, media strategy and issues management, alongside a proven ability to grow accounts, unlock new revenue streams and support new business wins.

Previously, as Associate Director at 33Seconds, I led the PR function for a fast-growing agency focused on tech start-ups and scale-ups. I took full ownership of the PR team during a pivotal period, managing a division responsible for around 40% of company revenue. Working across strategy, content and media relations, I helped launch brands into the UK market, secure top-tier coverage and deliver campaigns that drove tangible commercial outcomes.

I combine strategic thinking with a hands-on, delivery-focused approach — bringing energy, clarity and a deep understanding of how to achieve meaningful results in today’s evolving media landscape.

I had responsibility to grow each of my accounts organically, feeding into the overall fee forecast for the business services division.
