About

An experienced PR professional and ex- regional business editor, with a passion for creative communications, Ben has over 15 years experience working in consumer and corporate communications across both the public and private sector.

Having started life in consumer PR working across tech, food and drink and sport, over the last decade he has developed a passion for the built environment working on projects ranging from the regional MIPIM presence to leading regeneration projects in across the UK.

Whether he’s providing senior counsel or a creative and often pun featuring headline, Ben knows how to unearth the stories which your audience want to know and sharing them whether through media relations or social first video production.

Biggest Influence

Perhaps an unexpected one – Bruce Springsteen and for multiple reasons. The first being that I hope when I’m in my 70s I might be half as cool! Beyond that, he’s a storyteller who has consistently found ways to adapt to a changing environment and been able to both celebrate and at times chastise Americana.

Career Highlight

It’s hard to pick one, from recreating the Rocky training montage for a client to hosting events in front of hundreds of people, I’ve had plenty of good moments. However, producing a short film which premiered at Cannes, to applause, was a pinch me moment.

Favourite Place

Anywhere on, or in, the water. In the 2020s this feels like a cliché now, but a bit of outdoor / wild swimming in my opinion is the best way to decompress, release stress and find some time just to ponder.

Alternative Career

I did a history degree and for years just wanted to be Mike Loades or Dan Jones, so it’s got to be a TV Historian. And ideally one who gets to test out the weapons! In fact, if the Royal Armouries are reading this, I’m not against a career change.
