SVP, Social Media at iCrossing, a global digital agency
Brighton, United Kingdom
My professional interest and expertise is in the web: media, culture and commerce.
More generally I am interested in the wider social, political, economic and commercial implications of online culture.
I work for iCrossing, a major independent digital agency with 600+ staff in the UK, USA and Germany, where I head up the company's approach to social media.
I also write about media, marketing, communications and social media on my personal blog at www.antonymayfield.com and iCrossing UK's Connect blog (connect.icrossing.co.uk).
Professional experience:
Public relations consultant: the majority of my career has been spent as a corporate and brand communications specialist in the technology, media and telecom (TMT) sector.
Clients I have worked with include Vodafone, Sony PlayStation, Fujitsu Services, Fujifilm, Microsoft, Dell, Hewlett Packard and Reed Business Information and O2.
I hold a strong belief in the potential of communications to make a decisive contribution to the performance of businesses and organisations.
Agencies I have worked at in the past are Harvard Public Relations, part of Bell Pottinger Group, Midnight Communications, Text 100, AUGUST ONE Communications and Willoughby Public Relations.
