Simon Wakeman - marketing, public relations and digital communications

Very capable manager with great attention to detail. Great fun to work with too. Damon Reynolds

Simon was energetic, focused and displayed a commercial and pragmatic approach at delivering propositions. I found he was able to deliver projects within plan through building great relationships with his team and those in other disciplines or with suppliers. Nick Kusalic, Egg

I wanted to turn an expensive print publication into an inexpensive, versatile online publication…I’d noted Simon Wakeman’s work in turning WordPress blogging software into full content management websites and asked if he could help with our magazine…his work is excellent. Richard Bailey, Behind the Spin

Simon is an analytic and strategic thinker who is able to communicate his ideas and insights clearly. He was able to bring unique and important perspectives on customer touchpoints to the various teams we worked within…and was always able to motivate for successful new customer programs based on robust data.
