Better decisions
before more marketing.
I help businesses identify what is really holding growth back, then turn that into a clear plan with the right priorities in the right order.

Why this exists
Most businesses know something is not working. Very few know exactly what.
A proper look at where you actually are, what is genuinely holding growth back and what to do about it in what order.
The aim is clarity before spend. Once that is clear, you can decide whether your own team, Sidekit or somebody else builds it.

Where most businesses leak and where the biggest wins usually are.
What I help with
The areas we work through together.
Five areas of marketing consultancy I work across, from diagnosing what is wrong to getting into the detail of the channels themselves.
Audit & direction
A full look at what you are running now, what is working, what is quietly wasting money and what to prioritise. The step most businesses skip.
Full marketing audit
Positioning & messaging
Channel mix
Competitor review
90-day priorities
Content & social
What to post, how to make it and how to actually keep it going. Including workshops if your team is the one producing it.
Social strategy
Content planning
Content workshops
Filming & posting process
Platform-specific direction
Paid & performance
Campaigns built around return rather than reach, tracked properly so you know what the spend is actually bringing back.
Meta ads
Instagram & Facebook
Google ads
Tracking & attribution
Reporting
Email & retention
Keeping the people you have already paid to reach. Campaigns and automated sequences that bring people back without feeling like spam.

Automated sequences
List building
Segmentation
Lifecycle & retention
Partnerships & growth
Some of the biggest wins do not come from a campaign. They come from the right introduction, a partnership nobody had considered or an opportunity sitting just outside your current view. I work across a wide network of businesses and help find those connections.
Strategic introductions
Partnership opportunities
Co-marketing

Work with me
Two ways to work together.
Start with the Marketing Review to get clear on what matters. Then, if you want someone to carry it through, keep me on as your part-time marketing manager.
ONE OFF · DELIVERED OVER TWO WEEKS
The Marketing Review
A senior outside view of your whole marketing, turned into a plan you can act on straight away.
I go through everything you are running before we meet, so our time is spent on answers rather than questions. You come away knowing exactly what to fix, in what order and why. For most businesses it pays for itself in the wasted spend it uncovers.

A short questionnaire so I understand the business and your goals
02
A full review of your website, socials, ads and email before we meet
03
A two hour working session, in person in Mid Sussex or over video
04

A follow-up call a month later to check progress and adjust

ABOUT · HAYWARDS HEATH
The background
Most marketing advice comes from people looking in from the outside. My experience is the other way round.
I’ve spent years working inside the industries I now advise, starting in property where I progressed to regional sales manager across sales, valuations and marketing. That meant understanding the whole journey, not just the advertising around it.
From there I moved into finance, where trust, credibility and how a business presents itself matter just as much as visibility. Then came Venturo, the private members club I co-founded, where building a premium brand taught me that growth is often less about doing more and more about getting the right details right.
Across property, finance, automotive and luxury, the pattern has been consistent: the businesses that grow are rarely the ones spending the most. They are the ones making better decisions earlier.
That is where I come in.
Need it done instead
Advice is one thing. Delivery is another.
If the answer is a website, campaigns, content or digital systems, that is what Sidekit is for. Same thinking, with a full team behind it.
