Creator partnerships

Useful work for brands shaping how B2B teams use AI.

I partner with B2B companies on creator-led research, sharp product education and credible thought leadership—without turning the work into an extended advert.

The work behind the title

Journalism taught me where to look. Strategy taught me what to do next.

01 · Journalism

Find the story before writing the headline.

I began as a journalist and magazine editor: interviewing people, challenging convenient claims and finding the useful truth inside complicated subjects. That instinct still shapes every brief, strategy and piece of research I lead.

02 · Video storytelling

Turn attention into a story people finish.

I built video programmes around founders, customers and proprietary insights—not content made simply because the calendar needed filling. The work has generated more than 16 million views while making complex businesses feel human.

03 · Content marketing & strategy

Connect the idea to the commercial job.

Across B2B SaaS, fintech and enterprise brands, I have led positioning, editorial strategy, campaigns, product storytelling and scalable content systems. The goal is never more content. It is the right content doing measurable work.

04 · SEO & AI search

Build visibility wherever buyers ask.

Today I help brands become discoverable in traditional search and credible inside AI-generated answers. That means combining technical foundations, original evidence, expert insight and measurement—not sprinkling GEO vocabulary over an SEO plan.

The thread through all of it is simple: understand what people need, find the evidence and make the answer worth remembering.

SEO Content & AI Strategist. B2B Creator.

I help complex B2B brands get found in AI-generated answers and traditional blue-link search—then turn that visibility into demand.

I started in journalism, where I learned to find the useful truth inside a messy subject. Over 12+ years, that instinct became a career across SEO, content, product marketing and AI search for B2B SaaS brands including Expensify, Stripe and LSEG. The work spans strategy and execution: research, positioning, content systems, measurement and the occasional uncomfortable question a dashboard cannot answer.

And the sheep? I like quiet confidence, good instincts and love to remain unbothered by the latest herd mentality. The irony is intentional.
