With a long history of web development and technical leadership, I combine Drupal, marketing automation, leadership with the technical know-how.
In addition to Drupal, I have a strong interest in marketing automation. This means I can help clients with Drupal sites to leverage marketing automation. On my personal site, I regularly write about email marketing automation strategies.
I have 20 years commercial experience in the web industry, working with a range of national and global companies, such as Times Higher Education, The Economist, Haymarket and NBC. I’ve also worked with many small and medium size companies.
This wide breadth of experience gives me a lot of draw on while creating solutions to my clients problems. Here’s a summary of my experience:
- Led development teams to the successful launch of new high profile Drupal websites for Times Higher Education, Haymarket Media, The Careers and Enterprise Company, H Bauer Publishing
- Architected Drupal solutions for leading membership organisations such as The Marketing Society
- Built integrations between applications such as Drupal, Saleforce, Pardot, ConvertKit, Memberstack, Circle
- Funnel & automation strategy to help companies leverage ConvertKit & Pardot to build their audience, and nurture and convert leads
- Training of developers and editors in leveraging Drupal
- Author of two books teaching developers who to create custom Drupal modules

It’s rare to come across a standout Lead Engineer, Drupal, Agile and Scrum expert talent like Blair. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Blair on a new, high-profile, B2C proposition for THE. We had a fully-loaded backlog and an immovable deadline in addition to the challenge of 100% remote working (Covid) and multiple new recruits to the team. Blair’s strong technical and personal leadership enabled the team to form and perform at pace and successfully deliver the proposition. In addition, Blair’s warm personality and excellent communications skills within the team and across all stakeholder groups ensured the buy-in and support needed to ensure the team’s success. Blair would be an invaluable asset to any organisation.
