Companies like Samsung, Spotify, Penguin Books, MoneySupermarket and Net A Porter have trusted me to create innovative campaigns, supported by major advertising budgets.

I'm the host of popular marketing podcast 'Ahead of the Game' by the Digital Marketing Institute, and I'm a regular contributing expert on TalkRadio and Times Radio (UK) where I offer my expertise on the digital stories of the day.
Why People Love My Courses
I recently did the Social Media and Content Marketing Course with Will. I found it really useful, and learned a lot over the 2 days. Working in a Digital Marketing Agency, I am constantly trying to up-skill myself, and these courses allowed me to do just that.
Will has been amazing in relation to any follow up questions I have had since completing the course. I would definitely recommend this course!
Joanne Ryan
Digital Marketing Manager, Transpose DigitalWill is great. I attended a one-day workshop with him recently on social media, just to brush up on my skills. The guy knows his stuff. He’s very practical and helpful. No waffle or nonsense. He’s also great at following up and answering any questions. I would have no hesitation in recommending his workshops and consultancy services.
