Does Your Marketing
Need a Rethink?

We're now firmly in the AI era and every day it is changing how brands reach, engage and market to customers. New tools promise greater speed and efficiency, but the real question is: are they making marketing more effective?

Too often, the answer is no, so why?

  • Sales, Product and Marketing are still pulling in different directions.
  • Your positioning and proposition aren't distinctive enough.
  • More content and activity still aren't translating into pipeline.
  • AI tools are being introduced without a clear strategy, workflow or measure of value.

The answer isn't simply more tools or more activity, it's knowing what to automate, what to accelerate and where human creativity and judgement matter most.

That's where I come in.

B2B Marketing Built
For the AI Era

AI is changing how customers discover brands, how teams create content, how campaigns are run and how marketing functions operate. I help B2B technology businesses work out what that means in practice and where AI can genuinely improve performance rather than simply add more tools.

1. Strategy: Are your market, ICP, positioning and GTM priorities clear?

2. Customer & Demand: Do you understand how your buyers discover, evaluate and choose you and where is AI changing that journey?

3. Marketing Operations: Where can AI, automation and better workflows remove repetitive work, improve speed and give teams more time for higher-value thinking?

4. Execution & Measurement: Which programmes are actually creating engagement, pipeline and revenue and what should be stopped, improved or scaled?

Why Work With Me?

I've built and transformed marketing functions across B2B technology businesses, from start-ups and scale-ups to global companies.

I've built teams from 2 to 35 people, worked directly with CEOs and founders, and supported businesses through international expansion, funding, IPO, M&A and repositioning.

Today, I'm applying that experience to one of the biggest shifts marketing has faced: how AI changes the way teams research, create, operate, measure and grow.

My approach combines strategy, creativity, technology and execution.

AI can make marketing more efficient but human judgement makes it effective.
