IN PURSUIT OF POTENTIAL

Is Your Marketing Truly Aligned With Your Commercial Objectives?

Or is it holding you back?

Growth is never easy. But is your marketing helping or hindering you? Contributing? Or failing to perform like you want it to?

For 30+ years I have specialised in making marketing the best it can be: leading marketing strategy, brands, resources, skills and capabilities to align with commercial objectives and profitable growth.

Now I help my clients do the same.

Who are these clients?

Any established business that is

  • feeling lost in the tangle that marketing, tech and market complexity can create.

 

And/ or

  • dissatisfied with the outcomes they are getting.

  • without senior marketing expertise.

  • whose marketing team need to develop their capability to help drive future growth.

What outcome can you expect?

Whatever the circumstances I will get you to be

  • clear, confident and concise about your marketing

  • focused on the results you need (not on all of the activities you think you should be doing)

  • free to concentrate on delivering for your customers, pursuing your fullest potential and growing the thriving business you want.

HOW?

A lot of my work is bespoke and tailored to each client’s needs but most get started with ‘The Make Life Easier’ marketing-business alignment review.

'make life easier'

the marketing -business alignment review

Too often marketing strategy and activity is wrapped up in techno-babble, jargon, hype and caveats about what may or may not happen. Too often it is not really fit for a dynamic competitive market.

No wonder it is hard to make sense of it all.

If it is, it is not truly or seamlessly aligned with commercial outcomes.

 

A great and aligned marketing strategy should feel :

  • simple

  • actionable

  • measurable

  • a ‘natural’ fit with your business

 

And great marketing activity should deliver the results you need to grow; whether that is:

  • customer retention

  • new clients

  • more revenue, cash or profit.

 

When it is life becomes so much easier. That’s what this review starts to help you sort.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

Simon’s approach was very thorough, and in no way a quick fix. A lot of people were involved and a lot of opinions questioned. Now it’s easy to give an opinion – but Simon interrogated further, and asked people to substantiate them – and as a result, people understood what he was doing.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

Got to the heart of our issues very quickly and provided a logical and achievable set of outputs. Very easy to work with as well, which helps!

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

The way Simon handled the project and team was not just actionable, but respectful, and I had seen how people responded to his approach.  This gave me enough confidence to go for the second project – which was a little more difficult.  At that point we weren’t even sure what the potential value could be, and how much it could grow. I had confidence that Simon could handle this risk well.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

Such an amazing experience. Came in confused and left with great clarity and a plan.
Would recommend to anyone. Fantastic. Thank you.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

Simon is not just systematic but thoughtful and charming in the way he brings out what can be quite hard messages.  He can rally people, and get them to talk – and that’s a great character trait.  Then he doesn’t just present an opinion, but grounds a true argument and embeds a new way of thinking.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

As a result of Simon’s work, I think the culture changed. Teams are much better organised, and communicate more. People feel part of a larger community, and they now follow through on the changes they want to see. The feeling of responsibility is more shared, and everyone cares about the P&L.
