WHO WE ARE

John has 20 years of experience in technology PR and marketing, and has worked with global giants such as IBM, Vodafone and Nokia, as well as many incredibly innovative and exciting start-ups. John's skills lie in helping clients to harness digital and online marketing tools effectively, building a transition between traditional and forward-looking communications strategies, bringing creativity to his day to day work, and categorizing his large collection of vinyl.

James has 20 years of B2B and B2C marketing experience (which is crazy seeing as he claims he’s only 21), and 10 of these years have been spent working at an international level within the mobile sector. James has worked alongside John longer than Ant has worked with Dec. Prior to forming Big Ideas Machine, they co-founded award-winning PR/Marketing agency dimoso.

Judit is a PR and marketing specialist with ten years of experience in communications, brand building and automation, previously working for global brands such as Amazon and Ricoh. Judit is passionate about content and storytelling, and its power to generate growth through inbound PR. And as if that isn't enough, Judit lectures at undergraduate and professional levels in her free time on topics including digital marketing, marketing automation, PPC, social media, SEO and analytics. What an overachiever, right 😉

Kirsten started out in the SaaS industry just over a decade ago, marketing super-sexy products like Helpdesk and Enterprise Content Management software for several large organisations. As a result, has uttered the words “digital transformation” more times than she cares to think about. Is now almost as obsessed with evangelising about Inbound PR as she is with true-crime podcasts. Almost.

Alex has a Masters in UX design and evaluation and 13 years experience in the games industry (*blows trumpet*). He has worn many metaphorical hats from blogger to journalist, to content marketer for and with companies including Ubisoft, Gameloft & Scopely, before winding up with us in PR. Will often credit his lack of local pop culture knowledge to “being in Japan” then, which is where he lived for 8 years.

Jack graduated from Cardiff University where he studied Journalism and Communications, and first became romantically involved with Red Bull. Has a genuine affinity for all things tech and knowledge of the industry which is suspiciously vast beyond his years.

Olivia has recently graduated from Durham University where she was studying Anthropology. While she is only just beginning her journey into the world of PR, she is keen to start fighting for client coverage as hard as she fights in her kickboxing and krav maga classes.
