5 new faces join Axon Garside

Olivia Mason, Emma Bilardi, Danny Lawless, Natalie Simm and Becky Jamieson join the Manchester-based digital growth agency.

It’s been a busy six months in the Northern Quarter office as Axon Garside has adapted its  business model to accommodate its growing client roster.  

They are now one of the few HubSpot Growth Agencies in the UK to offer support in all areas of the HubSpot platform.

As they pioneer this change, five new faces are welcomed into the office to help clients achieve their growth goals. 

Welcoming these new additions to the team is Managing Director Ian Guiver, who commented:

“I’m so pleased to see the arrival of Olivia, Emma, Danny, Natalie and Becky. These individuals will be a great asset to the team, each offering impressive skill sets and boatloads of experience. This growth signals the industry-wide increase in demand for inbound services, and will allow us to continue working hard to meet the needs of our clients.” 

Olivia Mason, Marketing Manager

Olivia Mason joins Axon Garside as the brand new Marketing Manager. With over seven years experience in the marketing sphere, Olivia’s an all round digital marketing pro, with specialist experience in technical SEO and PPC.

Following the amazing growth in their client roster, Axon Garside needed someone able to give their undivided attention to the business’ own marketing efforts. Olivia’s analytic and creative approach will develop Axon Garside’s overarching strategy and aid them in achieving amazing results.

“Axon Garside has so much marketing potential. I’m looking forward to testing my skills and working with the team to increase our brand awareness, helping more b2b businesses throughout the UK with our services.”

Emma Bilardi, Head of Content

The content team at Axon Garside are thrilled to welcome Emma Bilardi who will be taking on the newly-created role of Head of Content. 

With a background in journalism and over a decade of copywriting and editorial experience, Emma’s credentials make her the perfect candidate to support the content team in crafting creative brand stories and flawless copy. 

The new role of Head of Content was created to strengthen copywriting processes and solidify style guides across client accounts—as well as AG’s own marketing. Emma’s vast experience combined with her passion for storytelling make her a valuable addition to the business, and the team can’t wait to see the improvements she'll make.


When asked about her new role, Emma said: 

“I'm thrilled to have joined AG at such an exciting period of growth. I'm really looking forward to working with an ambitious and creative team to craft compelling stories for our diverse roster of clients.”

Joining from an in-house position for a healthcare company, Danny had to say this: 

“I’m really looking forward to this next step in my career. I’ve already learnt so much in the last few weeks, and I can’t wait to achieve results for our clients.”

NAtalie Simm, Inbound Marketing Consultant

Natalie Simm joins Axon Garside as an Inbound Marketing Consultant. Previously working for another HubSpot Agency in a similar role, Natalie’s interests lie in how things work - or occasionally, why they don’t.

“I’m a very analytical person, using information to optimise strategy in order to get the best leads and ROI. I’m excited to meet the clients and get stuck in with the team at Axon Garside!”
