I help brands get

Every audience I have built for turns out to be the same audience: someone, deciding. A plant head signs off on industrial AI, a shopper picks one brand off a shelf in ninety seconds, a family chooses where to spend a Saturday.

The floor changes, the stakes change, the question underneath does not. That question is what I build for. I market to the decision.

At a glance

The career so far, in figures.

Numbers show the scale.So what’s behind them?

Selected work, filed differently

My six best cases,and the job each one did.

Every brand needs to be found, chosen and remembered. Each case below did one of those jobs, and its figure shows the result.

Each case opens with the problem, the move and the result.

Six cases, each doing one job.So what drives the work?

The line I work by

“Don’t count the people you reach.Reach the people who count.”

David Ogilvy

A shopper at the shelf and a plant head at sign-off look nothing alike, yet my job with both is the same: find the person making the decision and give them a reason to choose.

Reach the people who count.So who are they?

How I build an ICP

Before the work, the buyer.

The buyer

The real competition

The moment of choice

So the work changed

The buyer comes first, then the brief.So how does the thinking work?

How I think

Marketer by judgment,orchestrator by method.

AI makes the craft faster. It doesn't decide what the work should do, who it's for, or when it's ready. Those calls stay with me.

  1. The question

    Every project starts with what the work needs to do for the person deciding. That answer becomes the brief, and nothing gets made before it's clear.

  2. The craft

    Then I run the stack. Each tool has one job, and I've connected the key ones, like Claude with Higgsfield and Lovable, so a brief becomes something the team can see in days, not agency cycles.

  3. The call

    Every output is reviewed, edited or rejected by me before anyone else sees it. Once it's live, HubSpot shows what reached the audience, and that sharpens the next question.
