• About James:

James Carew is the Digital Communication Manager at Tideway, a £4.2 billion construction project with the primary task of reducing sewage pollution and reconnecting London with the River Thames for leisure and business. Research has shown that 50% of Londoners are unaware of how much sewage pollution enters the River Thames each year. James has successfully headed a digital strategy to increase awareness of the project through innovative use of video and social media, and an industry-disrupting web series ‘Tunnel Vision’ taking audiences behind the scenes of this vast construction project covering 24 sites from west to east London. With a workforce of over 4,000, Tideway’s approach has been to tell the ‘Super Sewer’ story of its progress and people. James has almost two decades’ experience in journalism, content marketing, and PR in the construction, sports, and media industries.
