With the best part of 10 years retail experience & 5 years marketing consultancy for blue chip companies like Alcatel, First Group, Hewlett Packard & TNT, I ventured into mobile marketing with ZagMe in 2000.

This includes using SMS, voice, ringtones, applications, video, MMS, mobile web sites, games & more. Clients include Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Bauer, News International, ENO, Danone & various retailers, brands & agencies.
I offer consultancy and training on all aspects of mobile media, advertising & marketing. I run the mobile marketing modules for the Institute of Direct Marketing's courses & run bespoke courses for clients. Recent clients include Etisalat & NewsCorp. -
