5. bio
Dane is a keen writer and amateur musician, with an
interest in marketing and social media that stems from
his youth when he used Bebo, MySpace and a
GeoCities website to promote his music.
After studying creative writing at Roehampton
University in London, Dane graduated with a 2:1 and
began a career as a social media marketer, working on
international B2C brands at a PR and social media
agency before joining fst in the spring of 2013.
In 2014, Dane spoke about YouTube Success Stories for
Marketers at SMX Milan; he's also spoken at a number
of events in London, including at RealEx's Business
Bootcamp, and is also a performance poet and a
regular musical performer.
Throughout his career, he's written for
SocialMediaToday, AllFacebook and Memeburn and
been featured by the BBC on the radio and online as a
social media marketer. He's currently writing a novel
about a social networking start-up and carrying out
research for a non-fiction book called 'Social Paranoia'.
