James Akpofure –
Turning Ideas into Results

I’m passionate about using digital marketing to grow businesses. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience in e-commerce growth and am currently exploring how Google Ads can help small service businesses thrive in the UK. I love creating meaningful connections, helping businesses succeed, and turning ideas into impactful results.

Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s in Digital Marketing at Northumbria University, combining hands-on experience with a strong academic foundation. In 2025, I’m eager to focus my energy on helping service businesses grow and achieve their full potential.

TESTIMONIALS

Sasha Grey

Fashion Weekly Editor

Julian has been our ace card for a while now – he's dependable, always delivering his work on time. The quality of his work is of such high standard that we often don't need too many layers of edits to get the first draft into the published version. He helps us cover meaningful stories with a distinct voice, while also working as a team player. If you're looking for a quality writer, Julian's one I'd vouch for.

Martha Smith

World Politics Editor

Julian is one of those writers who are able to distinguish their own voice throughout any piece of work, without losing the soul of the publication itself. He's able to pick up on some of the finer nuances of the political climate and express them in words that are easy to comprehend and digest by many audiences. He's a delight to work with, and such a nice person, too.
