About Me

Originally from the UK, I am a senior public relations executive based in Hong Kong with three decades of experience. See the Experience tab for a list of clients I've had the privilege to work with.

Founder of Eight PR 

In 2021, I founded Eight PR, a PR agency in Hong Kong, providing power teams and fractional public relations, media relations, content writing, and B2B introductions.

Eight Insights Blog

My new blog, Eight Insights (www.eightinsight.com), is for posts about self-drive holidays in China and on other matters that interest me.

Funds Sniper Ambassador

In a personal capacity, I promote Funds Sniper (www.fundssniper.com), a search engine for easy, economical access to 18,000 private equity & venture capital funds and 20,000 contacts. Use code: amb-ogFFA for a subscription discount.

Frequent China Visitor

I have visited many places in China by bus, train, high speed train, ferry, and plane. My first solo trip to China was circa 1985 (train from Hong Kong to Guangzhou). I am a frequent driver in Guangdong, Greater Bay Area.

Media

I was interviewed by RTHK, Hong Kong's public broadcaster, about self-drive holidays to China from Hong Kong. The South China Morning Post interviewed me about where to eat in Hong Kong.

eBook Author

I have written and self-published ebooks on PR which are available in online bookstores and libraries.

Tech

I built, launched and manage Eight PR's website in 2021, generating 260,000 impressions annually. I used a modem in 1994 in the workplace. I built my first website in 2009 using rudimentary self-build tools. I write about PR tech tools and became interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence a decade ago, specifically in the work applications area.
