I worked with Charles at Whizz Education to drive sales leads. Charles is highly professional with many years’ experience. He is talented at managing up and down and everyone in the team appreciated his experience and management style. He is able to motivate others and bring a marketing strategy and plan to fruition which he did successfully at Whizz.

I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of working with Charles during his tenure at Whizz Education. From my perspective, Charles has vast experience in understanding the requirements of the marketing department to ensure a successful process of getting sales leads into the top of the funnel to ensure the exit point delivers the leads and results the sales team need to increase output. It is not just a process of emailing people with info but creating a following, research driven papers, case studies, proof packs, arranging bespoke events, dealing with press and various agencies to drive market awareness! All these are key to a successful “big picture” marketing and PR campaign. He is very focused and driven, a good listener to what are the trigger points in the industry he is involved with. This means he can be left to his own devices to run everything marketing/PR related! Charles is highly respected by his team and is always willing to go the extra mile to support them. He brings experience in many different fields and industries and different ways to communicate with audiences which is very important is this very fast evolving market. To cap it all, he is a Gem of a human being! I personally look forward to when our paths will cross over again!

I worked with Charles at The Economist Intelligence Unit for over two years. It was a new position and Charles sold his new, big ideas in a highly matrixed environment. I was impressed by how he moved from smart strategy into completing projects that moved the business forward. I highly recommend Charles.

I have the pleasure of working with Charles at The Business of Fashion regularly. His expertise in Marketing Optimisation is always incredibly helpful, and his work helps the entire marketing team move forward. I would recommend him for any future projects to drive audience growth and engagement.

Charles is very creative and innovative when it comes to finding new and specific audiences, as well as driving them to a particular site, campaign and/or getting them to take an action. He thinks deeply about the many channels to reach a prospect. One particular example comes to mind while working together at The Economist. We were asked to drive new prospects and current readers to a sensitive but important topic The Economist was to publish on its cover. Charles found different foundations and NGOs that campaign for this particular topic, and was able to use earned media tactics to draw them to the editorial pages. He also worked with media and creative agencies to put together a very clever paid digital OOH campaign addressing the sensitive topic in one of London’s most visited squares. He also worked effectively with our social media team to find interesting ways to get Economist social followers to engage with the cover content. In sum, Charles is a real asset to any marketing / PR / audience development team.

He has an outstanding ability to comprehend the constant evolution of the market, and adapt and innovate effective strategies and practices to ensure successful business outcomes were achieved. Moreover, Charles has remarkable verbal and written communication and was paramount in devising effective blogs and content to drive brand awareness. I loved collaborating with Charles, he challenged and pushed my limitations as a commercial Director, resulting in great personal and professional growth. I thoroughly recommend Charles, he would be a great asset to any organisation.

Charles is a professional at his prime. He is a “can do” man. What seemed impossible – live and running on time and without unexpected budget increases. What continued to impress me and ,frankly to admire, during our work together is non-standard/innovative approaches that yield much better ROI than old-standard/overused “tools”. There is a lot to learn from Charles but only if one wants. Great colleague and team member. Forever grateful for always challenging me and the team
