Simon Wakeman Welcome to my website - I've been on the web since 2001 and blogging about marketing and public relations since early 2006.

I'm currently Head of Marketing at Medway Council as well as a freelance consultant working in marketing and PR.

Simon is an analytic and strategic thinker who is able to communicate his ideas and insights clearly. He was able to bring unique and important perspectives on customer touchpoints to the various teams we worked within…and was always able to motivate for successful new customer programs based on robust data.
