Daniel Somers
Chief Executive Officer @ MANUP?
About
I accidentally started a men’s mental health charity.That probably sums me up better than any polished LinkedIn bio ever will.I’m the founder and CEO of MANUP?, a national charity trying to change how people understand and respond to men’s mental health.Not by shouting “men should talk”.Most men are already talking in one way or another.The problem is most people are not listening properly.MANUP? funds research, runs weekly groups, hosts public talks and takes men away from routine a few times a year so they can breathe for a minute without life constantly hammering them.No gimmicks.No fake motivational nonsense.No pretending a hashtag fixes anything.Somewhere along the line I ended up winning awards in the mental health space and being named one of the most influential people in the men’s mental health sector.Still feels a bit ridiculous to type that out.I also still work in website marketing and business growth.Mostly because I got bored of watching businesses burn money on marketing that looks busy but achieves absolutely nothing.Ironically, quite a few of the businesses I’ve worked with have gone on to win awards.I never really bothered entering myself into the marketing awards world. Paying £1,000 for a table so everyone can clap while eating dry chicken breast has never really appealed to me.I’d rather my clients win.Most organisations do not need more marketing.They need clarity.They need direction.And they need their website to stop acting like an expensive digital brochure.If traffic is coming in but enquiries are not, something is broken.If an agency sends a 40-page report nobody reads, something is broken.If nobody can explain where your money is going, something is definitely broken.That’s the work I still do.No fake guru nonsense.No vanity metrics.No pretending “reach” pays wages.I help businesses make their websites work harder, their messaging clearer and their marketing less chaotic.Also, if you’re expecting inspirational sunrise quotes every morning, this probably isn’t the LinkedIn profile for you.
