I am a Marketing and Growth Leader (MBA) with over 25 years of experience helping training providers and professional services scale through strategic audience segmentation and high-conversion sales funnels. I specialise in bridging the gap between complex educational content and commercial growth. My expertise lies in refining brand positioning for B2B audiences, auditing sales funnels to fix "leaky" lead generation, and executing targeted LinkedIn outreach that resonates with HR departments and corporate decision-makers. Why work with me? • Sector Depth: Former MBA Lecturer with deep experience in the professional training and education landscape. • Strategic Rigour: I don’t just "post content"—I build data-driven roadmaps that align brand messaging with measurable ROI. • Results-Focused: Proven track record of lifting proposal win-rates to 80% and managing digital projects from £2k to £200k. • Mission-Aligned: I am passionate about wellbeing and inclusion, bringing an empathetic yet authoritative voice to mental health and neurodiversity brands. I provide clear, actionable insights and regular progress reporting, ensuring your marketing spend translates into tangible growth.
