About me

I've seen marketing from every angle, and I've had to fix what most people never see

I've worked in-house and agency-side, leading marketing from the ground up and fixing it when it broke. That's why everything I do now, whether hands-on delivery, strategic guidance, or training your team, focuses on building marketing capabilities you control, not creating another dependency.

My approach

I don't just help businesses growth, I've lived through what breaks them

I believe businesses shouldn't have to depend on agencies forever. That's because I've seen how internal marketing teams are more trusted, more agile, and more profitable. And I believe in giving them the systems, strategy, and clarity to own their growth.

This isn't just theory. The deeper I got into agency life, the more I saw what was broken:

Endless retainers with no real transformation.
Clients confused by strategy handoffs and inconsistent execution.
Internal teams spinning their wheels trying to serve everyone and solve everything.

Most businesses didn't need more agency help. They needed clarity, systems, and someone to guide them in building their own marketing engine.

My journey

Both sides of the fence, and why that matters

I didn't begin in an agency. I started on the inside, at a small local accountancy firm, writing blogs and hustling to generate leads with little budget and even less time.

From there, I moved agency-side, working through account management, sales, strategy, and eventually becoming Head of Client Delivery. This is where I rebuilt teams, overhauled pricing models, and helped scale operations profitably.

The pandemic brought redundancies and a return to in-house marketing leadership. That's where I really saw the disconnect between internal teams and external providers.

I realised most businesses didn't need more outsourced work, but actually clearer systems, trusted advisors, and internal capability.

So I built my business to give them exactly that: marketing guidance that builds independence, not dependency.

The solution

Building marketing you control, not marketing that controls you

Today, I help businesses at different stages of growth through four flexible approaches:

Handling the work directly when they have no internal marketing function
Providing strategic direction as a fractional leader
Giving you accountability on starting to do the work yourself
Offering coaching and training to build self-sufficient teams.

But in every engagement, the goal is the same: clarity, ownership, trust, and long-term marketing independence.

Not dependency. Not bloated retainers. Not an endless queue of tasks.

My hands-on experience at every level of marketing means I understand what actually works versus what's just trending. I bring structure, systems, and support that lead to long-term results, not long-term commitments.

My credentials

Certified expertise with practical experience

As an Endless Customers Certified Coach and having trained directly under Marcus Sheridan, I combine proven marketing principles with real-world experience.

I've helped businesses across different industries transform their marketing capabilities, whether through complete marketing management, strategic guidance, or focused team training.

Every engagement starts with understanding your specific challenges and goals, then creating a clear path to sustainable growth that your team can own.

My values

What you can expect when working with me

These principles guide how I work with every client, whether providing hands-on support, strategic guidance, or team training:

Trust through transparency

No hidden agendas or unnecessary services. I'll tell you what's working, what's not, and what you actually need - just clear advice you can count on.

Results over theory

Trends are interesting, but systems are what actually drive growth. Every recommendation comes from real experience and proven outcomes, not the latest marketing fad.

Building independence

I want your team to succeed without me; that's how I measure success. My goal is helping you become self-sufficient through training, systems, and knowledge transfer.

Commitment to growth

I work hard and expect the same from clients. Real transformation takes dedication from both sides, but the results are worth the effort.

Always learning

Marketing constantly evolves, so I regularly update my skills and knowledge to ensure you get current, practical expertise that drives real results.

For agencies

I haven't forgotten where I came from

I still work with agency owners who want to fix the very systems I used to manage - whether it's delivery operations, team management, or internal chaos.

If you're an agency leader, I can help behind the scenes to build the structure and processes that create better outcomes for both your team and your clients.

Beyond business

The human behind the frameworks

If you're curious about my life outside marketing, I'm passionate about personal growth through yoga, reading, and mentoring university students.

Music still plays a big part in my life. I'm a music graduate and lifelong pianist, so you might catch me performing with wedding bands and tribute acts around the country.

At home, I'm a devoted husband to an incredible scientist and dog dad to two chaotic pups who keep life interesting.

And yes, I'm that person who gets genuinely excited about every Apple product launch... my wife says I'm single-handedly propping up their share price!

