My competitive edge
Strategic Marketing Visionary
I possess a unique ability to 'get under the skin' of customers, understanding buyer behaviours and business dynamics to drive behavioural change and digital innovation.
About me
With a career beginning in the 80s at the height of the ‘brand building era’, I have developed and executed award-winning B2C and B2B brand strategies that deliver real business growth. At Leasing.com, I led a brand transformation during the 2019/20 pandemic, introducing new digital and direct channels across B2B and B2C, that resulted in a 23% revenue increase and 5:1 ROI within 12 months, challenging traditional car showroom and financing models.
At Beelivery.com, I crafted the brand strategy for a pioneering on-demand grocery delivery service, overseeing a £5 million campaign that helped double sales in six months and secure £30 million in Series A and B funding. This initiative grew customer acquisition by 60%, increased sales by 30%, and boosted customer frequency by 45%.
As a healthcare services expert, one marketing initiatives for Harley Street Fertility Clinic stands out. I refocused the entire brand and patient journey around trust and complex medical expertise, improving PPC efficiency by 25%, and achieving a 28% impression share in a highly competitive market.
Earlier in my career, I spearheaded a successful brand turnaround for Greggs -Food on the Go concepts, delivering 18% increase in same-store sales over two years and the catalyst for digitalisation, store productivity and product innovation.
Fun facts
- Adventure Seeker: I once holiday’d in Sri Lanka, decided to stay and developed a travel business that became 6 times winner of Sunday Times Website of Year. Sold in 2015 for a tidy sum!
- Dog Lover: Went on a dog grooming course which evolved into two grooming salons and 1000 four legged clients in 4 years. Sold in 2018 for another tidy sum! Moral of both stories. Once I start, I don’t stop ‘till I’ve turned a successful profit!
