“Charlie is that rare and enviable combination of relentlessly enthusiastic and entirely capable. He is every bit the keen learner, driven professional, and proficient expert that any employer would love to add to their ranks, with an exceptional warmth, friendliness and instinct to collaborate to boot.

Whether listening in, learning, lending a hand, or leading, Charlie is an invaluable addition. 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.

Beyond his role, Charlie is also a crucial part of our company culture, driving new initiatives for team wellbeing, establishing charity partnerships, and advocating for vital causes such as mental health awareness, neurodiversity, and climate change. There is no project I have worked on - whether internal, external, or extra-curricular - which has not been improved by Charlie’s involvement. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

TOM O’CALLAGHAN, HEAD OF DESIGN @ CITE

“Gutted you’re going Charlie, but I wish you all the best! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done on the Conscious Inclusion Council since you’ve been on it. For someone who was only on the Council for a matter of months, you’ve done a crazy amount and that’s testament to you, your work ethic and your moral compass.”

“I was tempted to cheat and look at what other people have said about Charlie. In the end I resisted. But I'm sure many people will have listed the same strengths as me because they're so apparent. Charlie is not a typical 21 year old. He's mature beyond his years and already has many years of experience managing clients, scoping new projects, building campaigns, writing briefs and quoting work.

Charlie is a strong copy writer and has taken complete ownership of many clients' content and social media campaigns. He even wrote our own tone of voice with very little push back from ownership, which is an achievement in itself. I've worked with Charlie across many client accounts including Sekonda, Accurist, Ward Recycling, Connect, Motimate, Puzzel and more that I've probably missed. He was a real asset to the team and will be missed by me personally and professionally.”

“Charlie has been a real guiding presence for me during my first steps as a developer. He has always taken the time to get to know how I work and what I need as a person within the company. As well as running the company’s entire social media presence, he has taken the lead in organising company-wide events such as the Cite Summer BBQ, Xmas Party, and our annual LAMP charity fundraisers, Both with his support for LAMP and his role as a mental health first-aider, Charlie has been integral to creating a supportive, positive environment which has been a pleasure to be a part of. I have personally worked on several projects with Charlie for companies such as the NHS, Kahoot, Sekonda, and Saint-Gobain. Always calm under pressure and easy to approach 😎, Charlie has been proactive in making sure I have everything I need as a developer to perform my job as efficiently and effectively as possible. Whether it is drinks 🍻 after work or a quick chat over tea ☕️, Charlie has been a popular and well-liked personality at Cite and he will be greatly missed at the company.”

“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.”

James Bull, Head of Web, Cite

“Charlie has been nothing short of a critical asset and general lifesaver while working together at Cite. 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. Keep up the good work!”

Stephen McCaroll, Account Manager, Cite

“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. Recommended.”

Andy Leitch, Director of Cite

“Charlie is an absolute joy to work with and I can honestly not speak highly enough of him. 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.

I have had the pleasure of working with Charlie on a mix of B2B and B2C projects and feel that I can not only put my trust in him to keep a project on track but also put forward sound recommendations and ideas. He has a firm grasp of social media platforms and advancements - implementing engaging and conversion driving campaigns.”

“We gave Charlie the task of shaking up, and shaping up, much of our digital presence, and that of some of our clients. He proved to be exceptionally skilled at this and very diligent. He introduced us to new tools that help us manage our online content far more effectively. In addition, we handed over pretty much all Social initiatives to Charlie. Again, he proved highly adept at creating and managing content for Swordfish and our clients. This foundation instantly gave our content creation skills more outlets - which is a really good thing. In all, Charlie was an excellent and greatly valued member of the Swordfish team.”

“During our time working together @ Un.titled, Charlie has been a pleasure to work with. He’s contributed (to meetings, workshops and content production), managed his tasks well (meeting every deadline and often going the extra step) and grown in confidence and ability. With a solid grasp of the social media landscape and digital tools, Charlie has always displayed a welcome eagerness and enthusiasm to do a good job.”

Brian Healy, Head of Un.titled

“Charlie was an absolute pleasure to work with during my time at Williams Commerce. He supported and helped me manage some of the agencies largest clients and always delivered excellent and accurate work. He takes a keen interest in all aspects of digital marketing, is very eager to continue to learn as much as he can and appears to have a genuine passion for what he does. He has the confidence to make suggestions and doesn’t shy away from giving his valid opinions when around more senior members of the team. Charlie has a very wise head on young shoulders and I thoroughly enjoyed my time working alongside him. Keep up the great work!”

His strong set of skills and excellent communication abilities make him a valuable asset to any team. He is a great team player and a joy to work with.

“An exceptional mindset and attitude, coupled with a passion for marketing and a commitment to excellence makes Charlie Wright a real catch for any organisation that is fortunate enough to have him in their team. He has managed to learn, absorb and acquire so much workplace knowledge and experience, while others of a similar age have barely graduated.

Charlie 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. I'm only sorry that I will no longer be working with this exceptional person and good character.”

Nevil Shute, Project Delivery, Cite

“Charlie’s 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. I hope we get to work together again in the future.”

James Watson, Motion Designer, Cite

“What can I say about young Charlie that has not already been said. Charlie helped me settle into my new role and was always happy to help. I saw him as a friend rather than a colleague, which makes it extremely disappointing to see him leave the company but I know he will go far. He already has vast amounts of experience in digital marketing and will be an invaluable asset to his next employer. His unflappable demeanour and willingness to help, is something I have learned from. Best of luck for the future Charlie.”

Rajat Sharma, Client Development

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. I’m confident that you’ll do great in you next role. Good luck 😊

Oda Mo, Chief Marketing Officer, Motimate

“You rarely come across standout talent like Charlie. I worked with Charlie 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. Charlie’s ability to juggle multiple projects is unlike any I’ve seen before. He lifted many weights off my shoulders! Charlie is highly knowledgeable on all things digital, creative and analytical. He has fantastic energy, which is highly contagious. I hope we get to work together again (soon), and I wish him all the best for the future.”

Rachael Russell, Marketing Manager (Netherlands/UK), Puzzel

“Having Charlie keeping an eye on the performance of our website, and flagging up issues that need addressing, allows us to get on with running our business without having to try and grasp areas of the internet that we don’t have the time to understand. It’s made a significant difference to the results we get from our web presence and gives us peace of mind that we’re keeping up with the ever changing world of the web.”

Rob Chapman, On The Edge

“My knowledge of web design is extremely limited, but when I saw the work of Charlie Wright I immediately considered him as a suitable candidate for the construction of my own. I am an upcoming filmmaker who needed a website which had simplicity, had all the relevant information needed for my production company and ways to get in touch. Charlie delivered on all these factors and even contributed ideas of his own to create a free-flowing, easy to use website. I am extremely happy with the end result.”

Alex Murray, Eyesight Productions

“An excellent personal service where nothing was too much trouble - resulting in a website that not only am I delighted with, but one that is having a positive affect on the growth of my business. Thank you.”
