How I Work

I’m not going to open with how much I admire a brand or how excited I am about its mission. That’s basic, and I wouldn’t want to work with a brand if I didn’t believe in what it was doing.

But that’s not the real reason I work hard.

Every brand I help build becomes proof that I can do this consistently. Not because of luck or good timing, but deliberately, across completely different kinds of industries.

That matters to me.

And because I want that proof for myself, I’ll push for results harder than someone who’s only doing it because it’s in the job description.

Beyond that, there are a few things about how I actually work.

I know what my numbers are worth

I’ve managed budgets where a few percentage points of efficiency can be worth more than most of what a marketing team produces in a quarter. That changes how you think.

I don’t optimise for whichever metric is easiest to move. I optimise for the metric that actually matters to the business.

I’d rather say a channel isn’t working than keep it alive because it looks good in a report.

I don’t need to be pushed into motion

I care about the work, and I care whether it works.

Nobody needs to keep checking in on me to get things moving. If I know what needs to happen, I’ll get on with it.

I’m a goal-getter, and I know when to cut

If something isn’t working, my first instinct is to find a way around it before I give up on it.

But I also know the difference between a problem worth solving and dead weight.

If something is the second one, I drop it and move to the next best option. I’m not particularly sentimental about sunk effort.

I’m organised, properly

Not just tidy folders and colour-coded spreadsheets.

I mean that someone should be able to follow my thinking, understand why things are the way they are, and see what needs to happen next.

I don’t want my work scattered across ten half-finished ideas. What I hand over should make sense, even to someone who wasn’t in the room when I made it.

I’m proactive

I pay attention to the things that are easy to overlook.

A gap in a brief. A metric quietly moving in the wrong direction. An assumption nobody tested. A part of the customer journey that doesn’t quite make sense.

I’d rather catch those things before they become problems than explain afterwards why nobody saw them coming.

None of this is a personality pitch.

It’s what six years of building brands has required of me often enough that it’s simply how I work now.

How I work

I start with the business.

What does the company actually sell? How does it make money? What is a customer worth once everything is accounted for?

That commercial understanding gives me a reference point for everything that follows. Otherwise, it’s very easy to spend money just because there’s a marketing budget to spend.

Then I work out why anyone should choose it.

Honestly. Not the version in the deck.

What can this brand say that a competitor can’t?

If I can’t find a convincing answer, that is the finding. Someone needs to hear it before we spend money trying to market our way around the problem.

Then who it’s actually for.

I want to understand the person, not just the demographic.

Not:

“Adults interested in education.”

More like:

“A 34-year-old with a full-time job and two children who needs a degree without having to sit in a lecture hall.”

That’s a completely different person from:

“A 22-year-old graduate with time, but not much money, who wants to upskill.”

Different problem. Different objection. Different message. Different places to find them.

Then where they are and how they decide.

I don’t like making assumptions when I can research them.

What’s the path from someone not knowing you exist to seeing you, considering you and eventually handing over money?

Where do people stall? What are they worried about? Who do they ask before they commit?

Those questions usually tell me much more than a generic audience profile does.

Then the number.

What are we actually buying, and what is one worth?

Leads? Sales? Attention? Something else?

Everything after this follows from that answer, including the platform.

I don’t like choosing the channel first and then trying to find a reason for it afterwards. That’s how you end up optimising something that was never the point.

Then I build it, and I build it to be read.

Message first, mined from what already works organically. People will tell you what they respond to for free if you pay attention.

Then one clear objective per campaign. Naming that still makes sense six months later. Tracking in place before launch. One variable moving at a time where possible.

If I can’t tell which decision produced which result, the spend taught me very little.

Then I read it honestly and say what I think we should do.

A platform can tell me that a conversion happened. The business needs to know whether it was worth paying for.

I check early enough to catch a bad start and late enough not to mistake noise for a trend. Then I move budget, cut what isn’t working and drop creative I personally like when the numbers say I should. The audience gets the final vote.

What I hand over is what happened, why it matters and what I think we should do next. Plain language, properly structured, so it still makes sense to whoever has to pick it up after me.
