I’ve been working in marketing, PR, the media and social media since the dial-up days of the mid 1990s.

During that time I’ve worked with 50+ brands, including some of the world’s biggest Internet companies.

I’ve started two agencies, both of which became agency of the year. This includes my current one Rabbit, which achieved that goal in less than three years.

I’m naturally optimistic, I believe in fairness at work and that if you employ adults you should treat them as adults.

I’m on most social channels as @dirktherabbit 

My current area of interest is the visual web, check out my new site at 8mpx.co.uk
