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

Throughout his career, he's written for
SocialMediaToday, AllFacebook and Memeburn and
