The CMA Awards showcase the construction and built environment sector's effectiveness in marketing, raising the profile of marketing professionals and their achievements.

As Founder and Managing Director of The Think Tank, B2B Marketing Agency of the Year 2024 and Construction Marketing Agency of the Year 2023, I lead the business helping our clients to deliver successful branding, marketing and PR initiatives. Having worked in marketing for more than 35 years I have had the pleasure of working with businesses around the world in many industry sectors but with a focus within Construction. At The Think Tank we focus upon business to business integrated marketing, incorporating branding and PR. I am proud to have built an outstanding team of marketing professionals to support the needs of our clients. A team that has won many awards for their creativity, strategy and marketing insight. Personally I have spoken at several conferences on marketing topics, moderated panel debates and research groups and been interviewed on broadcast media about marketing and branding topics. And now I am pleased to host the B2B Marketing Podcast, 'Born to B2B: Adventures in B2B Marketing'

As MD of Built Environment and Architecture Media I work with the talented and creative teams behind Architecture Today, School of Specification, RegenerativeArchitecture.org, CMA Awards and the Construction & Built Environment Marketing Network. My track record in architecture and built environment media - and the industry more widely - spans over 30 years, continuously creating opportunities for championing and supporting our professional communities as they have grappled with the challenges and opportunities of our times. I still relish the challenge of reinventing established media brands in response to the changing needs of our audiences and the realities of a fast-changing media landscape and have overseen the successful relaunch of The Architects’ Journal, RIBA Journal and Architecture Today as multi-media content platforms as well as notable launches such as AJ 40 Under 40, UK Architecture at MIPIM and the World Architecture Festival.   I became an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2023.

I am a Director at Built Environment and Architecture Media Ltd (BEAM), which includes the operational responsibility for the Construction and Built Environment Marketing Network and the CMAs. I have held senior publishing and journalistic roles at many leading business-to-business publications and have wide experience of managing publishing and editorial teams in many markets, including civil engineering, manufacturing, telecoms, business travel, health and logistics My track record ranges widely outside core magazine publishing to encompass the launch and development of conferences, exhibitions, on-line offerings and awards as well as book publishing, training programmes and bespoke “networking” events for specific markets. Following a number of years on the Board at Emap Construct, the publishing group that included AJ, Construction News and NCE, I led the launch of Emap Communications’ first global summits – World Retail Congress and World Architecture Festival. I then worked as a consultant for many companies, including two years as the Independent Chair of RIBA Journal’s Editorial Panel As Editor of Local Government Chronicle in the 1990s I spent a year in South Africa launching a weekly national news magazine for senior local government officials at the invitation of the ANC as part of the post-Apartheid reconciliation process.

With over 15 years’ experience of strategic marketing in the built environment, I have previously worked at some well-known names within the industry. I’ve had an exciting career so far, working on research projects to unlock growth for companies, implementing strategies for international markets throughout Europe as well as developing and launching products through multi-channel campaigns.  Sustainability is a big passion of mine – the ever increasing threat of the climate emergency means that sustainable thinking needs to be at the heart of all strategies. I have experience in reviewing a company’s carbon impact by looking at scopes 1 -3. With this data, I was able to contribute to creating roadmaps and translate them into successful commercial strategy. I’m thrilled to have founded Urban Fox Marketing, which is all my passion and knowledge (and curiosity) poured into a marketing consultancy, tailored to each client.
