About Joseph Carey

I’m Joseph Carey, a marketing professional based in Shropshire, England. Most of the time I’m also the one behind the camera: I plan the content, shoot and edit the video, take the photographs, make the motion graphics and build the websites. Some people know me as Joe.

It started in a photography studio in Shropshire in 2019, setting up shoots and editing in Photoshop and Lightroom. I went on to take A levels in Film Studies, Photography and Business at Shrewsbury Colleges Group.

Then I worked in some very different rooms. In Gibraltar I spent two years creating content for damex.io, a fintech in crypto and digital payments, where social engagement rose 50% in six months and the X account passed 20,000 followers, and ran the videography and social for the Damex Pro League, a professional basketball event whose short-form coverage passed 311,000 views on Instagram Reels. In Perth, Western Australia, I was a Digital Asset Coordinator with Fortescue’s global communications team, on the company’s first company-wide digital asset library: more than 65,000 files and 20TB of video, photography and campaign work, brought into one place people could search. Back in England I produced content for a car retail group in Stoke-on-Trent.

Behind the camera I’ve photographed the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward, at the NEC in Birmingham, the fashion designer Karen Millen and Theo Paphitis of Dragons’ Den, on stage at an expo in London. In sport, I’ve done a photo shoot and video for Team GB Junior Roller Derby at Lilleshall National Sports Centre.

Today my day job is leading digital media and content for a business in Shropshire, and in September 2026 I started a BSc (Hons) in Digital Marketing at Aston Business School as a degree apprenticeship, running to 2029. Along the way I completed the Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award.

When the camera’s off I’m usually building something: this website, Gren, the writing app I use every day.

The substance was always there. I make sure people can see it.
