It's a new year! As we step into 2026, I want to pause for a moment and say a big thank you. Thank you for the conversations, the trust, the challenges, the energy, and the ambition you brought into my world last year. Whether you’re a founder, CEO, brand leader, consultant, or creative - I’m grateful to be part of your journey. This year, my focus continues. It's s simple (but not easy): Helping leaders and brand builders get clear, get aligned, and get moving - with confi

🚨 Well, that didn’t go to plan… (!) I had a tech nightmare today trying to stream my “How To Become A Brand Consultant” webinar from Zoom to LinkedIn Live. It didn’t work. 😩 Cue last-minute panic, quick pivot… and thankfully, a brilliant group of 70+ people still showed up live on Zoom 🙏 From cursing the IT gremlins to sharing smart questions around pricing, strategy, value-based fees, and how to shift from “hands” to “brains” - the chat was on fire. 🔥 💬 Questions covere

Although mildly dyslexic, I find writing is a helpful way to document, explain and share what's impacting my work as a Brand Consultant - and 2025 was a year when I attempted to write an impactful article at least once a month. As the year comes to a close, I wanted to pause and reflect on the ideas that resonated most this year on my blog. These are the posts that sparked the most conversations with leaders, showed up in workshops and offsites, and helped people make sense o

Wow! What a year it's been! I’m officially clocking off now - but before I do I wanted to say a massive, massive thank you 🙏. As we start to wind down, I’ve been taking a little moment to pause, reflect - and honestly, feel incredibly grateful. 2025 was a big one. Big conversations. Big rooms. Big ambition. Big strategies. And a lot of brilliant people trusting me with work that actually matters. To every client, collaborator, partner, podcast guest, Mastermind member and la

The response to my ebook on Brand Consulting has been unbelievable. A post on Linkedin about it went so viral I could not keep up ( see here so you know what I mean!) Hundreds of designers, marketeers, strategists and brand builders downloaded it in just a hours… and I’ve been flooded with messages asking for the next step. So let’s start the new year properly !. I’m hosting a LinkedIn Live webinar on: How to Become a Brand Consultant 📅 Monday 5th January 2026 ⏰ 4:00pm UK

All companies have a brand - the meaning customers attach to them and their offer. They have a brand identity - name, logo, colours. They have products and services that customers can buy. And they have an intent to create value. But very few lead with brand. Too many companies still lead with spreadsheets. They chase quarterly numbers, optimise in silos, and call it strategy. The result? A culture of internal competition, not cohesion. Teams fight for budget, not customer i

Align your leadership team for 2026: Two Days. One Aligned Team. Alignment Strategy Sprint.

In today's data-rich (but insight-poor) world, knowing how your brand is actually  perceived by customers is often the missing link in driving meaningful commercial results. Over the past few months, I’ve had the opportunity to help a client implement a brand tracking system anchored in the classic Net Promoter Score (NPS). The results? Clarity, focus, and a new ability to tie brand positioning directly to customer experience and commercial value. Why use NPS? At its core, N
