Hevolution
Social strategy for a new organisation in the healthy ageing research space.
For the past decade I have been the strategist in the room when large organisations needed to get clear on how to move in social and digital.
I've worked with teams at TikTok, Visa, Zoom and E.ON across brand, culture, sport and entertainment. From activating around the Paris Olympics and Formula 1 to shaping how TikTok showed up across Eurovision, AFCON and the Women's Euros, the work has consistently sat at the intersection of audience behaviour, cultural relevance and commercial outcomes.
That experience is what I bring directly to the creative businesses doing this work now.

Gen Z Social Strategy and Paris Olympics Activation
Audience and social strategy for Visa EMEA, covering always-on social content across European markets and activation around the Paris 2024 Olympics as the brand worked to become more relevant with younger audiences.
ChallengeVisa is one of the most recognised brands in the world. But recognition is not the same as relevance, especially with younger audiences who have more payment options than any generation before them. The Paris Olympics was the biggest cultural moment in years to shift that perception.
Strategic shiftBuild always-on content to keep the brand present with younger audiences day to day, and turn a global sponsorship into something that felt genuinely culturally relevant rather than simply promotional.
Audience and Social Strategy
Audience and always-on social strategy for Zoom as the platform moved from pandemic necessity to long-term relevance.
ChallengeWhen the world reopened after the pandemic, Zoom faced a different kind of challenge. Everyone knew what it was. The question was whether people would keep choosing it. The market had moved on and the brand needed a reason to stay in people's lives.
Strategic shiftMove from explaining what Zoom does to showing why it still belongs in everyday work and culture, building always-on content that made the case consistently.
Global Sport and Entertainment Strategy
Strategic support for TikTok across always-on social content and major global sport and entertainment moments.
ChallengeTikTok was showing up at some of the biggest moments in global sport and entertainment. The risk was looking like a logo rather than a genuine part of those moments. Audiences notice the difference, and so do the communities built around them.
Strategic shiftEnsure TikTok felt like part of the moment itself, not just the platform hosting it, while building an always-on approach that kept the platform present in culture between those moments.
Nottingham Forest Partnership Strategy
Audience and always-on social strategy for E.ON around its partnership with Nottingham Forest.
ChallengeEnergy brands have a trust problem. Most people engage with them only when something goes wrong. E.ON had a high-profile partnership with Nottingham Forest but needed a social strategy that meant something real to the people who follow the club, not just one that put the logo in frame.
Strategic shiftConnect the brand to the community around the club rather than treating the partnership like traditional sponsorship, with always-on content that showed up consistently in fan culture.
Social Strategy for Healthy Ageing Research
Audience and social strategy for Hevolution, an organisation focused on advancing healthy ageing research.
ChallengeHealthy ageing science is not a topic most people scroll past on purpose. Hevolution was a new organisation trying to build a presence in a space that barely existed on social media. The challenge was making complex research feel worth paying attention to.
Strategic shiftTranslate complex research into social storytelling people would actually choose to engage with.
