Simon Wakeman

I've been on the web since 2001 and have been blogging about marketing and public relations since January 2006.

I'm currently Head of Marketing at Medway Council as well as a freelance marketing and PR consultant.

The content and opinions expressed on this website are not endorsed by nor reflect the views of any company or organisation I work with.

I have always found him knowledgeable, pleasant and professional…I would happily recommend him to anyone needing a professional advisor in the areas of social media, web 2.0 and public sector communications although it’s worth mentioning that his skill set is much wider than that. Raul Gonzalez, Ether-Ray

Simon has a great approach and a real breadth of experience. We were able to discuss the pros and cons of a whole variety of initiatives from multiple perspectives. Charlie Hampson, Egg
