  • 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.

  • I had the 2 am staring at the ceiling with dread and fear. I have had the 4 am wake up in cold sweats and in a panic & having to start the hellish work streams or that 9-box exercises. I know what can be done, what needs to be done and will help you with the most difficult decisions

  • Here’s How I Help You

    Consulting: I happily get into the weeds and drive business change by guiding teams where to make the essential changes and build for short to long-term successes.

    Advising: I help to inform department leads on what they’re doing well, what can be optimised, where there needs to be real change and where there are areas that need to be developed.

    Coaching: My coaching allows you to build your career and concentrate on the most critical aspects of your business & Departmental issues

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Anat Sneh-Matalon

    Marketing & Product Leader

    I worked with Danny during a pivotal moment in my career a couple of years ago, and his coaching made a significant difference. He expertly led me through the “what’s next” process, helping me clarify my short- and long-term goals and position my strengths effectively in a competitive market. Danny’s approach struck the perfect balance between structured frameworks and supportive, thought-provoking questions, ensuring every session was both productive and empowering.

    More recently, I’ve continued working with Danny through weekly 15-minute "accountability sessions" - brief, focused coaching check-ins that have been incredibly effective for staying on track with my short-term objectives. With hands-on experience in marketing and growth, Danny truly understands the underlying dynamics I deal with, making his guidance not only relevant but exceptionally actionable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for clarity, direction, or simply a strong partner in achieving their professional goals!

  • Jo Lavender

    CMO @ TrustedHouseSitters

    I brought Danny in to help us in validating our new long-term strategy. He developed structured cross-functional working methodologies and implemented a new Growth operating model, significantly enhancing our operational efficiency.

    Danny facilitated us to roll out our cross-functional model successfully, first as a test with our customer acquisition team and subsequently applying it across two additional business units. This transition enabled us to move from a funnel-based approach to a more dynamic loop-based operating model.

    He broke down existing silos between departments and then aligned our organisation towards shared objectives and worked with fellow exec team members to integrate these initiatives into our OKR process.

    Danny consulted and coached us on our org design, hiring processes and long-term planning. 

    Danny left us in a much better place than where he joined us.

  • Roxanne Nejad Coaching Client

    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!

  • Katie McPhee Coaching Client

    Katie McPhee

    Founder Of Earth AI & Marketing Leader Ex Eventbrite, Gett, BBC

    I can't speak highly enough of Danny as both a coach and as a marketing knowledge leader!

    Danny and I first connected when I was embarking on my consulting journey. Our first coaching session together marked a real turning point as Danny supported me in aligning my strengths and goals with positioning and messaging (and crucially the courage to post this on Linkedin!) which led to new client engagements just a few weeks later.

    On subsequent sessions I was able to work with Danny to work through specific marketing and leadership challenges presenting across these briefs and he always brought fresh ideas, and more importantly, the support to move forwards with confidence. The journey into consultancy can be a daunting one but Danny's support, in the form of check in emails, book/ article recommendations and connections, has made a tangible difference to embrace the journey with positivity and confidence!
