The "Agency" Problem.

You hire a big agency. The pitch is great. The senior directors promise the world.

Then you sign the contract, and you never see them again. Your account is handed to a 22-year-old "Assistant Executive" who is learning on your budget.

You pay for the overheads, the office ping-pong table, and the sales commission. You get slow communication and diluted results.

The Middleman Tax

Why agencies slow you down

  • 1
    Chinese Whispers: You tell the Account Manager → They tell the Project Manager → They tell the Developer.
  • 2
    Billing Friction: "That's out of scope" emails for every 5-minute text change.
  • 3
    Lack of Ownership: No single person is responsible for the outcome.
The Alternative

Direct Access to the Founder.

Work directly with the Lead Consultant who built the system. I bridge the gap between "Strategy" and "Code", giving you the expertise of the entire consultancy.

Full-Stack Skills

I don't just "advise". I write the code. I configure the API. I build the dashboard. No waiting for a dev team.

Speed of Execution

We can prototype, build, and deploy in days, not months. No bureaucracy. Just shipping.

Accountability

You call me. I answer. If something breaks, I fix it. I care about your business because my reputation depends on it.

My Technical Toolkit.

I specialise in the intersection of Marketing and Technology.

Next.js / React

Building high-performance, custom web applications that load instantly and rank on Google.

Automation

Advanced workflows using Make (Integromat), Zapier, and n8n to connect disparate systems.

CRM Architecture

Deep expertise in HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive data modelling and configuration.

Custom APIs

Writing Node.js serverless functions to handle complex data transformation and logic.

Headless CMS

Implementing Sanity, Payload, or WordPress as a headless data source for flexibility.

Performance

Obsessive optimisation for Core Web Vitals, Accessibility, and Technical SEO.

Who I work with.

  • CMOs who need a technical hand to execute their vision.

  • Agencies needing a senior white-label partner for complex builds.

  • SME Founders who have outgrown their "DIY" setup.

Who I DO NOT work with.

  • Micromanagers who want to dictate pixel-perfect design changes every hour.

  • Clients who treat freelancers as "disposable commodities".

  • Projects with "exposure" as payment. I am a professional.

Common Questions.

I engage in two ways: Project-based (Fixed Scope, Fixed Price) or Retainer (Monthly dedicated hours). I do not do hourly billing for small tasks.

Yes. When you hire me, you get me. However, I have a network of trusted designers and copywriters I can bring in for large projects if needed.

I work primarily remotely from my office in London. I am happy to attend key workshops or strategy sessions in person.

I limit my active client roster to 3-4 key accounts to ensure quality. It is best to book a call to check current capacity.

Let's build it.
