Ian is an award-winning marketer who&amp;#39;s spent the last thirty + years championing a significant huddle of personality-laden underdogs in their single-minded quests to secure meaningful &amp;amp; disproportionate cut-through in an increasingly cluttered food &amp;amp; drinks marketplace.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having spent his formative years working for a variety of well-buffed &amp;#39;blue chips&amp;#39; and threadbare start-ups, Ian learnt how to decipher/side-step/jettison traditional agency &amp;#39;fluff&amp;#39; opting instead for simple, no-nonsense yet strategically sound pathways that allowed ambitious start-ups to enjoy significant breakthrough moments in an arena that still favours &amp;#39;establishment&amp;#39; brands armed with imposing war chests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As someone who&amp;#39;s spent time in sales and marketing functions, Ian has a well-rounded appreciations for the endless frustrations &amp;amp; dilemmas faced by so many well-meaning, fledgling businesses&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I started my career in journalism and was lucky that the content marketing revolution meant my particular skills - storytelling, audience engagement, creative idea generation&amp;nbsp;and so on - were soon in demand in the business world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From drawing out the heart of a brand&amp;#39;s message to creating powerful headlines and calls to action that drive... well, action... I help businesses stand back and ask the question, &amp;quot;So what?&amp;quot; It&amp;#39;s what separates indulgent copy from copy that hits the mark with target customers / clients and actually achieves a business goal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quality and precision are central to everything I do and&amp;nbsp;I have brought together a team of skilled professionals who have the same&amp;nbsp;level of commitment to doing their jobs to the best of their ability every day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m also passionate about flexible working and wellbeing in the workplace and am 100% committed to making sure that I do everything in my power to ensure that Rin Hamburgh &amp;amp; Co is a great company to work for as well as with.&lt;/p&gt;
