I work with founders who've built something genuinely good on word of mouth and quality, and are now trying to scale, enter a new market, or attract a different kind of client. The brand they grew with is no longer the brand they need. That's what I fix.
Free · Takes about 4 minutes
You built it the honest way. Word of mouth. Quality. People who liked you, telling other people who liked you. That works, until you want to grow on purpose.
Then the cracks show. The website describes a different business than the one you actually run. The deck doesn't match the room you're trying to walk into. The proposal lands fine, but it doesn't lead. Inbound slows. You start spending on content that is pointed in the wrong direction.
The problem is rarely the work. The work is good. It's that the story underneath has drifted, and nobody on the team is going to tell you.
Each of these started with a client asking for one thing, and ended with us solving the actual problem underneath.
Came in asking for new photography. Reframed the brief as a visibility problem. Built a digital marketing effort within NHS guidelines. 9,559 net new registered patients.

Read the caseBuilt the positioning, the pricing tiers, the content model and the team structure. Proof that the studio model produces specialist brands, not just service work. Co‑founded with Priyesh Pankhania.
Read the caseBuilt to prove the model. Two recording sessions at IdeaFest and GBEA. Sold out in 48 hours. One conversation became eight to ten pieces of content. 8% engagement rate. £0 paid advertising.

The workshop is the door. Everything else is downstream of what we find in it. You don't sign anything bigger until we both know what we're actually solving.
A four‑hour session with you, the founder. We pull apart what the business actually is, where the story has drifted, and what to do about it. You leave with a direction and a written report.
Where the workshop leads to a build. Ongoing consultancy, the right specialists from the network, and one point of accountability through to delivery. Scoped and priced after the workshop, when we both know what we're actually solving.
Podcasting through Podcast Foundry. Video and photography through trusted partners. Web and digital through the network. The right specialist matched to your brief, briefed by me, paid once.
You don't want to manage five suppliers, three quotes, and a chain of people who blame each other when something slips. You want to talk to one person who actually knows your business, and have the right specialists turn up when they're needed.
That's the model. I sit at the front. Everything runs through Cardboard Creative, the studio I've been operating from for years. Podcast Foundry handles podcasting. Trusted partners handle video, photography, web and digital. Everything is briefed by me, sequenced by me, and reports back to me.
Four hours, the founder, a written report. £1,500. If after that we're not the right fit, you walk away with the clarity anyway. that's the deal.
