TESTIMONIALS
“Deep analytical skills, a talent for stakeholder engagement, and a brilliantly efficient can-do attitude”
I hired Simon to work in the Digital Content team at Icon. He was a fabulous addition to the team, bringing deep analytical skills, a talent for stakeholder engagement, and a brilliantly efficient can-do attitude. He was always up for a challenge and relished learning new skills—I don’t think there’s anything he wouldn’t have a go at. I recommend Simon without reservation to anyone looking for a top-notch content specialist—he is your man!

“A rare ability to think deeply and innovatively and consistently deliver”
Simon has the rare ability to think deeply and innovatively, and consistently deliver. All while being a nice bloke. Simon can steer a large team with competing priorities, tight deadlines and complex stakeholder relationships to deliver large content projects that exceed expectations on quality. He can fire up a creative team to do great work, and help them structure a plan so it’s done on time, on budget and to a high standard.
