Senior digital marketing brain, hands-on.
One operator, no agency markup. Commercial outcome first, always.
I work with founders, CMOs, and commercial leads at SMEs and scale-ups (£2M- £50M revenue) who need senior digital marketing direction without the cost or recruiting time of a full-time hire.
The usual brief I hear: “we’re spending more on marketing every quarter and I can’t tell my board what we’re actually getting back.”
My job is to make that question answerable, and the answer commercially defensible. Every engagement runs the same methodology — eight customer states, three macro phases, one test that every recommendation has to pass before it gets shipped. Five productised service modes, buyable on fixed terms.
Fractional, project-based, or a hybrid.

The methodology underneath all five services
Every customer is in one of eight states. Knowing which state, at the moment marketing has to decide what to do about them, is most of the job. The methodology is the addressing system that turns marketing from activity into an addressable system. It runs across every sector, every channel, every engagement.
