This is what he thrives on doing through strategic planning, strong leadership, and collaborative culture.
Simon has led and contributed to the management of digital media activity, social teams and content planning, enterprise-level digital projects, and eCommerce optimisation (CRO), while coordinating with internal logistics teams, IT, Marketing, and external agencies. Most importantly he has gained a clear and pragmatic view on how digital can support, enhance and extend wider campaign activity.
