Rivki Stoll :: Private White VC"Working with Ian is probably the best thing
that has happened to us in the last 6 years."
Put an end to the guesswork and start focusing on what needs to happen to scale with profitable, consistent sales
I'm hired by ecommerce business leaders in one of two scenarios:
1.) SCALING CHALLENGES: Your brand has outgrown current tactics and in-house skillsets. To continue your upward growth trajectory, you need someone to lead the scaling strategy that delivers your next stage of growth.
2.) CAC CHALLENGES: Growth has stalled or plateaued, acquisition costs are rising and you feel growth has become overly dependent on paid advertising. I fix the systems behind traffic, conversion and retention so you work to the economics you want and you your business scales predictably.
WHy do founders hire me rather than an agency?
Better decisions = better economics = better growth
Clients, founders and leadership teams, hire me to provide one-off guidance on the exact steps they need to take to unlock ecommerce growth, answering fundamental questions like;
- How much can we afford to pay to acquire a customer?
- Which customers should we be acquiring?
- Is our offer strong enough to justify our CAC?
- Where should we invest for growth?
- Are we ready to scale or are we scaling inefficiency?
- What is actually driving profit (not just revenue?)
- What needs to change structurally, not just tactically?
- How do we work better and with greater impact on real business objectives (money in the bank)?
From there, I provide the recommendations and insights you need to better manage growth performance in-house. For 3 or 4 brands, I take the role of Fractional Ecommerce Director to help their team progress.

WAYNE ROBINSON :: FOUNDER OF SOWSEEDS“Taking a test-and-learn approach meant that we started to see positive results very quickly. Within the first year, we were consistently delivering sales results in significant double-digit growth, whilst at the same time seeing an improvement in the investment ROI.
Such was the increase in sales demand that we had to suppress sales as operationally we could not manage…a nice problem to have had!”
