\u201cI set up what was then called Emoderation in 2002, before even the launch of Myspace, having left a role running a web team at the BBC. I could see there was an opportunity to help brands initially protect themselves online and soon after to actually use the web to connect better with their consumers. I began gathering some other geeky, and rather lovely (primarily karaoke-loving) people to work with me and soon we made quite a name for ourselves, particularly in the child safety and brand protection arena. We helped a lot of brands through some tough times, and have learnt a lot about how to manage crisis, which is why I also created Polpeo<\/a>, our nifty sister company that creates very life-like and quite terrifying real-time crisis simulations.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_empty_space height=”2vh”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/12″ css=”.vc_custom_1547539766087{padding: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1547653193758{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

I was goalkeeper for England University hockey and it’s heavily influenced my management style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before founding this agency in 2002, I managed the Online Operations team at the BBC, where I supported the pioneering BBC online communities team.\u00a0<\/span>The way people communicate on social media still fascinates me as much as it did in the early days. I love that we’re still able to pioneer with our clients and I love the fast pace of change.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
