"Working with Ian is probably the best thing
that has happened to us in the last 6 years."

Why do founders hire me
rather than an agency?

Because I'm a generalist focused on the big picture. Real growth. I'm not trying to sell you a site redesign, Meta playbook, Klaviyo flow or inventory management system (or promising some rocket ship-aligned growth trajectory). I'm hired to help you achieve sustainable, scalable growth. Making sure the right people are doing the right work across your business. Building your brand for the long haul.

25 years senior-level expertise creating ecommerce growth frameworks, knowing how to build audiences, connect with customers and convert more visitors into confident buyers. Doing the work that builds, grows and scales ecommerce brands teaches you a lot about why people buy (and why they don't).

I'm hired, either as a coach or consultant, to help answer the big picture question 'what should we be doing better to consistently grow our ecommerce sales AND our bank balance?'

I'm not going to drown you in a playbook of marketing best-practices that sound great, but do very little for your business or your bank account. More importantly, I'm not going to outsource or give you a great sales pitch and then hand over the 'work' to a marketing junior.

Sometimes optimisation tweaks and adjustments aren't enough to fix ecommerce growth problems.

Do fundamental changes need to be made to grow your ecommerce business? A mindset shift allowing you to take full advantage of data and technology now available to you? It's my job to figure out what those changes are and to lead the change-making process.

I don't like to complicate ecommerce. The fundamentals are straightforward.

  • How do you make it easy for people to find you and buy what you sell?
  • How do you persuade fence-sitters they need your product?
  • How do you find more people that need/want what you sell?
  • How do you focus on doing the work that creates impact?

With limited time or resource are their smarter ways to grow than pushing more money into ads? Let's find out.
