I’m not a marketing guru. I just get results!
Let me be honest with you from the off. I don’t have a marketing degree. I’ve never worked in a digital agency. I don’t own a pinstripe suit or a laminated 12-step business framework.
What I am is someone who gets stuck in, thinks differently, and refuses to follow the crowd — whether that’s operations, business development, social media, admin, or whatever else a growing business needs doing properly.
Let me show you what I mean.
One example. One month. One client.
I manage LinkedIn for Being Real, a workplace mental health consultancy doing genuinely important work. Social media is just one small part of what I do — but the numbers from last month tell a story worth sharing.
In February, their content reached 3,352 people and gained 140 new followers. Decent. Solid. Fine.
March? 35,211 impressions. 381 new followers.
That’s a 950% increase in reach and 172% more followers — in a single month.
No ad spend. No paid boosting. No agency. Just a different way of thinking about what actually works.
The way I work
For Being Real, that looks like social media and communications. For other clients, it looks completely different — business development strategy, operational systems, sales support, or simply being the person who keeps everything moving when the founder is already wearing six hats.
Every business I work with gets something tailored. I don’t have a package I squeeze you into. I look at what you actually need, and I get it done.
I ask: what would genuinely move this business forward?
Not “what’s the template?” Not “what does everyone else do?” Just — what works, for you, right now?
I’m a rule breaker by nature. I’ve spent over 20 years in B2B — building things from the ground up, operating at MD level, helping businesses find their feet and then find their stride. I’ve been the first through the door and the one left making sure the lights stay on. I’ve worked across industries, worn every hat going, and learned that the businesses that stand out are never the ones who coloured inside the lines.
What this means for your business
If you’re a small or growing business in the North East and something isn’t working — whether that’s your growth strategy, your operations, your profile, or just the general feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day — I’d love to talk.
I work with a deliberately small number of clients so every single one gets my full attention. Right now, I have one space remaining.
If you’ve been thinking about it — this is the moment.
