Who am i?

Born into a working class family in Cornwall in the south west of England, I (with an older brother and younger sister) lived out a happy childhood. As an undiagnosed dyslexic thinker a colourful youth followed, which excluded paying any attention to senior-school education.

I currently live in Nelson in the south island of New Zealand with my partner of 12 years Hannah and our two sons Louie and Alfie.

WHAT I DO:

Ive been in business for myself now for 10 years and have a lot of scar tissue. Ive learned almost everything I now know the hard way through trial, error, late nights, and real-world pressure and as a result am an object lesson for others to learn from.

I have been were you are while your reading this..looking for answers from someone you can trust.

The mission i'm on now is to help people Market better, faster & easier on purpose.

I estimate that I have conducted about 3,000 creative client projects over the last 10 years. After the first few, every one of my clients has booked to see me on the recommendation of others.

That’s something I’m immensely proud of …not just because it’s good for business, but because it means the work I do matters to people.

I’ve worked with startups finding their feet, ambitious SMEs chasing scale, and multi-million-dollar brands looking for a fresh perspective. Regardless of size, the goal is always the same: clarity, creativity, and momentum.

With my decade of experience in marketing, I've helped hundreds of people and businesses overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. My approach is simple: understand your needs, provide tailored advice, and empower you to make informed decisions.

why im different.

Strategic, Not Just Stylish: I don’t do fluff or gimmicks. I help businesses cut through the noise with real strategy, grounded in psychology, positioning, and purpose. Clarity for my customers is everything to me.

Human First, Always: Behind every business brand is a person with real ambitions, fears, and untapped potential. I care about that… A LOT. I listen deeply, challenge gently, and help to find what really matters then we build from there.

Creative Solutions to Real Problems: Cookie-cutter advice won’t cut it for most. I bring outside-the-box thinking, unexpected metaphors, and years of experience to create marketing that actually works and FEELS right.

Proud of the Work. Invested in the Outcome: I treat every project like it’s my own. Because if we’re working together, it means something to me. I want the work to be excellent, not just good enough and I want it to make a genuine difference.

If you’re ready for honest conversations, fresh ideas, and marketing that actually moves the needle…
