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 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

When I worked with Simon I found him to be postive, forward thinking and a pleasure to work with. Mark Pearson
