Portfolio & Testimonials

My Work

Since going freelance full time, I have been privileged to work with people and organisations from a wide range of industries. In 2024 I worked a great deal with the UK Space and Science Sectors, creating content and managing social media campaigns for organisations like International Moon Day, The Earth Space Sustainability Initiative, in conjunction with science communications company Expanded Universe.

I have also been working in the UK Theatre sector with theatre company Wild Geese, consulting on the production of their most recent research workshop and helping them to create multimedia assets to promote their ongoing work.

Finally, I have recently started work on 1.5m New Homes, the Local Government Challenge. This campaign, founded by journalist Toby Fox, is an ongoing project consisting of video, audio and live streamed work examining the challenges facing local governments in meeting the government’s target of 1.5m New Homes, interviewing employees from different local authorities all over the UK each month.

As we enter 2025, as well as my continued work producing podcasts for various businesses across the UK and my ongoing work with 1.5m New Homes, I am focusing on creating more original narrative content. I have several shows in pre-production in fiction and non-fiction, and am excitedly finding new ways to build visual content into my business and workflow.

Sequel Pitch

Sequel Pitch is a podcast where four film fanatic friends review a movie that doesn’t have a sequel, then have a competition pitching their ideas for a follow-up movie. I created Sequel Pitch with three friends from university and it has been running since February 2021. I composed the theme music and interstitials, and have been the sole editor since launch

Stupid Hearts Club

Stupid Hearts Club is the mad brainchild of Nico Tatarowicz, a comedian, musician and TV writer. Nico launched Stupid Hearts Club as a patreon exclusive, and we worked together making the podcast available for public consumption whilst ensuring that there was also a strategy to make sure that his patrons still felt special. Since making the back catalogue public, I have come on board to distribute the podcast, and have been working with Niko to help him develop a range of other shows.

A Christmas Carol

Testimonials

Maria Costa, Bookcase Kidz

I’d wanted to create a podcast with the children I teach for ages. I finally got round to doing it, but once it had been recorded, I had no idea where to start with editing, adding jingles, making it clearer, etc, so I left it and hoped something or someone would magically come along and help me with it – and they did!

A year later, I learnt about Drew, who edited, sharpened, added a jingle and generally made it sound like a real podcast – I felt quite tingly when I heard it for the first time!

To top it off, Drew did it all in under two weeks for a very reasonable price. Not only that, but he was super easy to communicate with, open to my own ideas, always responded to emails in good time, was non-judgemental and, generally, a lovely person to do business with.

I no longer feel daunted by the prospect of creating another podcast and I won’t go to anyone else now. Thanks for helping me and a class of very grateful children, Drew!

You did a great job with the episode! The sound quality was great, and it flowed perfectly.

O.S. Marrow, Author Elysium Falls: Loopkeeper Book 1

I’ve just finished reviewing the audiobook files and can say you’ve done a fantastic job bringing the story to life — thank you!