Frequently asked questions

What’s your background in marketing?

I’ve worked both agency-side and in-house over the past decade, across sales, strategy, delivery, leadership, and training. I’m one of the UK’s first five certified Endless Customers coaches, having trained directly under Marcus Sheridan, and have helped businesses transform their marketing capabilities across multiple industries.

What inspired you to start your consultancy?

After years of seeing businesses overspend on disconnected marketing, I wanted to build something that gave them control. My focus is helping leaders build systems they can sustain long after external help ends.

How did your previous roles shape your approach today?

Working on both sides, agency and client, showed me the gaps in accountability, communication, and results. That experience drives my focus on transparency and measurable progress.

Have you always worked in marketing?

No. I actually trained to be a musician at university, studying Jazz and Popular Music. It was during that time that I got a part-time job working on a local brand's social media profiles. After graduating and spending a year working as a self-employed musician, I decided that's not what I wanted to be doing, so pivoted into marketing full-time.

What qualifications or certifications do you hold?

I’m a certified Endless Customers coach and trained directly under Marcus Sheridan. I also hold multiple HubSpot certifications and continue professional development through industry-leading programmes.

What size companies have you worked with?

I’ve supported businesses ranging from lean £500k consultancies to £6 billion enterprises. The principles stay the same: build trust, align sales and marketing, and measure what matters.

Have you worked internationally?

Yes, I’ve worked with teams in the UK, US, and Europe. Most of my work is delivered remotely, but I run in-person strategy sessions when clients prefer.

Who are some types of clients you’ve helped?

I’ve worked with agencies, SaaS companies, professional services firms, construction suppliers, and technology providers, all united by a need for clarity and predictable growth.

Do you ever work with startups?

Occasionally, yes, particularly when founders want to build their marketing engine from day one. I adapt my frameworks for their early-stage realities.

How many clients do you work with at once?

I intentionally limit engagements to maintain depth of involvement. That means each client gets the same level of strategic focus and accountability.

What industries do you work with?

Mostly B2B and service-based businesses: SaaS, consultancies, professional services, agencies, construction, and FinTech. My marketing principles work across industries because they focus on trust and measurable results.

Do you work with e-commerce companies?

While my focus is B2B, I occasionally help e-commerce businesses where complex sales or considered purchases require educational content and trust-based marketing.

Can you support manufacturing or industrial companies?

Yes, many of my clients are technical or engineering-led businesses. I help them simplify messaging and position their expertise for non-technical buyers.

What about nonprofits or charities?

I occasionally support mission-driven organisations when their challenges align with my frameworks, particularly around trust-building and stakeholder communication.

Do your frameworks work in highly regulated industries?

Absolutely. I’ve worked with financial and legal services where compliance is critical. We design transparent content strategies that align with regulations while remaining human.

Have you worked with agencies before?

Yes, both as clients and collaborators. I often help agencies refine their own positioning, pricing, and delivery models to operate more efficiently.

Do you offer services for in-house marketing teams?

Yes. My “Done-By-You” and training programmes are designed specifically for in-house teams ready to build lasting capability.

Do you work with franchised or multi-location businesses?

Yes, I help unify messaging and build systems that support consistent marketing across multiple locations while allowing local flexibility.

Can your approach work for tech startups?

Definitely, as long as there’s a clear value proposition and readiness to invest in structured growth. I help startups move from chaos to repeatable marketing systems.

What if our industry is very niche?

That’s fine. The principles of trust, transparency, and clarity apply universally. I’ll tailor examples and content to resonate with your specific audience.

What makes your approach different?

I don’t just “do” marketing. I build systems and capabilities that help you own and scale it. Whether through hands-on delivery, strategic guidance, or team training, I focus on creating lasting change rather than dependency.

What’s the philosophy behind your frameworks?

Everything centres on trust. When businesses lead with transparency and education, they shorten sales cycles, attract better clients, and build sustainable growth.

Do you follow a specific methodology?

Yes. My work is rooted in the Endless Customers System™ and my own TIMELESS Marketing™ and Trust BLUEPRINT™ frameworks, all focused on clarity, consistency, and conversion.

