Strategic Planning Consultant

Marketing drives business growth, but who is driving your marketing strategy?

Random acts of marketing - jumping on the latest trends, following the loudest voice in the room, swinging through short term tactics - can damage your brand, exhaust your team and whittle your budget, all without shifting the needle on the results that matter.

But how do you know where to start and what to prioritise? 

That's where I and my extended network can help.

I work with small and midsize businesses to bring a fresh perspective to your marketing efforts in order to:

🔸️Identify areas for immediate improvement.
🔸️Lead, coach, mentor, build your marketing team.
🔸️Align strategy and team behind driving measurable commercial impact.
🔸️Build your brand and market presence.
🔸️Find creative solutions to your marketing challenges.

With extensive time as a Chief Marketing Officer, building teams and brands from the inside, and as a strategist working within marketing and advertising agencies, I bring over 20 years of experience solving business and marketing problems across SaaS, technology, eCommerce, retail, tourism, Government, FMCG and beyond. 

Experience across this diverse portfolio means I am able to immerse myself fast, find seemingly unrelated parallels I can draw upon to expand thinking, and remain objective as I do so. 

So, if you have a gap between marketing expectations and reality, let's connect and find if we are a good fit to work together.
