What I Do
I work as an embedded member of the leadership team, taking responsibility for ensuring marketing contributes meaningfully to commercial growth.
1.
Commercial Growth Architecture and Engine
Defining how marketing supports revenue growth and long-term business strategy.
2.
Brand and Competitive Market Positioning
Ensuring the company’s proposition is clear, credible and aligned with its growth ambitions.
3.
Optimising your Marketing Model and Engine
Structuring internal teams, agencies and performance systems so activity translates into measurable results.
4.
Growth Narrative and Stakeholder Positioning
Helping leadership teams articulate their commercial story to investors, partners and the market.
My work is typically with a select group of organisations experiencing complex growth or transformation, including:
• capital-backed operating businesses
• property and infrastructure platforms
• professional services firms entering scale
• founder-led companies navigating their next phase of growth
In these environments, marketing must operate as a commercial discipline, not simply a communications function. allenge will not be solved by ‘package integration’ or by ‘AI’, it needs a whole of organisation overlay, articulated through a big ‘M’ Marketing lens.
A Note About AI
AI is here to stay.
It is much more than a ‘task-prompt’, but neither is it a panacea - certainly not for something like Marketing.
I have seen the both the fear and the blind enthusiasm that AI can engender - from both sides of the table.
I’ve translated lifelong love of technology into a genuine understanding and practical application of what AI can do - and where it can make real impact.
For me, it’s a force-multiplier and a way to quickly supplement human teams and get strategy moved to implementation much faster than was previously possible. It gives me (and my clients) the ressurance of security, experience and control, but with the ability to do much, much more with so much less.
I have access to tools beyond ChatGPT - Tier One enterprise platforms and agents that can accelerate delivery, assess impact in real time and pivot if required.
None of this happens without your approval, my hand on the tiller or without government-grade security protecting our data.
