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 5,000 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.

My
Values

Clarity Beats Complexity

If it doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t sell. I strip away the jargon, overthinking, and complicated funnels that waste time and money. My job is to give you a clear, focused strategy that you can actually understand and put into action. Because when you have clarity, decisions get easier, marketing gets faster, and results come quicker.

Fresh, or Forget It

Boring marketing is dead marketing. Safe, recycled ideas don’t get remembered, they get ignored. Everything I create has to feel modern, original, and impossible to scroll past. I believe if it doesn’t stop people in their tracks, it’s not worth making. Fresh ideas aren’t just a “nice to have” they’re the only way to cut through the noise in a world drowning in content.

People Before Pixels

Behind every business is a human being with ambitions, fears, and potential they often don’t see themselves. I care about the person, not just the numbers or the campaign data. I listen deeply, challenge where honestly, and focus on what really matters. Because when you connect with people first, the sales, the growth, and the numbers all follow naturally.

Skin in the Game

I treat every project like it’s mine because if my name is involved, it matters. If I don’t believe I can deliver results, I’ll walk away before wasting your time or money. My reputation is built on referrals, repeat business, and results, not empty promises. That means I’ve got skin in the game every single time, and I’ll work harder than anyone to make sure the outcome is worth it.
