Profile
I have grown two agencies and have always managed the day-to-day in a strategic and operational capacity, leading the team from the front, but also rolling my sleeves up in projects. This means I’m well-placed to oversee any client-facing aspects of an agency offer – from account management and project management, to strategic planning and delivery, and I can also handle the commercial and managerial responsibilities of running a business.I am a digital-first creative thinker and have built trusted partnerships with my clients by being honest, proactive and collaborative; solving their challenges with effective creative work that has driven growth for their businesses and elevated their brands.
"Adam managed to walk the fine line of being values lead whilst maintaining a delivery focus. This meant that our project was delivered within a very demanding timeline by a team that showed up to every meeting with energy and ideas. Any issues were presented with comprehensive solutions before we even knew about them and even though I have worked on dozens of web builds and rebrands throughout my career I can honestly say I have never witnessed such a smooth and seamless project from start to end. I would work with Adam again in a heartbeat."Lauren Fabianski, Campaigns & Communications Manager, Pregnant Then Screwed

Family
I live with my wife and daughter in Hereford and enjoy being around people – learning from each other and soaking up new experiences. I’m a good listener, always keen to understand what people need and helping them to achieve it, and I run a regular mens’ circle and various meditation retreats.I have built deep expertise in the charity and health & wellness sectors and I’m hugely passionate about the importance of wellbeing – an ethos I have applied to the way I have run my businesses, as well as the organisations I work with on a voluntary basis.
Next
I am now looking for a role where I can put my skills and experiences to good use – either with a client that needs support defining their digital strategy or delivering their digital transformation, or an agency that is looking to expand their team with a digital thinker who can build relationships and run projects.In either of those scenarios I’d be happy to lead or be part of a team.
