Simon Wakeman - marketing, public relations and digital communications

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

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 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 can highly recommend Simon as an experienced Digital Marketing Manager / Consultant. He has excellent knowledge and experience which he applies equally well when developing channel strategies or implementing tactical campaigns. Debbie Jones
