FUELLING PROFITABLE BUSINESS GROWTH
My ecommerce consulting clients fall into one of two categories.
1.) Ambitious founders of funded direct to consumer (DTC) brands. Brand owners that require guidance on the innovative personalisation strategies that drive new and repeat business for their young business. A business mentor as well as a trusted ecommerce expert. A partner to plan and execute upon a growth strategy, technology review and optimisation process that focuses on customer-centred business growth.
2.) Established brands wary of rising acquisition costs that require an honest, external review of current performance and a roadmap to deliver next stage ecommerce growth through greater personalisation. Somebody to take ownership of the customer-centric strategy and work alongside senior management and in-house teams to evolve the marketing process.
Driving growth. This isn't top level strategy telling you to spend more and accumulate more. I'll dive into each aspect of your current marketing activity to bring you a fresh truly customer-centric approach to how you increase customer acquisition and retention for your store. We'll reduce costs where needed. We'll fund initiatives where justified. We'll invest in the right technology for your brand. We'll ensure you are taking full advantage of today's marketing tools and optimisation processes to drive real business growth.

MY ECOMMERCE BACKGROUND
Building 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 10 years my time has been dedicated to my ecommerce consulting business. Working with founders and in-house teams to drive more revenues without increasing ad spend through the advanced implementation of personalisation strategies and continual optimisation. It makes scaling easier and more profitable.
“one of today’s leaders in Conversion Rate Optimization, people who don’t just talk the talk but put their theories to the test on a daily basis.”

Businesses that value their customers. Know their customers. Businesses built on behalf of their customers. I have to believe in the products you’re selling. Whether premium brands or innovative products. We have to share an understanding that there’s a demand for what you sell.
