When people ask what I do, I like to tell them I’m a “marketing Swiss army knife.”

I’m one of the few senior-level marketers who are equally comfortable creating and optimizing campaigns as they are planning strategy, delivering a lean, full-stack marketing solution.

After more than a decade of climbing the agency ladder in the UK, I transitioned to fractional work to build something of my own. Now, I collaborate with businesses on a part-time or contract basis, bridging the gap between execution and strategy.

I work 100% remotely and have spent the past three years chasing my dream of visiting every country (100 down!). Discover how I balance work and travel in my guide to working with me.

Hear what my clients have to say

From small businesses to global brands, hear from the people who have worked with me in the past.

Scott is a multi-talented marketer who fits in perfectly within a growing business, being able to work both creatively and analytically to deliver results.

Phil Cabra-Netherton

Scott’s personality and ease to talk with anyone makes him a great conduit for curating the stories from our team, gleaning insights from engineers and project managers to anchor his independent research.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our strategic conversations and seeing his quick growth when it comes to positioning stories to benefit XWP, our partners, and most importantly our clients and their stakeholders.

Michelle Keefer

Scott is a force. I’ve watched him take rough outlines and loose ideas and turn them into industry-impacting thought leadership pieces. He’s action-oriented, able to manage a busy editorial calendar, and a humble team player.

Lance Robbins

The way Scott masters his role is a skill you can’t learn. You either have it or you don’t.

I would either hire Scott or work with him again on a team any day and without a second thought.

Both. I offer flexible engagement options to suit your needs, whether you require project-based work for specific initiatives or ongoing support through a contract arrangement, I’m happy to help.

How flexible is an engagement with you?

Engagements are highly flexible, ranging from a few hours per week to 160 hours per month, depending on your business needs and project requirements.

Which hours do you work?

Do you use AI in your work?

Yes, I integrate AI tools into my workflow to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. It helps speed up repetitive or time-intensive tasks enabling me to create a significant impact, even on a part-time basis.

That being said, AI is tool for productivity, not a replacement for hard work. When it comes to creative direction, strategic planning, and nuanced decision-making, a human element is still crucial to achieving exceptional results.
