My story? Storytelling
I'm storytelling specialist, James Morton.
Yeah, I was that kid at school. Always dreaming up a story.
And from journalism to in-house communications to working on brands and campaigns at agencies, I’ve since been creating stories of all shapes and sizes for 20 years.
It was inevitable I’d end up in journalism (that’s why I studied a science degree, obviously). I started in sport, graduated to news and reviewed everything from festivals to theatre.
I found my home in a fire service comms team and started to understand how stories stretched well beyond press releases.
During five ace years with creative agency Alive With Ideas, stories powered every project - campaigns to brands to content.
And reading stories to my two daughters is easily the best training you can get (Stick Man, as you’re asking).In–house understanding. Agency know–how.
- Understanding of in-house comms challenges, with can-do creative agency energy.
- Wide knowledge and experience of sectors, with specialism in public sector and charities.
- Straightforward delivery and communication.
- Someone to enjoy chatting and having a brew with.
