About me
My name is Cameron Paterson and I began my career over 20 years ago as a full time newspaper and magazine journalist. I wrote for both regional and national newspapers, and became deputy editor of a business magazine for the health food trade with an International audience.
Later I ‘crossed the floor’ and spent more than seven years with a marketing and public relations agency, crafting copy for major organisations, editing corporate publications and conducting national media relations campaigns to raise the profile of clients and boost their bottom line.
At Stowe Family Law, the UK’s largest specialist family law firm, I edited the company’s influential family law news blog, producing and editing quality content for an International audience on a daily basis. I increased average monthly visitor numbers from 18,000 to more than 78,000.
