    uniE613 Pubity Group, Senior Creative Producer (FTC)
    Most recently, I worked as Senior Video Producer at Pubity Group, one of the world’s largest Gen-Z social publishers. In this role, I led high-end viral video production, delivering content that reaches hundreds of millions. My responsibilities included managing complex shoots, collaborating with multiple stakeholders, and producing engaging content with global appeal.

    uniE613 TV, Radio Presenter
    TV, Radio, Livestream and Events Presenter with a proven track-record of working on successful shows across major channels and networks, as well as an accomplished live host. I’ve done a bit of everything, from hosting shows about saucy toys to trying to learn to be a sword-swallower on TV and spent years as an entertainment specialist covering movie premieres and doing celebrity interviews for ITV2 and 4Music; making Brad Pitt laugh, Simon Pegg angry and Rachel Weisz scared, before also moving into sport and current affairs. You can also see me on my 14th season of Sky1’s What’s Up TV and pretending to know about modern music on Pop Profiles on 4Music, as well as doing my serious face on Discovering Music and Unmuted on Sky Arts, where I have also presented items about a wide range of cultural issues from homelessness, racism and miscarriages of justice to Deep Fakes and Cancel Culture. I am also currently working on my own long-form documentary about drugs and mental health. I am a sport specialist and as well as talkSPORT, was a presenter across LoveSport Radio’s flagship programmes and Goal.com’s Premier League series’ The Pressure Challenge and That Weekend Tho’, which went out to their social media audience of over 22 million every week. I’m also a live event specialist, hosting shows for Dulux at Wembley Stadium, Volvo in Spain, Capital FM at London Fashion Week and am the resident live show host for Sky Vegas and Production Futures. If you want things to get a little more silly though, you can watch my award-winning comedy short The Return of Louis Horne, which is in production for an even more bizarre and unsettling sequel.
    uniE613 Podcaster
    Experienced and award-nominated (cringe!) podcaster, used to taking shows from concept to delivery. I am the host and creator of Row Z, a Football X Comedy podcast, about 90% appalling impressions of footballers and 10% analysis and grew to over 500,000 views a month after its launch in 2021 and was one of the only independent podcasts to be nominated at the 2021 Sports Podcast Awards, before being acquired by Fubar Radio, going out their audience of 400,000 monthly listeners. We also did Fubar’s World F*Cup podcast, a show that mixed a little football, plenty of silly stuff and a host of guests including former footballers, activists, musicians and the odd influencer and aimed to provide fans with analysis, a bit of trademark Row Z fun and investigate the issues surrounding Qatar 2022. I’m very proud to say that during the tournament we covered topics including: justice for migrant workers, dementia in football, women’s safety in Qatar, FIFA corruption, the environmental cost of the tournament, carbon neutrality, the One Love armband controversy and LGBTQ+ rights, Western culpability in propping up the Qatari regime, celebrity endorsements and more and we were delighted to receive national news coverage and more importantly by the great reaction from listeners and on social media. I was also one of the hosts for the launch of talkSPORT’s record-breaking podcast The Hit, where we averaged 60,000 downloads a day and went straight into the Top 2 of the podcast charts. I was the host of Road and Load’s irreverent trucking podcast For Truck’s Sake, where I tried to bring my trademark fun to a niche topic with a very passionate following, which is something I would love to do for more brands in more areas. Oh, I’m also a massive history nerd and like castles and old buildings, something I was able to indulge as the host of Yesterday’s News and the Viral History Podcast! So, all in all, pretty Rock and Roll aye?