How do you tailor your methods to each business?

I start with diagnostics, assessing your goals, data, and internal capacity, before customising strategy, messaging, and execution to fit your team.

What’s your stance on outsourcing vs insourcing?

Outsourcing can be valuable short-term, but my goal is to reduce dependency. I help you build internal skills so you can eventually manage marketing independently.

How do you measure success?

I track metrics like lead quality, conversion rate, and sales velocity. Ultimately, success means your team can run marketing effectively without constant external input.

What are common challenges you help clients overcome?

The biggest include disjointed sales and marketing, unclear messaging, and reliance on agencies. I help replace chaos with structure and accountability.

How do you balance strategy with execution?

Strategy drives everything, but it’s meaningless without action. I ensure every plan is backed by real implementation and measurable outcomes.

How do you ensure your frameworks stay relevant?

I constantly refine them based on client outcomes and evolving buyer behaviour. They’re designed to adapt, not stagnate.

Do you teach or execute marketing yourself?

Both, depending on the engagement. Some clients hire me for hands-on delivery, others for strategy and coaching. The approach flexes to what you need.

How do you stay current with marketing trends?

While I stay informed about new developments, I focus on proven approaches that drive growth. I continuously learn through practical application, client work, and peer networks.

Do you work remotely or in person?

Mostly remote, but I offer in-person workshops and sessions when needed. Some programmes, like the Company Alignment Workshop, can be virtual or on-site depending on what works best.

How often do you meet with clients?

Most clients meet bi-weekly or monthly, depending on scope. Between sessions, I’m accessible via email or Slack for quick guidance.

Do you take on multiple clients at once?

Yes, but I cap my active roster to maintain deep involvement. Quality of partnership always comes before quantity.

Can we collaborate with our existing agency or freelancers?

Absolutely. I’m used to integrating with external partners to ensure strategy, messaging, and execution stay aligned.

How do you handle confidentiality?

Every client relationship is fully confidential, and NDAs can be signed without issue if required. Trust and integrity are non-negotiable.

How do you communicate progress?

You’ll receive clear updates, dashboards, and milestone reviews. Transparency ensures we both see what’s working and where to adjust.

What tools do you typically use?

I work primarily with HubSpot, Google Workspace, and simple dashboards for visibility. The aim is clarity, not tool overload.

Do you offer team training as part of consultancy?

Yes. Many engagements include coaching for marketing and sales teams to help them confidently apply what we build.

How do you manage time zones for international clients?

I schedule flexibly to suit your region. Most sessions fall within overlapping UK–US or UK–EU hours to make collaboration easy.

Why is transparency such a core theme in your work?

Because transparency builds trust. When businesses are open about pricing, process, and expectations, they attract better clients and longer-term relationships.

What’s the biggest misconception about marketing you see?

That more activity equals more results. In reality, focused strategy and consistent execution outperform scattered tactics every time.

How do your personal values influence your work?

Integrity and independence drive everything I do. I’d rather lose a sale than sell something a client doesn’t need.

What motivates you most in your role?

Watching teams gain confidence in their own marketing. Seeing them no longer reliant on agencies or external help is incredibly rewarding.

What’s been your biggest professional lesson?

That sustainable growth depends on alignment between leadership, sales, and marketing. Without it, no strategy can succeed.

How do you balance creativity with data?

I believe creativity should be informed by data, not restricted by it. The best campaigns blend insight with storytelling.

How do you maintain work-life balance as a consultant?

By setting boundaries, prioritising high-impact work, and focusing on clients I genuinely believe in. That energy translates into better outcomes.

Who has influenced your approach the most?

Marcus Sheridan’s “They Ask, You Answer” philosophy (now Endless Customers) had a huge impact. It shaped my belief that education, not persuasion, is the heart of modern marketing.

What do you enjoy most outside of work?

Time with family, baking projects with my wife, and exploring creative writing. They all remind me that perspective outside work fuels better thinking inside it.

What’s next for your business?

Continuing to refine my frameworks, build new self-service tools, and help more businesses move from outsourced marketing to complete internal ownership.
