About Me

I'm a Direct Response Marketer and Copywriter. And British.

(some things can be forgiven)

My Experience

My clients over the past 10 years… from different industries, environments, and countries… bring me fulfilling memories of campaign planning and implementation…

From 2006 to the start of 2007 I enjoyed 14 months in South East Asia working freelance from my laptop.

If I am to pick one single client out of them all as the highlight of my career so far, it would be the relaxed Australian CEO of an Advertising Agency I was retained by during my Thailand travels.

I love international lifestyle.

I love the rich colourful experience of travel. And the psychological freedom it gives for writing, as well as keeping up to date on the latest important changes in online (digital) marketing. All helpful for effective flexible marketing and copywriting strategies.

With a professional background including investment banking, large construction sales, personal finance, health, network marketing, affiliate marketing, direct marketing, and productivity management, I have a broad base of experience. (see more about my previous clients).

My Purpose

To help bring about a free world through marketing.

I believe in the philosophy of Ayn Rand. The Republic suggested by the US Founding Fathers. And the business application of a modern Libertarian Capitalist movement.

To contribute my part to that great vision of societal liberation is my greatest overall personal mission.

My Values

Individuality. Liberty. Health. Creativity. Happiness. Love. Children.

Always learning. Always improving my insight about our world. Always increasing my effectiveness in life generally and my approach to marketing specifically.

• Business for me is a vehicle through which to develop and to contribute.
• Marketing is the pinnacle of business application.
• And copywriting is the pinnacle of Marketing.

Copywriting is the process of 1. understanding, and 2. communicating, to the right people, in the right place, at the right time.

And it's important for me that the things I market, and the way in which I market, contribute to my own and everyone elses wealth, health, power, and happiness.

My Objectives

To work on different marketing projects worldwide, traveling every so often, living through my values towards my purpose.

Ideally I will spend some time working in Dubai. Possibly around 2010. I'd also like to work in emerging economies such as China and Brazil.

And at some point along the journey, to meet my wife and work from home, and raise children.

My Projects

Currently working with Database Group Interactive, an Email Service Provider in London UK, as Marketing Manager.

Working on various online marketing projects of my own design.

Trying to find an efficient healthy balance between work, rest and play.

Which brings me too…

My Pleasures

Traveling South East Asia for 14 months from Jan 06 to Mar 07 was very special.

Working from a laptop. Enjoying tropical leisure time. Meeting new people. Learning a new language (I was in Thailand most of my time so can now hold a basic conversation in Thai).

Yes the picture is of me. Black shorts. White gloves. Big Headache.

Back in London, what I do for fun: read, work on projects, and spend time with special people.

My Gratitude

Around 1996 I received a strange direct mail promotion offering a book on business, health, personal success, romance, and how politics was suppressing the advance of technology. I was introduced to the Neo-Tech World, and am so grateful to the late Frank R Wallace for his piercing insight and tireless contribution to Man's evolution.

The Neo-Tech concepts were easy for me to relate to. And they have become a key tool within every thread of my life. And a secret to my success so far. And the foundation of my future success. I am often praised for my talents, knowledge, intelligence, discipline, and more… and they ask where it comes from. My recommendation is always the same: Get hold of Neo-Tech / Neothink literature. Ignore the ignorant naysayers. And take advantage of the Neo-Tech concepts in their own life.
