Busy marketing, but not enough growth?

You're running ads, posting content and sending emails. Every activity looks reasonable on its own, yet it's hard to say which of them is actually bringing in revenue.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place:

  • Lots of marketing activity, no clear plan connecting it
  • Budget spread across channels without knowing what's working
  • Traffic and leads that don't turn into sales
  • Customers who buy once and never come back
  • Reports full of numbers, but no clear next step

The difference

No templates and no quick-fix tactics. I start with your business, your customers and your numbers, then build a full-funnel strategy where awareness, consideration, conversion and retention all feed each other. And I don't hand over a deck and disappear. I lead the plan through to results.

The result

You know exactly what's working and where the next dollar should go. Your team has clear priorities and briefs. And you have a senior marketing partner who measures success the way you do: in pipeline, sales and customers who stay.

hi, i'm jason

I started in sales. I measure marketing by revenue.

Before moving into growth marketing in 2018, I spent nearly two decades working in B2B sales, account management and service leadership. That experience still shapes my approach: marketing needs to move the business forward.

Since then, I’ve worked with startups, established businesses and agencies across B2B and B2C. I’ve led growth strategy, managed teams of strategists and overseen $5M+ in annual ad spend. I’ve also built and run the campaigns myself, so I know what good execution looks like from the inside. My work spans email marketing, website development, creative strategy, paid media and creator partnerships, all connected by a clear strategy and measured against business results.

The problem I see most often is activity without direction. Campaigns, content and channels that keep everyone busy but don’t work together. I connect those efforts, set clear priorities and lead the execution to turn them into measurable growth.

I’m direct, invested and accountable. If something isn’t working, you’ll hear it from me, along with a plan to fix it.

the full-funnel approach

Every stage of the journey, working together.

Most businesses over-invest in one stage and neglect the rest. I map your funnel end to end, find where people drop out, and focus effort where it moves revenue.

  1. 01

    Awareness

    Get noticed by the right people through clear positioning, compelling creative, creator partnerships and targeted Meta, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn campaigns.

  2. 02

    Consideration

    Build trust with a strong website, search visibility, user-generated content, testimonials, case studies and email nurture sequences.

  3. 03

    Conversion

    Turn interest into revenue with compelling offers, persuasive landing pages, customer proof and paid campaigns built to drive sales.

  4. 04

    Retention

    Keep customers coming back with personalized email, automated CRM journeys and referral programs that turn loyalty into advocacy.

Measurement ties it all together. GA4, pixels and conversion APIs, CRM attribution and Looker Studio dashboards show which stages are working.

Proven strategies that convert.

ai, used well

AI makes good marketing faster. It doesn’t make it thoughtful.

AI can be a genuine force for good. It speeds up research, testing and reporting, and frees up time for the work that matters most. But it can’t understand your customers, weigh a trade-off or care about your business. That part still takes people.

Where AI earns its place

Speed, scale and sharper insight

  • Faster audience, competitor and keyword research
  • More creative and copy variations to test
  • Quicker analysis, reporting and anomaly spotting
  • Automated workflows that remove busywork

Where people stay in charge

Judgement, empathy and accountability

  • Strategy, positioning and the big trade-offs
  • Understanding what your customers actually feel
  • Brand voice, taste and knowing what not to say
  • Final review, and owning the results

Your data, protected

Your confidential information stays confidential.

My promise

  • I never put your customer data, financials or other confidential information into public or free AI tools.
  • I only use business-grade AI tools that don’t train on your inputs, and only for the tasks you’ve approved.
  • Before anything sensitive touches AI, I anonymise it and remove names, emails and personal details.
  • I follow your company’s AI and data policies, and I’m happy to sign an NDA before we start.
  • Your files and data are returned or deleted at the end of our work, whenever you ask.

Disclaimer

Third-party AI tools are run by their providers and covered by those providers’ own terms and privacy policies. I choose and set them up with care, but no online tool or system can promise to be completely secure.

You decide what is shared with me and which tools may be used. Anything AI produces is checked by a person before it goes live, but AI can still make mistakes, and nothing on this site is legal advice. If your industry has strict privacy or data rules, tell me and we’ll agree the right approach in writing.

My rule of thumb

AI drafts. People decide.

I use AI tools every day to work faster and see more, and every recommendation still comes from careful thinking about your business. You get the efficiency of AI with the judgement of a senior strategist.

good questions

Before we talk.

Anything else, just ask on the call.

Do you run the campaigns yourself?

I lead the strategy and direct the execution. Your team or trusted specialists build the work, and I brief it, review it and stay accountable for results. I get hands-on where it matters most.

Where are your clients based?

I work remotely with businesses across North America, the UK, Europe and MENA, and schedule calls around your time zone.

What does it cost?

Every engagement is scoped after a free 15-minute call, based on your goals, channels and how much support you need. You get a short written proposal with a clear price before any work starts.

Do you use AI in your work?

Yes, every day, for research, testing ideas, analysis and automating busywork. It makes the work faster and sharper. Strategy, judgement and final decisions always stay with people, and nothing goes live without a careful human review. Your confidential information is never put into public AI tools, and I only use business-grade tools that don’t train on your data.

Is ad spend included?

No. Ad spend is paid directly to the platforms from your own accounts, so you keep full ownership and visibility.

Which channels do you cover?

Meta Ads across Facebook and Instagram, Google Search, Shopping, Performance Max and YouTube, LinkedIn and TikTok, plus email and CRM, websites and landing pages, creator programs, and GA4 and Looker Studio measurement.
