I’ve been creating, running and managing high-profile, content rich, websites for many years (I created my first web magazine in 1999).
Since 2002 I’ve been employed by the BBC to produce websites and their contents. They’ve trained me as a multi-media broadcast journalist and editor (text, photo, video, audio and social media), manager etc.

My current role at BBC Vision is a mixture of consultant, digital content manager, web strategist and interactive producer.
I’m interested in how the web can be used to reach and engage.
I like making & creating; ideas, strategy and theory, teams, successful websites, great ‘user experiences’, web communities and lots more.

Superuser
BBC Vision
April 2010 - current
Giving guidance about using the web to communicate effectively… looking after web projects for BBC Factual and BBC Drama. The job’s a mixture of consultant, digital content management, creation of web strategy and interactive producing.
Also: In March 2010 I began giving web / media strategy advice to charities through the Media Trust, as a volunteer.
And before that…
Interactive producer (web manager role)
The One Show
2008 – 2010
A two year project, directly managing BBC The One Show’s interactive / web team in London.
Our job was to strengthen the relationship between this ‘flagship’ factual brand and its huge audience, to extend the conversation etc.
We re-launched and then doubled the popularity of the show’s website in the first year.
The site was updated five days a week and was content rich – which meant the commissioning, creation and management of blogs, features, video (often featuring famous faces), games etc etc.
Working for The One Show gave me access to an audience of around five million people per night, five nights a week for two years. This allowed me to try out web theory and strategy on a mass mainstream audience, and then tweak, improve, retry and repeat.
And before that…
