Work With Me

You know your business. You know what needs attention. What you do not always have is the time, the distance, or the right person to think it through with. Someone who understands what it takes to build visibility, sharpen offers, and grow a business, whether that is inside the Shopify ecosystem or as a founder running a small creative business.

That's where I come in.

Common Challenges I Help With

Most clients come to me with one or two urgent challenges, but they’re rarely isolated. What looks like a marketing problem often leads back to a wider business issue, and vice versa. These are the areas I most commonly help with.

Positioning & Messaging

Clarifying what you're known for, who you're best suited to help, and how you talk about the value you create in a way that feels clear, confident, and memorable.

Offers & Pricing

Refining services, packages, and pricing so they're easier to understand, easier to buy, and more commercially sound for both you and your clients.

Marketing Direction

Creating a realistic marketing rhythm that helps you stay visible, generate the right opportunities, and build momentum without it taking over your week.

Content & Communication

Support with newsletters, campaigns, LinkedIn content, launches, and the messaging that keeps conversations moving and helps people remember what you do.

Priorities & Momentum

Working out what matters most right now, what can wait until later, and how to keep the important work moving forward week by week without losing momentum.

Founder Support

A trusted sounding board for decisions, direction, accountability, and the realities of running a business when everything ultimately lands with you.

Ways We Can Work Together

There are a few different ways we can work together, depending on what is going on in your business right now. Some people start with a focused strategy call, others need a more involved reset around something important, and some want ongoing support over time. The right fit depends on what needs attention and how much help you want around it.

Deep Dive Strategy Call

£295 +VAT (if applicable)

Ideal for: founders, soloists, and agency leaders who need clarity on a decision, challenge, or next step without committing to a longer engagement.

A Deep Dive Strategy Call is a focused 90-minute online session to help you work through one important challenge, decision, or idea. You bring the context. I bring perspective, honest feedback, and a clear point of view on what matters, what doesn't, and what to do next.

What You'll Get

  • A short, actionable plan based on the decision in front of you.
  • A grounded read on what's working, what isn't, and where your attention belongs.
  • A proper conversation without rushing, spiralling, or overthinking.

How it Works

  • We book a time that works and confirm it online.
  • A short pre-call survey helps me prepare properly.
  • After the call, you'll receive the recording plus notes, links, and recommendations.

If you need to get unstuck quickly, make a better decision, or talk something important through with someone who knows the territory, this is the simplest way for us to work together.

Strategic Sprint

£1,295 +VAT (if applicable)

Ideal for: founders, soloists, and small teams who know something important needs attention — whether that's positioning, pricing, offers, messaging, visibility, or simply what to focus on next.

Strategic Sprint is a focused four-week engagement designed to help you tackle one meaningful business or marketing challenge properly. It gives us the time and space to get beneath the surface, work through what is really going on, and come out the other side with clearer thinking, stronger foundations, and a practical way forward.

What You'll Get

  • The time and space to properly focus on something that has been sitting unresolved for too long.
  • An experienced outside perspective to help challenge assumptions and sharpen decisions.
  • Momentum around one important area of the business that needs proper attention.
  • A clearer sense of direction, priorities, and what needs your attention next.

Typical Focus Areas

  • Refining your offers and pricing.
  • Improving homepage or service page messaging.
  • Reworking positioning and who you are best suited to help.
  • Creating a realistic marketing and visibility rhythm.
  • Working out what the next quarter should focus on.

How It Works

  • We begin with a short questionnaire so I can understand the business, the challenge, and what good would look like.
  • Over four weeks, we meet for weekly working sessions to make focused progress on one key area.
  • Between sessions, you can send over work in progress for feedback, sense checks, and course correction.
  • At the end, you leave with a clearer direction, practical recommendations, and next steps you can actually use.

Alternative Format

If you'd prefer to tackle this in person, Strategic Sprint can also be delivered as a focused full-day workshop for you and your team. This is a great fit when you want to get the right people in the room, work through the challenge in real time, and leave with clear decisions and next steps.

NB: Travel and accommodation are charged separately at cost where required.

1‐1 Marketing & Growth Advisory

From £695 p/m +VAT (if applicable)

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

1‐1 Marketing & Growth Advisory is ongoing support designed to help you make better decisions, stay focused on what matters, and keep momentum going month by month. For many clients, this is the natural next step after a Deep Dive Strategy Call or Strategic Sprint, once the immediate challenge has been worked through and the focus shifts to sustained progress over time.

What You'll Get

  • A trusted outside perspective on the decisions, ideas, and challenges shaping the business.
  • Regular support to help keep momentum around the work that matters most.
  • Honest feedback on positioning, offers, pricing, messaging, and marketing direction.
  • Accountability, perspective, and a clearer sense of where to focus next.

Typical Focus Areas

  • Refining offers, services, and pricing over time.
  • Shaping marketing direction, visibility, and content rhythm.
  • Reviewing campaigns, launches, and work in progress.
  • Working through bigger strategic and commercial decisions.
  • Keeping momentum around longer-term business goals.

How It Works

  • 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.

Let's Talk Marketing & Growth

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.
