Paul’s Story
Paul grew up in South London, UK and studied Journalism at the University of Winchester. During his time studying, Paul was instrumental in the creation of WINOL (Winchester News Online), a dedicated digital news service for the City of Winchester.
Working alongside celebrated author and journalist, Chris Horrie, and fellow students, Paul supported the creation of a groundbreaking digital news service that has since become a foundation of the BA and MA Journalism courses offered at the University of Winchester.
In 2010, Paul returned to the University of Winchester in the capacity of Visiting Lecturer to support the production of award-winning live coverage of the 2010 UK General Election. Running live, through-the-night webstream coverage of the election results, the production has been celebrated as a benchmark for journalism education.
In 2009, Paul took on the role of website manager for a large hair product distributor. During his tenure, Paul led the creation of a suite of websites dedicated to marketing and retailing several brands, all of which became successful revenue sources.
In 2010, Paul relocated to Guernsey and began his relationship with Indulge, first joining as Digital Marketing Executive. Returning to the UK in 2012, Paul subsequently took on senior roles for two different digital agencies before returning to Indulge to establish the agency’s UK studio in Woodstock, just outside of Oxford.
Since 2016, Paul has been a member of the Indulge board, helping the agency to reposition and establish itself as the leading digital agency operating in the financial services space. He is a leading expert in the field of enterprise SEO and a strong proponent of the emerging field of Artificial Intelligence Optimisation (AIO).
