Ever wanted to know what is and what is not working beyond the activities of paid marketing and the ROI your agencies or team might suggest? I help companies audit their Marketing and Growth departments, review their org design (this is the most underrated and poorly thought through of all department leads), people performance and related business performance, alongside making recommendations for the business to optimise to. I use a keep, kill, cure, copy methodology to help the business prioritise the most important actions and know when, why and how.

If most companies were honest they would bottle up the best bit of hackathons where people collaborate who rarely do but then actually solve real business problems we would all be in a great place. I have created a day workshop that is dedicated to (1) identifying problems, (2) build a beta to demo and then test internally and (3) a roadmap to launch, test and iterate so your Product, Marketing and business can deliver what you need and what solves your customers problems.

Most businesses get to the point where they need help and cannot decide what really need:
(1) A Refresh - most wanted but not what most need,
(2) A Reset - what most need with a fresh set of eyes and a driving force behind it,
(3) A Reboot - a more deliberate look at the business and departments,
Or (4) A Restart - the view seen as the most harsh but often is needed and needs to be driven by an independent consultant and advisor.I help you decide what is needed, co-build the plan and take you where you have to drive the business forward

Client Testimonials

Roxanne Nejad
VP Marketing @ Cleo AI
Returning to work after parental leave, I had to reshape my role in a business which had changed significantly whilst I'd been away.
Danny's compassionate coaching style reignited my lost confidence and creativity, providing a tailored, practical approach to the challenges I faced.
In just a couple of Zoom workshops, I was guided through a programme personalised to the specific challenges I faced at the time, which we workshopped together during our meetings.
He's been available at the end of a phone line since for advice, motivational pep talks, and sometimes a little grounding.
Consequently, I've become a more resilient business leader, confident public speaker, and a supportive coach for my own team.
Having coaching by someone who's worked in the same fast-paced environments, in similar leadership roles, meant he knew exactly how to support me. I only wish I'd had this support earlier in my career!

Nick Walter
CEO @ Vortic Art
I've been working with Danny for several months now, and I can honestly say that the experience has been invaluable. He has helped me to develop a range of valuable tools and frameworks that I can use internally within my organization to develop our strategy.
Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I now have a much clearer understanding of how to structure our business goals and the steps we need to take to achieve them. He has provided me with structure and direction, and has challenged me to think more strategically and creatively about how we can grow and succeed as a company.
I would highly recommend Danny to anyone looking to take their business to the next level. His knowledge, experience, and passion for helping others succeed are truly unmatched, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him again.

Ana Rachel Estrougo
Founder @ The Octopus Club
Danny is a bottomless bucket of actionable ideas.
I seriously don’t know how he has so many, on the spot, just bursting out of him!
It’s probably to do with the extensive knowledge he has from working with such different and successful businesses.
He thinks fresh, different, big, without boundaries. I am lucky to have him as an advisor.
