After graduating from the University of Westminster, Oli was discovered and picked up by legendary music producer Cameron Mcvey (Massive Attack, Portishead, Neneh Cherry).

Cameron set up a studio for Oli in his North London home where he lived and worked on his skills across production, bringing in a wide range of artists for collaborations and artistic development.

After only a year, Oli branched out to create a setup of his own and was soon hired to manage the social media on The X Factor representing the 16 finalists, including global superstars Little Mix. He then went on to work in both studio environments working with artists on creative and artist development, predominantly under renowned A&R consultant Felix Howard (Calvin Harris, Lana Del Ray), as well as in social and digital marketing with agencies such as Charm Factory and long-time collaborator Be-Hookd Digital. Past and present artists include Lang Lang, Jamie Cullum, The Script, Tinie Tempah, and Sean Paul, as well as record labels such as Sony Music, Warner Music, Deutsche Grammophon, Island Records, and Decca.

Oli has also created and ran a series of highly successful live music, fashion, and networking events across London, including a two year run with Qbic Sessions in the East End’s creative hotspot of Shoreditch.

Ellie’s background reflects a solid combination of creative and strategic expertise. After graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, she enhanced her skill set by pursuing a marketing master’s at the University of Reading. This combination of arts and business education enabled her to transition into the digital marketing world. Her role at an award-winning social media agency, leading strategy for high-profile music artists and brands, developed her understanding of audience behavior, digital trends, and the evolving music industry landscape. Here she crafted campaigns that were both innovative and data-driven, resonating with diverse audiences and driving measurable results.

Building on her success at the agency, Ellie transitioned into a freelance career, leveraging her experience and industry connections to work with high-profile artists.
