Client Testimonials

"

Phil truly is the Swiss Army Knife of marketing professionals. Equally as comfortable working on design and brand projects as he is setting up complex marketing automation campaigns, he truly is the epitome of what a modern marketer needs to be.

As well as being multi-talented, Phil is incredibly good at what he does - with an OCD-like attention to detail and natural creativity that allows him to breathe life and personality into every project he undertakes. Perhaps most importantly of all though is Phil’s commitment to what he does. He genuinely loves what he does and this shows in the approach he takes every day and in the work he produces.

I have worked with Phil on several campaigns over the years and I find his expertise, imagination, creativity, & insight is second to none. He is a pleasure to work with and would massively recommend his services as he would be an asset to any team.

Phil was one of my best clients at Twitter. Aside from his great personality and open approach, he was always thinking of ways to improve on what was being done, even if campaigns were already going well.

Instead of just looking at what was being done at the present, he would look at past campaigns and new tools to prepare for the future. He always had new ideas that we could discuss, ensuring that it wasn't just the same updates being made all the time.
