I’ve worked in publishing for 18 years and I love it. Since I was a kid I wanted to work in magazines and following an award-winning career in publishing I switched fully to online in 2007. For me, web sites and apps are the magazines of tomorrow and what really makes them special, the people who come together to engage with them, is what drives my passion.
Many of the principles I learned from working at some of the best magazine and publishing houses in the UK are unrelentingly applied across Republic today. I also race BMX bikes.

As creative lead at Republic, I’m the guy responsible for ensuring we consistently conjure up brilliant new ideas and bring them to life effectively.

Our speciality at Republic is building long-lasting and deeply engaging owned-media channels for brands through authoritative industry-leading content and social media. Whether it’s editorial, video or social, I ensure everything we create is of a world-class standard. Alongside running creative at Republic and working on new business, I also direct our video production team and have been known to make the odd cake.

David Bowie’s personal chef once cooked me a Sunday roast, Peaches Geldof has mistaken me for a paparazzi, and I know where to find Lawrence Dallaglio’s favourite delicatessen.

But being Republic Publishing’s Development director isn’t all showbiz and glamour. I can also give you the nitty gritty on new site builds and redesigns, our in-house technologies and methodologies and how our highly-skilled editors, project managers, developers and journalists can transform your online presence for the better. And if you want to know what Ziggy Stardust has with his roast potatoes, just give me a shout.

I work with Nokia offices and partners across the world to help deliver foreign language editions of the site. These aren’t just translations, though as we’re keen to make sure that each site is customised to the local marketplace, media trends and expectations of what a Nokia blog should deliver. At the same time, we want to be sure that we’re delivering consistent messages, that we’re ‘on brand’ and that the content development strategy is consistent, ensuring that customers across the world get the same quality of experience.

In practise, that means heavyweight project management, lots of emails and phone calls, and trying to make sure that there’s always time for some writing.

At Republic, it’s my job to make sure that the thousands of pictures that my department take are all organised into a sequence that would make sense to a viewer . Then through a series of complicated processes and algorithms, the pictures are flashed up at a rate of 25 per second, in a remarkably frenetic slideshow. The speed at which the images are displayed gives the impression of movement and coupled together with relevant audio the experience can be exceptionally pleasing.

Basically, I make the videos… I also like long walks on the beach and queuing for roller-coasters that ultimately result in disappointment.

While a hefty contacts book is crucial to good journalism, my role at Republic Publishing goes beyond this. I am an Editor that is charged with creating unique content strategies to help brands better communicate with the wider world. This could be a one-off Facebook campaign, new website or even a coffee-table book – my job is to find the perfect communications solution for your brand. Right, let’s talk over a long lunch. I’ll tell you more about Harry’s balls.

Online journalism, the job I have been doing ever since I left university, didn’t really exist when I was still at school. That’s pretty remarkable, and an indication of how quickly the Internet has changed the world. It’s probably saved me from a life down the mines. OK, not really. When I bought my first ever mobile phone, a Nokia 5110, I would never have thought that one day I’d be working on their official blog.

Conversations hosts a global community of like-minded people who are interested in all things Nokia. They are knowledgeable, vociferous and passionate. I’m a little bit afraid of them, but that’s all part of the fun.

Being a staff writer at Republic Publishing means that you’ll often find me tapping feverishly at my keyboard trying to hit a deadline for Nokia Conversations. This finger-tapping, keyboard-prodding action produces the latest Nokia news in the form of interview pieces from Nokia employees and business partners, and reviews of the latest apps or games.

Writing for Nokia means that I’m usually surrounded by several Nokia phones which try their best to distract me throughout the day. Sometimes I lose the battle and you’ll find me ‘researching’ a new game or app.
