Global Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)

ChaChing is a game-changing platform that's reshaping purchasing dynamics. It offers merchants the opportunity to acquire customers based on a cost-per-acquisition model, with a twist: it gives money back to the consumer and serves as an alternative advertising channel for better ROAS. Instead of competing for clicks and views, ChaChing focuses on competing for conversions.

My primary role is to onboard agencies, merchants and support my cross-functional teams with the overall brand in the UK market.

Transact Media Group (TMG) has contributed to over $50M in GMV generated in under 12 months for our clients and partners — driven by a focused shift towards transaction-led strategy rather than traditional media outcomes.

We’re now live on an always-on basis across our four pillars with 200+ advertisers, and with major partnerships already committed for 2026, I expect this to scale significantly through H1 2026.

Revenue is up 315% from Q3 → Q4, and our AVRPC has more than doubled — strong validation of the model and the technology behind it.

Team Growth: from 2 → 14 exceptional people

As we move into 2026, we’re going bigger, bolder, and better — doubling down across the UK, Middle East, Europe, and APAC, while expanding into the US.(Adam Wilmshurst and I will be Stateside 🇺🇸  10th–19th January for events, client sessions, and partner meetings.)

We’re also structuring Transact Media Group into four core pillars to empower our team and better commercialise our technology:

Our Four Pillars
🔹 Services – Campaign execution & management
🔹 Outcomes – Programmatic, media network, ad server activation
🔹 Signals (Data) – Transactional and audience intelligence
🔹 Commerce – Consumer-facing platforms driving demand

Supported by: 
1. Cross-Pillar Integration: End-to-end measurable outcomes
2. Unified Reporting Platform: Analytics, optimisation, and AI-driven insights

This is the first company I’ve founded, and I’m genuinely humbled by our trajectory. By far the hardest year of my life, working tirelessly from quite literally anywhere with WIFI or Phone Signal. But, as we move into 2026, I truly believe we can work with any brand, agency, or publisher in this marketplace.

We've secured partnerships with some of the biggest players in the world this year, which we'll announce as part of our PR push for next year. 

For now, if you'd like to explore opportunities, reach out to me or any member of the team — we’d love to talk. 

Merry Christmas from all of us at Transact Media Group (TMG). 

Thank you to our leadership team; 

Adam, Barry, Tash, Dan, Ben,  Erzana, Jessica & Robert. 

Onwards, JW

Media. Data. Commerce. Connected By Transactions.

Tonight, I must start packing my suitcase for Affiliate Summit West, in Las Vegas.

📅 11th–14th January 2026 – Networking, exploring affiliate opportunities, and catching up with partners in tech and e-commerce.

After the summit, we’re heading to New York 🗽 to meet clients, agencies, and brands — showing how Transact Media Group (TMG) helps turn marketing into real business outcomes:

✨ Transact Signals – audience targeting powered our exclusive transaction-level data algorithm
 📺 Programmatic & CTV Activation – measurable campaign performance
 🛒 Consumer Platforms – generating demand and driving commerce

I’ll be traveling with my Co-Founder and good friend, Adam Wilmshurst, and we’re amazed — 55+ meetings booked next week! 

Can’t wait to connect, collaborate, and spark some exciting partnerships. The US is a very important market for us this year, building on a strong foundation laid last year.

It was great to feature in this episode.

Happy New Year all.

Marketing looks very different when results, not dashboards, are the scoreboard. In this GPIS episode, Sachin Parekh sits down with Joel Williams, Founder of Transact Media Group (TMG) Group, to unpack what happens when marketing is tied directly to real transactions, real revenue, and real accountability. 

Joel shares how he scaled fast by rejecting vanity metrics, betting on outcome-driven execution, and building systems where performance can actually be proven. 

It’s a sharp, no-nonsense conversation about incrementality, guaranteed results, and why the future of marketing belongs to those who are willing to be measured where it truly counts.

Content Writer @ Kurogo | Former Rugby League Player Turned Writer

I played Rugby League for 16 years, with the dream of eventually making it as a pro.

But that dream died a tragic death.

So I proceeded to have a bit of an identity crisis and felt fairly lost on this spinning rock.

Then in 2019, I stumbled across copywriting...

And it was pretty much love at first sight.

So I decided to go all in on writing online whilst being a bit of a nomad (I eventually ended up living in southern Spain).

Since then, I've written for 50+ B2B business owners and DTC brand owners.

With the aim of helping them: 

• Attract top talent.
• Book more meetings.
• Increase brand awareness.
• Stand out from competition.
• Gain more newsletter subscribers.

Now I work at one of the UK's leading Personal Branding agencies.

I'm sure you've heard the phrase 'personal branding' a lot. And I'm sure it probably makes you want to curl up into a ball and cringe your little noggin' off.

But here's the thing: 

Building your brand as a professional in this day and age is pretty bloody crucial.

Why?

Well, that's easy because...

Your reputation matters.
How you're perceived matters.
And the stories you share matter.

But creating brand content can take a helluva lot of time and effort. 

Thankfully, that's where Kurogo comes in.

To put it simply, if you're a brand owner, C-suite exec, or an outright professional in your field, that:

a) Isn't satisfied with your current content.
b) Has no time to create content.
c) Doesn't know where to start.
d) All of the above.

Let us help you create content that: 

→ Entertains
→ Educates
→ Provides actionable advice

And that's about it for now. 

If you fancy a chat, feel free to send me a message.

Other than that, see you on the timeline my friend.

Cheers :)

This photo was taken in January 2020.

At the time, everything had kind of fallen apart.

I’d just quit my job, come out of a long-term relationship, stopped playing rugby after 16 years, and had recently lost my mum.

Safe to say, I was pretty lost. 

I had literally no idea what I wanted to do with my life. 

Didn’t think I had many skills. Didn’t try in school. Didn’t go to uni. No real career plan or clear direction.

But a couple of weeks earlier, I stumbled across a video of someone (a blogger or someone like that) travelling the world and working from their laptop.

At the time, that felt like a genuinely impossible concept. But it also looked cool as fuck. 

“You can make money and work from anywhere in the world? Wtf??” I asked.

So I thought I’d give it a go.

I took what little money I had left from my last payslips, got in my banged-up Renault Clio, and started driving around Europe trying to make this “digital nomad” thing work.

I tried all sorts of online businesses and remote jobs. Most of them failed miserably.

But writing was sort of the one common thread, and the thing I kept coming back to.

Then covid hit, and I got stuck in Poland for a couple of months. For me, that lockdown was a period where I could just be completely alone and sharpen my skills. 

When lockdown lifted, I made my way to Spain.

I learned the language, met my now partner, and ended up staying here far longer than I ever planned.

All in all, I messed up more times than I’d like to admit.

I constantly questioned whether I’d made my life better or worse. For a long time, I genuinely wasn’t sure.

I’m still not perfect now.

But I’m much happier than I was back then, that's for sure.

6 years from this photo, I work remotely, writing for people I’d have never imagined even speaking to at that point in my life.

I’m not trying to brag or be cringe here.

But if you’re in a similar place right now, and there’s something that excites you but also scares the life out of you (even if it feels like a completely foreign concept), just give it a go this year.

I wasn’t sure I’d made the right decision for a good few years.

Looking back now, I’m so glad I did.
