Hi there, I'm Liam.

I'm a social & creative specialist with a love for helping brands exist & engage with purpose.

With a background in clarinet performance, I'm currently a Cultural & Social Insights Strategist at We Are Social. I thrive at the intersection of data, insights, and creativity; combining my background in creative/performance industries with strategic thinking to empower social & content executions for my clients.

Previously, I was the Social, Community & Content Director at Resolve Content, where I led the Social & Community, Content, Production & Creative Operations teams. I strategised, planned, project managed, optimised and analysed campaigns for clients across social media & traditional content verticals, as well as collaborated on wider communications & media strategies. Using social listening insights and industry-leading tools to generate recommendations, we generated purposeful campaigns and creative deliveries for clients' campaigns.

As part of my role, I also managed and mentored a junior team of social media specialists, content coordinators, designers, producers, community managers, and interns, ensuring a high-quality and consistent content production approach across multiple platforms, channels and creative outputs.



A highlight of the role was delivering a pro-bono brand campaign for Batyr, where we developed and delivered a contextual brand campaign to encourage young people to speak out about their mental health. This campaign had over 300 total assets, with 175+ for contextual OOH placements alone!).
