Hello, I am Jez and this website is me

I’m a twenty-something-year-old living in London and working in digital (yep, one of those..). My journey to where I am now started in 2008, completing a degree and nurturing a love for the web and everything digital

I’m currently head of social media at Lucid Online, a UK youth entertainment communications specialist, and have been fortunate to be a part of the company’s considerable growth over the last 18 months through expanding a team and introducing new verticals. Among my role of looking after a team, I’m responsible for strategy, planning, analysis and implementation of social media & digital campaigns, as well as taking care of a creative department, delivering web and media property and platform solutions.

I’ve been fortunate to be involved with some great campaigns over the last 12 months, from The Wanted, David Guetta, Mark Ronson, The Script and Massive Attack; which was rounded off last year with me picking up a Music Week nomination for ‘Best Digital Tool’.

Here I’ll be writing about some of what I’ve been up to, what I’m learning and some industry insight and challenges. I also write a bit over on the Lucid digital blog on some campaign specific bits.

Away from work I try to live simply, I have a handful of best friends to keep me in check, I’m a family guy (and a mummy’s boy), and you’ll most probably find me on Xbox thriving on a gaming passion over the gym (i’m not that fat).

Anyway, maybe I’ve got something to say or share which will bring you some value or chuckles. Welcome to ‘me’ – me@jezhughes.com
