What the job title doesn’t say…

“I love how much data and insight Further can gather to inform content decisions,” says Gill. “Data helps us target, and creative ideas ensure campaigns perform.”

Gill creates data-led content strategies to increase reach and engagement to grow audiences – “It’s where data fuels creativity.”

With 15 years of experience of content creation on- and offline (including many at one of London’s largest newsstand publishing houses), Gill has created and consulted on content for brands including Harley-Davidson, Channel 4, Rolls-Royce, Zoopla, Budweiser and the Oxford University.

Technology is constantly changing how, where and when we communicate and Gill is a keen innovator, always exploring new ways of delivering and promoting awesome content. His skills and knowledge cover content strategy, the full editorial gamut, creative direction, broadcast and social media.

“As well as creating great campaigns, my mission is to make content marketing as measurable as possible because people need to see ROI.”
