About.
INSPIRED BY PASSION.
I fell into the world of IT support, while in the background I was developing a keen eye for writing and photography.
Six years later and I finally found what feels enjoyable rather than a hard slog.
I set up a blog called Carwitter which rapidly morphed into a full-blown car news, review website with a team of like-minded writers.
Carwitter is my baby. It has taught me lots, allowing me to cut my teeth and develop my writing, photography, marketing and social media prowess.
Since I was a youngling I have always loved writing and photography. Often having a camera thrust at me during days out or at family events, no matter what I seemed to capture it always turned out rather well.
When starting Carwitter I never wanted to use the boring, generic press shots that manufacturers dish out. If I was doing this, I was doing it properly. Initially I started with my point and shoot, but soon upgraded to a mirrorless Sony SLR. From there my interest grew exponentially, trying my hand at multiple subjects – not just the automotive.
But running a media business these days means you need to know how to market it, where to find your audience and how to engage with them. I’ve learnt the hard way, all self taught, from the ground up.
I still actively manage and write for Carwitter, alongside pursuing a career in the freelance world helping other businesses with everything digital.

GREAT CONTENT MATTERS.
Everyone needs great, original content these days. People have become hoovers, sucking up everything new and fresh in sight.
01. WRITING.
Finding my feet as a freelance Automotive Journalist, I’ve taken my flair for writing and built a large resource of authentic content.
Covering a varied skill set, I produce original news, reviews and in depth features on all manner of subjects. Not just the automotive.
I contribute to a number of freelance outlets on a regular basis, I can be hired at short notice for copywriting, features, white papers and proofreading.
Having helped edit published works in the past, I relish the opportunity to give written word that final polish.
02. PHOTOGRAPHY
It was capturing cars from behind the lens that sparked my fire for photography. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words – this old adage is very true, especially when imagery goes hand in hand with online content.
It’s all about that perfect shot, the one that makes you really stop, look and say ‘wow’.
It’s about setting the scene, using the natural landscape or the urban environment around you to play with the look and feel of the shot.
So if you need press shots for your business, or just a personal brand photoshoot for your Insta, I can help.
03. MARKETING.
Working with start ups and fully grown businesses alike, I’ve helped re-brand and redesign their customer facing presence.
Whether it be through a fresh faced optimised website, logos, artwork, or the wording in an email.
I have a vast experience of end user wants and needs. From web design simplicity to customer engagement on social media.
04. SOCIAL MEDIA.
Everyone uses social media these days, but it’s not the silver bullet every marketer tries to tell you it is. Not every business needs a social presence.
I’ve helped launch, maintain and re-imagine social for numerous companies. From small businesses to multinationals.
It’s all about maximising your content and keeping your audience engaged.
Don’t have the time? Need someone to run the social side of your business? Stuck for ideas? Let me know.
Skills.
I’M A ONE STOP SHOP.
In developing the UK’s number one individual automotive blog I’ve discovered and honed a plethora of skills over the last nine years.
I quickly found that these are cross transferrable across every industry.

THE END USER ALWAYS COMES FIRST.
With everything I undertake, I always have the end user in mind. From aesthetically pleasing imagery, an easy to use UI, fresh logos, or building a social following the natural way.
Clients.
I MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
I could go on about how great I am even more, but here’s what some of the people I’ve worked with say.
“Adam listened to my requirements, went away and came up with a fresh new site that was exactly what I envisioned. The whole thing went from idea to live in less than a month.”
KEITH JANSZ
“In the day to day running of the business I never had time to sit down and actually look at our outgoing communications. After a full audit of our comms Adam rewrote everything with a professional, personable tone. With a few web UI changes thrown in we’ve seen business steadily increase.”
VARISSA
“Our old website hadn’t been updated in around 10 years, we desperately needed something that represented where we were at now. Working with Adam he developed the new site over a few months, totally rewriting the content from the ground up. Since going live we’ve seen a big increase in conversions.”
