What I Do

Strategic Marketing Services

I work across four interconnected areas of strategic marketing, each addressing a different dimension of the clarity that makes marketing effective. Most engagements begin with positioning and evolve from there.

Service Areas

Where I Work With You

Brand Strategy & Modernisation

Positioning · Messaging · Target Audience

Most brands don't fail because of bad design — they fail because the positioning is unclear, the message is inconsistent, or the brand does not reflect what is relevant to the target audience. I help you close that gap. I develop brand positioning that is commercially grounded, competitively differentiated, and built to last — then support your team to translate it correctly into every touchpoint.

More
  • A clearly defined positioning that differentiates you in your market and gives your team a shared direction. Not a tagline, but a strategic foundation.
  • A messaging framework aligned to your actual target audiences, so every communication (from pitch deck to product page) says the same thing, differently.
  • Deep target audience understanding. Not just demographics, but the motivations, concerns, and decision-making patterns that make your message resonate.

Communication & Channel Strategy

Messaging · Channels · Audience

The problem is rarely that companies aren't communicating enough — it's that they're communicating the wrong things, on the wrong channels, to audiences that aren't listening. I design communication strategies that bring discipline to your message and logic to your channel mix. My work stops before execution — which means no conflicts of interest, no media commissions, no reason to recommend anything other than what works.

More
  • A structured audience segmentation and messaging framework so each stakeholder receives a communication that speaks to their actual priorities — not a broadcast version of your homepage.
  • A channel strategy with clear rationale — where to invest, where to cut, and how the channels work together across the buyer journey.
  • A campaign architecture your internal team or agency can execute directly, without needing to reverse-engineer the thinking behind it.

Data & AI-Enabled Marketing

Analytics · AI · Decision-Making

Most marketing teams collect more data than they use. The dashboards exist; the insights don't. I help companies turn data into decisions — by connecting what you measure to what you're actually trying to achieve. I also help teams move beyond AI as a writing tool and into AI as a genuine strategic advantage — building workflows, governance frameworks, and practical capabilities that save time and sharpen thinking.

More
  • A KPI framework and data architecture aligned to your commercial goals — so reporting stops being a ritual and starts being useful.
  • A clear picture of where AI can realistically improve your team's output: faster research, sharper briefings, better prospect intelligence — without the hype.
  • Custom AI workflows and hands-on training your team can actually use, not a theoretical roadmap that sits in a drawer.

B2B Growth & ABM Strategy

ABM · Pipeline · Sales Alignment

When sales and marketing aren't aligned, the pipeline suffers — and everyone blames the other team. I help B2B companies build the systems that close that gap: account-based marketing strategies that target the right companies, reach the right people within them, and give sales a framework they'll actually follow. I design the strategy and support implementation — but I don't run your campaigns or replace your sales team.

More
  • A rigorously defined ICP with account tiering and buying committee mapping — so your team knows exactly who to target, why, and with what message at each stage.
  • A sales and marketing funnel strategy with a shared qualification logic, removing the grey zone between marketing handoff and sales follow-up.
  • ABM playbooks your team can run independently — with governance, tracking, and enough flexibility to adapt as you learn.

How I Work With You

A Structured Path to Clarity

1

Discovery

Analysis: I dig into your business, market and internal dynamics to identify friction, gaps and unused potential and present an action plan.

2

Strategy

Based on discovery findings, I build a strategy specifically for your context with a clear rationale for every decision.

3

Delivery

I deliver frameworks your team can execute, with clear handoff and training. Not 100-slide decks that sit in a drawer.

4

Support

Optional ongoing advisory as you implement. I answer questions, adjust as you learn, and keep strategy on track.
