30 Years' Marketing Experience - Practitioner, Not Teacher

Built and ran my own agency, written campaigns generating millions. I've spent the money, made the mistakes, and know what actually converts.

20 Years of Real-World Business Experience

Built businesses through recessions, a pandemic and every challenge in between. Hard-won wisdom from the real world, not books.

Level 4 Certified Transformational Coach

Trained under 2x UK Mastercoach of the Year. I combine business strategy with the mindset shifts that make lasting change possible.

“The secret to happiness is to be working at your passion. If you want to be miserable, lead a desperate life like everybody else where they drag their asses to work every day because they hate their job.

- Yvon Chouinard, Founder of Patagonia

What You'll Enjoy As A Client

Your business is doing well, but your marketing isn't pulling its weight. Maybe you're doing bits and pieces when you can find time - sporadic social posts, the occasional email - but nothing consistent or strategic. Or you're paying someone who produces generic content that doesn't sound like you and doesn't generate enquiries.

Most family business owners are trapped between two bad options: doing marketing themselves (which takes time from running the business) or hiring someone who doesn't understand what makes their business different.

After 30 years in marketing and 20 years in business, I help business owners get their marketing sorted - either by taking care of it for them or by mentoring them to do it better themselves.

The main difference? I understand you're not just building a business. You're building a life. Your marketing should support both, not grind you down.

Option 1: Done-For-You Marketing

This is for you if:

  • Your marketing is costing too much time and energy for the results you're getting
  • You want professional, consistent marketing without employing someone
  • You're tired of generic content that doesn't sound like you


What you get:

I build and manage your complete marketing system - from positioning to campaigns to lead nurturing and conversion. Not random posts hoping something sticks, but integrated strategy designed to generate consistent enquiries while you focus on running your business.

This includes:

  • Strategic positioning that differentiates you in your market
  • Content that sounds like you, not like everyone else
  • Campaigns designed to convert, not just get likes
  • AI used properly - trained and customised for your business, not generic slop
  • Regular optimisation based on what's actually working


Why this works:

You get 30 years of practitioner experience without the HR headaches of employing a marketer. No managing someone, no wondering if they understand your business, no paying for theory that doesn't convert.

I focus on fundamentals that work in the real world, tested through multiple economic cycles. Not this week's alleged algorithm hack.

N.B. Only two spaces available for done-for-you marketing.

Option 2: Performance Coaching

This is for you if:

  • You want to improve your own marketing capability
  • You need help with the bigger picture - systems, boundaries, priorities
  • You want strategic guidance without outsourcing execution


What you get:

1-to-1 coaching covering marketing strategy plus the bigger picture: protecting your time, building systems that work without you, priority management, training clients to respect boundaries, and setting up your business so it doesn't consume every waking hour.

The goal? A business that gives you more money and more sanity.

This is focused attention on what YOUR business needs to thrive. No groups, no generic advice, no guru nonsense. Just actionable, fluff-free strategies from someone who's built businesses through recessions, pandemic, and everything between.

Who I'm looking For... And Who I'm Not

You own or run a small family business

You value strategic thinking and proven experience

You have a long-term vision for your business

You're professional and respect other people's time

You're comfortable investing in transformation, not just tactics

You sit on a board / committee

You think marketing is a magic bullet

Your business is on its last roll of the dice

You micro manage and show up late

You're looking for the cheapest option rather than the best results

What Next?

Drop me an email or WhatsApp and we can have a quick back-and-forth. If it seems like there's a good fit, we'll arrange a Zoom call.

Or book a Power Hour (£349) - 60 minutes focused entirely on your biggest business challenge. You'll leave with specific, actionable strategies to implement immediately. If we work together afterwards, the fee comes off your first month.

For family business owners who want more growth and less grind
