1‐1 Strategic Support

Ideal for: Shopify Partners, soloists, and creative founders who want to sharpen their positioning, improve their marketing, and build a business that's easier to understand and harder to ignore.

You know your business. You know what needs attention. What you don't always have is the time, the distance, or the right person to think it through with — someone who actually understands the Shopify ecosystem and what it takes to grow within it. That's what my 1‐1 Strategic Support offer is for.

Each month we work through the decisions that actually shape how your business grows — positioning, pricing, marketing strategy, offer design, direction. Two working sessions a month, plus async support on Slack and email between them so you're never waiting for the next call to get unstuck.

How I Help

Most clients arrive knowing something needs attention but not quite sure where to start — sometimes a problem they can't shake, sometimes a decision they keep circling. It usually sounds something like this:

  • What are we actually known for, and is that what we want to be known for?
  • Who are we really for, and who are we not?
  • What are we actually selling, and is it packaged in a way that's easy to understand and buy?
  • Are we underpricing the work, or hiding the value inside messy offers?
  • I know we need to do more marketing, but what should we actually do?
  • If we had to focus on one thing this quarter, what would it be?
  • What would a realistic, repeatable marketing rhythm look like for us?
  • How do I market this without it taking over my entire week?
  • What can I systemise so growth doesn't depend entirely on me?
  • Am I building a business that actually fits my life?

If any of those questions sound familiar, let's chat.

Who I Help

Most of my work is with agencies, app companies, and solo founders building products and services in the Shopify ecosystem. It's where I've spent the last 14 years, including seven at Shopify itself, and where I understand what it really takes to stand out and grow.

Most of the people I work with fall into one or more of the following:

  • Solo founders and specialist consultants
  • Small and mid-sized agencies (typically under 20 people)
  • App founders and product teams
  • Theme developers and technical partners
  • Specialist service providers (CRO, SEO, email, performance marketing)

Alongside Shopify Partners, I work with a small number of digital and creative founders facing similar challenges. If you're building solo or leading a small team and want to think it through with someone who's seen it before, let's talk.

Working Together

£695 p/m +VAT (if applicable)

Most of my clients work with me on an ongoing basis — a steady rhythm of calls and async support that keeps the strategic work moving without taking over your week.

Here's what's included:

  • An initial survey to understand you, your business, and where you want to get to.
  • A focused kick-off session to shape the work, priorities, and direction.
  • Two online working sessions per month to work through planned priorities, or anything that comes up along the way.
  • Honest feedback on positioning, offers, pricing, messaging, and marketing.
  • Practical help on work in progress — shaping ideas, refining drafts, and strengthening execution.
  • Async support via Slack and email so you can sense-check decisions and get feedback between calls.
  • Additional ad-hoc calls when something needs more immediate attention or a quicker decision.

Some clients begin with an intensive deep dive across the whole business. Others move at a steadier pace, focusing on the areas that need strengthening most right now.

Either way, we decide the shape of the work together, and it begins with a conversation. Got more questions? Check out my FAQ for all the details about working together.
