ABOUT CHRIS

I created this site to reflect on things I've learned over the years through business successes and mistakes. I've been documenting my journey and sharing my thoughts to aid other entrepreneurs in a similar position. My motivation comes from an unfortunate event in my life that drove me early on to want to succeed. 

​

To give some background on myself, I started my first business - Unipaper - in my second year of university, where I went on to graduate with a business marketing management degree. I scaled the business to attract over £2m in revenue with a team of 20 in central London and over 500 writers operating in 16 cities around the UK. 

​

During that time, the business launched 16 newspapers, printing over 250,000 copies per month with over 1 million monthly users on their online platform. Unipaper connected world-leading youth brands with the UK student market. During the first five years, we worked with over 1200 businesses and agencies with a head office on Oxford Street, London. 

​

The first five years of the journey were one with a number of challenges and an unusual story. It was far from perfect with mistakes costing hundreds of thousands.
 

After 5 years of scaling the business, I repositioned; launching We Are Media Group (WAMG). Within WAMG, WeAreMedia.London was created to provide performance marketing and full end-to-end media planning and buying for an exclusive group of national and local brands throughout the UK and Ireland. WAMG owns and operates a content site and social channels, reaching millions of people monthly.

​

As part of a collaboration with a leading UK property entrepreneur, I launched Oversubscribed in 2020 combining my understanding of connecting people online and my passion for helping entrepreneurs build their social presence. Oversubscribed helps award-winning entrepreneurs raise their profile online.
