Building a team
I've built numerous marketing & growth teams over the last 10+ years ranging from 1-10 people. Happy to share my experience and act as a sparring partner.
Email marketing
Email marketing is the key to any successful marketing strategy and continues to be underestimated, both for acquisition and retention across B2C and B2B businesses.
Growth marketing
Do I have a solid growth strategy? Is my growth engine working? Have I identified the most impactful opportunities? Am I prioritising the right things? Growth is hard, especially if you are only focusing on tactics
