I am a strategic planner at Ogilvy Cape Town, and a Marketing Fellow at WPP. Before moving into communications and strategic planning my professional training was in linguistics and lexicography as an editor on the Oxford English Dictionary, and I have taught English language and linguistics at Oxford University and the Open University in London. My research interests are in English linguistics and lexicography, especially the history and development of English; sociolinguistics; and the application of linguistics to marketing communications and analytics.
I have a brief CV/resumé here. You can find me on Facebook and LinkedIn, but email is the best way to contact me.
I write a blog, Wordcrunching, on language and communications. I also keep a data scrapbook here and links on Delicious. I use Twitter to follow interesting people and find (and sometimes share) useful things.
I look like this.
