KIND WORDS
KIND WORDS

"You rarely come across standout talent like Charlie. I worked with him for over two years during his time at Cite. It’s unusual when working with an agency for them to feel like an extended team member. With Charlie, it felt just like that."
Rachael Russell, Marketing Manager (Puzzel)
-
"As a communicator, he is clear, confident, and concise. As a social guru, he is knowledgeable, flexible, and dedicated. As an account lead, he is dependable, driven, and decisive. And, most importantly, as a colleague, he is the perfect blend of leader, collaborator, and do-er."
Tom O’Callaghan, Head of Design (Cite)
-
“Working with Charlie has been fantastic. He’s consistently friendly, hardworking, and incredibly responsive, making collaboration smooth and easy. His openness to feedback and proactive approach have been key to the success of our website projects at Serpentine!”
Freya Jewitt, Senior Marketing Manager (Serpentine)

"Charlie is one of those rare professionals who blends deep expertise with an energy that lifts everyone around him. He brings ideas, humour, and positivity into every interaction whether through a sharp insight, a well-timed meme, or an infectious enthusiasm that makes work genuinely enjoyable.”
Carys Jeffrey, Account Director (Effect)
-
"...nothing short of a critical asset and general lifesaver while working together. A dark horse, in terms of knowledge and ability - he is not to be underestimated by his number of years on this planet compared to his colleagues and counterparts. No request or challenge was ever too big or small, his attitude towards work was always positive and he always came to the table with ideas and solutions if things could be done better. Anyone with Charlie on their team should be lucky."
Stephen McCarroll, Account Manager (Cite)
-
“I really, really enjoyed working with you. You are one of the best account managers I have ever worked with and working with you is fun. I know that dealing with a demanding client like me can be tough at times, but you always handled everything in the possible way and I knew the tasks were in safe hands!”
Oda Mo, CMO (Kahoot!)
-
“Thank you so much for everything you’ve done on the Conscious Inclusion Council. For someone who was only with us for a matter of months, you’ve done a crazy amount and that’s testament to you, your work ethic and your moral compass.”
James Bagan, Strategy Director (McCann)
-
“Charlie is one of those individuals who never shouts about his work — yet continuously performs miracles. Time and time again, I’ve watched him deliver incredible work with quiet dedication, all whilst staying calm, approachable, and supportive no matter how challenging things got. It’s this mix of composure and kindness which makes him so loved by both his clients and his peers.”
Paul Mckay, Principal Designer (Effect)
-
"It’s been a pleasure working with Charlie these past couple of years at Cite. He has demonstrated a resourcefulness and maturity beyond his years, and is always prepared to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in. Charlie has progressed quickly within the agency, shown great initiative and can be relied upon to get stuff done, when you need it, with minimum fuss."
Andy Leitch, Co-Owner (Cite)
-
"One of the most enthusiastic, dedicated and motivated people I’ve had the pleasure to work with. He gets the job done, hits deadlines and ensures both clients and colleagues are kept up-to-date and happy at all times. Always looking for ways to learn and improve what he’s doing, Charlie welcomes feedback and thrives on new experiences. His enthusiasm extends beyond work too, organising charity events, and socials and keeping the memes flowing on Slack.”
James Watson, Motion Designer (Cite)
-
"An exceptional mindset and attitude, coupled with a passion for marketing and a commitment to excellence makes Charlie a real catch for any organisation that is fortunate enough to have him in their team. He is a diamond in the rough and will provide all those he collaborates with - both colleagues and clients - with an insight and energy that will be fundamental to growth and success."
Nevil Shute, Project Delivery (Cite)

"...his personable, cheerful attitude both towards our clients and around the office has been a major boon to the company; and has been a great comfort to me personally during stressful periods of work. His presence is going to be greatly missed!”
Nic Holmes, Frontend Developer (Effect)

When working on a project Charlie’s the first to provide support when needed and his communication is exactly where you need it to be, with everyone involved clearly informed. This shows in the extremely positive feedback he has received from the clients he works with."
Sam Clay, Account Manager (Cite)

“It's been my pleasure to work alongside Charlie for a couple of years now, and to see him grow in confidence and ability to become the professional he is today. His rapport with clients is second to none, and it's those personable skills, on top of his enthusiasm and steadfast organisation, that makes him so well suited to the world of client services.”
