Let's create something worth talking about
Experience has taught me that you can spend as much as you want on marketing, but if you've got the wrong product, a brand that's off, a dysfunctional business model, or you're targeting the wrong customers, you're wasting your money.
I know how to identify the problems that are crippling your business strategy, and how to fix them to make your marketing more effective.
​
I specialise in creating brands that have a 'natural buzz', that we can amplify through clever marketing strategies for even greater impact.
In my 13 years in business, I've built 2 international brands from the ground up (both turning over multiple millions in revenue every year), am busy building my third, and have successfully managed dozens of new products and brands.
I've been trained in design thinking, design sprints and workshop facilitation techniques through top institutes and training bodies including IDEO, Google Ventures, and Strategyzer. ​

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is covered in a Business Diagnosis?What we explore into during our 60-minute session depends on where your business is at and what we see as the key issues (identified by the questionnaire and a quick scan of your online activity). It's your bespoke session, and we can use it to dive into the areas which will bring you and your business the most value. Things we can cover include tips and pointers for developing a marketing strategy, how to design a better value proposition, how to test your ideas or new products and get feedback quickly, or even something more practical like a website review, how to increase your conversions, or under what circumstances you should look at doing a rebrand.
-
What do I get from a Business Diagnosis?You get advice, clarity, and direction from the perspective of a CMO about what the actual causes of your issues are (highlighted by the Business Diagnosis Questionnaire that I send to you before our call), and the steps I suggest you take in order to solve them. This will take place over a 60-minute video call, and five working days later, the key points we discussed and my recommended next steps will be sent to you in a Diagnostic Summary Report so you can easily refer back to it and share it with any of your colleagues.
-
Will a Business Diagnosis solve all my problems?Sorry no... The first step in solving a problem is to identify the 'actual problem'. This is exactly what the Business Diagnosis is designed to do. In the session, I analyse your business, listen carefully to what you are saying, do some of my own research, and help you to pinpoint the cause of the issues you are facing and how to go about solving them. I'm a problem solver by nature, so where I can I'll also provide highly practical tips and resources that can help you to solve the problem faster. If, after the session, you want me to help solve your problem (and it looks like I'm the best person to help you do this), we can work together on further projects to tackle any problems we've identified.
