Hi, I'm Philip.

I've spent the last thirteen years in influencer and creator marketing across agency (Come Round), SaaS (Traackr) and brand-side roles (Formula E, 2K, Air Up). I've led creator teams of six or more across markets and managed monthly creator budgets of over GBP 500,000.

My first thought-leadership piece ran in PRWeek in 2016, and since then I've been published in multiple outlets and spoken at events across Europe. I also write a weekly influencer marketing newsletter read by practitioners at agencies, brands and platforms around the world.
