Prior to his career in marketing, he was a journalist, and spent two years as news editor at Haymarket Media title Marketing, which was incorporated into聽北京赛车pk10 in 2016.聽
Purplebricks has worked with creative agency Snap, part of Chime Communications, since 2016. Snap created a campaign for the brand last summer to mark its sponsorship of Team GB in the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
In its most recent financial results, covering the six months from April to October 2020, Purplebricks reported revenue down 6% to 拢44.2m 鈥 but its earnings before tax and other deductions more than doubled year on year from 拢4m to 拢8.4m.
