Growth Consultant & Coach | Growing DTC Brands | Paid Ads, Creative Strategy & CRO
I can not say enough good things about Fay, I left the call feeling inspired and far less lost than I had felt going in. Very knowledgeable, helped me identify errors in my thinking about my problem and provided a constructive path forward. Very thoughtful, and helpful! - Blair
Fay was awesome to speak to! She is very knowledgeable and understands ads very well. I recommend a call with her if you can get it, as she is busy helping a lot of people!
Fay was generous with her time, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, relatable, and fun to work with. She helped me with some relatively complex paid media questions for a project I had to do for a job interview. We had two sessions and both were very valuable. Fay has her own mentoring practice so I highly recommend you talk to her about it! I hope to connect with Fay again soon.
Bio
Hi, I'm Fay 👋 I am a T-shaped growth consultant from the Netherlands with an agency background, specialised in defining overall growth strategies, 360 degree paid advertising, SEO and CRO. I have consulted 100+ start-ups, (international) scale-ups and corporates, with multiple long-term trajectories of 2+ years. I have also previously served as team lead at an agency coaching and guiding 6 other digital marketeers, and I have given multiple strategy sessions and workshops on growth, traction channels (paid search and organic) and measurement. In 2021 I launched my own consulting company Spotting Growth, working as a growth consultant for start-ups and scale ups in the UK, US and the Netherlands. Some brands where I served as Growth Lead: Disney, FOXSports, ESPN, National Geographic, Wolters Kluwer, ParkBee, Rabobank, Heights and PÄRLA. Now, how can I help you? Examples: 🎯 Are you currently struggling when it comes to creating focus, defining your targets or prioritising growth opportunities? 📈 Are you looking for tips and tricks when it comes to setting up the right Google, Facebook/Instagram or TikTok Ad campaigns? 🛍️ Do you feel that you are missing Product-Market-Fit or offer the wrong digital experience due to low conversion rates? ⚠️ Currently only accepting requests from DTC/B2C brands and Digital Agencies due to limited availability. ⚠️
Expertise
Conversion rate optimisation
I am never not ideating. I love diving into customer journeys and specific funnels to see what can be improved, always with the end-goal in mind. I have experience running CRO loops, setting up and analysing on-page A/B tests and running experiments across paid campaigns.
Go to market strategy
I have worked with many start-ups who were in the pre-launch stage to help define the right go to market strategy, targets and budgets. I can help you prioritze the right steps to ensure a smooth company and product launch.
Growth marketing
Thanks to my broad t-shaped knowledge, I can help you with your overall growth strategy and process. This is also what I love most about being a growth consultant: help companies spot the right opportunities and priorities, based on their current situation and OMTM.
Idea validation
Are you unsure if you're focusing on the right hypotheses? Sometimes we can lose focus by having too many ideas and growth opportunities. I can help you on how to validate and prioritise ideas based on your end-goal.
PPC strategies
Way back I started out as a paid advertising specialist and this remains my main and favourite specialty. I am mainly experienced in Google Ads, Facebook/Instagram and LinkedIn Ads and make sure to stay on top of latest trends and developments.
Product market fit
Without Product Market Fit, you'll always see a stagnation in growth. I have ran many PMF trajectories for clients; doing research into their NPS score, setting up customer surveys and helping with customer interviews. Recommendations that came out of the research helped them get back on track, leading to higher conversion rates and sales.
Sales
There is no growth marketing without sales. I strongly believe that these two specialties (should) go hand-in-hand. I can help you figure out how to ask the right questions to understand your (potential) client, deliver the right offers or pitches and how to cross- and upsell.
