Will Ockenden
Director & wannabe flair bar tender
Will, who once appeared on breakfast TV with Take That, is a social media and PR specialist with 20 years of agency experience in the UK and Australia.
He started his career in traditional PR, before quickly recognising the hybrid role of PR/social media was the way to truly get people talking and achieve real business change. His diverse skill set ranges from social media conversation analysis, to online influencer outreach and engagement, community building, online crisis management, social media training and social media policy/strategy development. He has worked with many market-leading global brands, but is equally at ease helping the smallest of start-ups, with limited budgets and resource.
