THE PROCESS OF ECOMMERCE GROWTH
DATA-FUELLED. CUSTOMER-CENTRED. TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN.All the conversations and thoughts you've had about website personalisation, making better use of today's technology, customer insight and use of data... improving the customer experience.
Plus the plans to a/b test and learn what really impacts and influences your customer's purchase decisions. All the ideas that haven't yet come to fruition.
My clients, a small group of established brands, hire me to advise on the marketing and operational efficiencies that deliver next stage growth. To help you deliver a feel good shopping experience for your customers before and after the sale.
1.) Direct to Consumer brands. Working directly with in-house marketing teams. Brand owners that require senior level expertise to advise and deliver strategic guidance for their business. A business mentor as well as a trusted ecommerce expert. A partner to plan and execute upon a strategy that focuses on customer-centred business growth.
2.) Established retail brands and b2b organisations wary of rising acquisition costs and ecommerce technology advancements that require an honest, external review of current performance and a strategic roadmap to advance ecommerce operations.
This isn't top level strategy telling you to spend more to sell more. I'll dive into each aspect of your ecommerce activity to bring you a structured approach on how to increase customer acquisition and retention for your store.
You'll reduce costs where needed. You'll fund initiatives where justified. You'll invest in the right personalisation technology for your brand. Together we'll ensure you are taking full advantage of today's ecommerce technology & tools to deliver true customer centricity across your entire ecommerce operation.

MY ECOMMERCE BACKGROUND
Building and growing Ecommerce Brands For 20 YearsWearing the hats of employee, director, ecommerce business owner & consultant.
Finding my feet at a startup online magazine subscription retailer way back in 1996. When animated gifs first roamed the 'net and web browsers were at the version 1.0 stage.
4 years on, I moved on to Priceline.com taking the role of European Marketing Director. Learning sustainable growth at a market innovator who are now the world's largest travel company.
In 2004 I launched my own ecommerce business. From 0 to £2m. bootstrapped. Doing the things you've done. Balancing time and energy marketing my business and running my business.
For the past 12 years my time has been dedicated to my ecommerce consulting business. Working with management and in-house teams to lay the foundations for next stage ecommerce growth advising on operational efficiencies to help drive down acquisition costs and deliver your customer a better shopping experience.
