Testimonials

“I had the pleasure of working with Simon at CommuniGator and Spotler, where he led the marketing function through an important period of growth and change.

Simon is a commercially focused and highly experienced marketing leader with a strong ability to connect strategy with execution. He built and developed a broad marketing function covering demand generation, brand, digital, content, events, product marketing and marketing operations, while ensuring activity remained closely aligned with sales and wider business priorities.

What stood out most was Simon’s ability to bring structure, clarity and commercial discipline to marketing. He introduced stronger reporting, measurement and processes, improved alignment across teams and consistently focused on delivering meaningful pipeline, revenue and brand impact.

Simon was also a collaborative and supportive colleague who built strong relationships across the business. He brought energy, sound judgement and a practical approach to complex challenges, and was a valued member of the leadership team.

I would highly recommend Simon to any organisation looking for a strategic, hands on marketing leader who can build teams, drive growth and make a genuine commercial impact.”

“Simon was a great webinar host for the collaboration between Exposure Ninja and Spotler, hosting a series of three live webinars on AI Search topics with energy and professionalism. He handled the introductions, book ended my talk perfectly, and kept the momentum high throughout each session. Simon also hosted Spotler’s highest sign up webinar with over 400 registrations, making it a standout success for both companies! He was a pleasure to work with.”

“Simon did an exceptional job as marketing assistant at The BCI. He is a careful, smart, goal oriented individual. He can work very well on his own initiative and excelled at implementing the marketing plan and working on specific projects.

This was evident when arranging contra deals with event organisers (national and international), managing and producing the website content and the monthly newsletter, and helping organise the annual symposia for the BCI community. I can highly recommend working with him.”

“I had the pleasure of working alongside Simon for nine years at Spotler UK, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most talented marketers I’ve worked with.

Simon is a genuine lead generation expert. His seminars were a highlight every time: they attracted exactly the right prospects, and, crucially, they converted. He understands how to turn events, content and brand into real pipeline, and he never loses sight of the commercial outcome.

Just as importantly, working with Simon was probably the only time in my career I’ve seen marketing and sales truly work together towards a common objective. He made it one team, with one goal, and the results showed it.

What really sets him apart is that he isn’t afraid to try something new. My favourite example: he once sent prospects a single shoe in a box to, quite literally, get a foot in the door. It was memorable, it made people smile, and it opened conversations that a standard email never would have.

Any organisation looking for a senior B2B or SaaS marketing leader who combines creativity with a relentless focus on revenue would be lucky to have Simon. I really enjoyed working with him and would jump at the chance to do so again.”

“Simon is one of the most well rounded marketers I have had the pleasure of working with. His pragmatic, yet creative ideas have proved highly valuable on the many projects we have worked on together, both at Oxford Innovation and Huntswood.”

“I worked for Simon for just over two years, and after spending a considerable amount of time outside of professional and office environments his friendly management style was a relief to find.

Simon helped to guide and mould my design and creative skills to best serve myself and Huntswood. Always supporting me and driving me towards personal growth as well as the growth of the company.

He provided me with enough room to work and deliver projects independently but always had a firm hand in how they were approached and would continue to support without the need for my asking.

In a relatively small team that covers such a wide variety of activities in the marketing and creative fields, our working dynamic was always well led by Simon. A very level headed and fair manager that I would look forward to working for again given the opportunity.”

“Simon was a real pleasure to work with. He was an asset to the marketing team and did an exceptional job looking after the marketing for a number of the Innovation Centres.

He consistently produced high quality work often under tight deadlines. In particular his work in developing the Design Challenge was outstanding and showed he can develop innovative ideas into a deliverable marketing plan. His knowledge of traditional and new media methods is impressive; especially web development and email marketing. He is also a very creative individual, taking all artwork in house, something we have continued since his departure.

Simon was also a friendly, fun member of the team and it was a delight to watch him grow in confidence and stature in his time with Oxford Innovation.”
