Please feel free to send me a connection request or message via LinkedIn. My journey with using social media for businesses began in 2009, whilst working for an accountancy firm. When I saw that other companies were successfully using social networks to build an audience, I knew that was something we had to get involved in. After speaking to the owner of Numbers (UK) Ltd, he agreed and I was given the role of New Media Manager. After relocating to Bedford later that year, I continued to manage Numbers (UK) Ltd but joined another local accountancy firm, setting up their social media from scratch. This was so successful that the firm offered my skills to their own clients. I worked with a variety of businesses and charities, setting them up, training them on how to use each platform properly and showed how it helps them to grow their presence online. Along side this, I also helped friends' businesses, and soon began to grow my portfolio. Prompted by increasing demand, I decided to launch AWSMuk in early 2015. I enjoy helping companies and individuals tell their story through branding as a whole. Adverts for virtual and physical products, newsletters, podcasts, and videos all contribute, and through AWSMuk I help people achieve this.
