I partner with agencies to provide strategic direction, campaign support, and hands-on expertise — boosting delivery, improving results, and strengthening your value without the cost of full-time senior hires.
I’ve worked agency-side in variety of senior roles and hands-on delivery — including building Etch Growth from the ground up.
That mix means I can set direction, roll up my sleeves, and strengthen your client work where it counts: strategy, execution and measurement.
If required, I can work under your agency name, tools and processes with NDAs and full discretion. Your client relationship stays yours while I focus on results — I’ll blend into your workflows and tone of voice, reporting through your team.
I can work in your office or from your clients’ sites to run workshops, present plans and keep projects moving. Hybrid is fine; I’ll show up where it helps most — from discovery sessions to delivery sprints.
I’ve built an agency team and led countless pitches, so I know how to shape a winning story without overpromising. I’ll qualify opportunities, frame the strategy and commercials, write decks, and join pitches as part of your team to lift win rates and protect margin.
I mentor strategists, performance marketers and account leads, setting simple operating rhythms (stand-ups, QA, retros) and clearer planning and reporting. The goal is a confident, self-sufficient team that keeps improving results long after I step away.
I currently help the wonderful team at Salad Creative with all their search marketing needs, across their client portfolio.
