Russell’s career journey has provided him with a range of synergistic publishing and marketing skills. Following five years as an editor with Macmillan Publishers, he joined a London-based marketing and PR consultancy. Here, he extended his copywriting and technical writing skills, in addition to creating and driving corporate PR strategies for a wide range of international clients. His role with BANG enables him to combine all his skills acquired to date, as project manager and in-house copywriter.

“Whilst an essential part of project management is to consistently ensure that all my client projects are to schedule, to budget and exceed expectations, the real challenge is to get under the skin of a client, absorbing their values, identity and true personality, to strategically inform all aspects the client’s communications.”

Russell has managed many projects, including those on behalf of the Department of Health, COI Communications, NHS Direct, Centrex (formerly National Police Training), The Environment Agency, Trade Partners UK, and the Home Office.

Outside of Bang, Russell has (fortunately) very few interests. He’s immune to sport, finds eating tedious, doesn’t drive or know anything about cars and hates shopping. Consequently, he has very few friends, with whom he goes to diverse, some would say unlistenable, live music events. When not listening to music, Russell is working or sleeping.
