Hi Jonathan. Are you really one of the few people who can call themselves a Londoner?
Yes indeed! I'm a cockney, born within the sound of Bow bells.
Cool. What led you to Whitewater? A long held ambition to work on DM in the charity sector and in particular on an animal welfare account.
Great stuff. So what were you doing before? I started my working career at a PR agency working on charity accounts, where I found I loved the charity but loathed the PR! At the time there weren’t any specialist ‘charities and non-profits’ DM agencies like Whitewater, so I decided I’d develop the skills I’d need in the commercial sector. I spent many years working on everything from mobiles to mortgages and from frozen food to family holidays, before jumping at the chance to come home to Whitewater.
Well we're really glad to have you. What are you working on?
Happily, I am working on the RSPCA account, so a real dream job!
We aim to please. Any special talents we should know about?
An ability to mimic the hoots of an owl with my bare hands!
Handy. What else do you do? I am an occasional DJ, full-time Flaming Lips fan and adoring father of my son Caiden, who I'm proud to say is following my love of the better things in life - football and music.
Sounds like you're pretty sorted then. Thanks for talking to us.
Welcome.
