Growth Strategist & Marketing Advisor

I work with entrepreneurs in brand and marketing and help them understand what they really need and how to get there. Not as an agency. Before you hire one.

The Situation

You do a lot, but not the right things. You invest, but it doesn't deliver what you expected.

"Do I actually need social media?"
"My marketing is running — but it's not working."
"I want to double my leads. But how?"
"Do I need a new brand — or is that the wrong problem?"
"I want to grow — what's the right move right now?"
"How do I position myself clearly in the market?"
"What do I need to do to sell more?"
"Do I need a new system?"
I give you clarity — on what actually helps in your situation.
Do you need a social media manager — or is that not the right problem right now? Will a new sales channel actually drive growth? Should you look at your business numbers before investing further? Or do you simply need a system that finally scales? I tell you what it is.

Testimonials

What clients say about working together.

“In 90 minutes he found the problem we'd been working around for 6 months.
Head of Sales On-Trade South · Spirits Industry · Brand & Sales Strategy
“From the start I was surprised how quickly he got to the core of our problem, with no long ramp-up, no off-the-shelf solutions. What sets him apart: he thinks like an entrepreneur, not like a consultant. He says what he really thinks, even when it's uncomfortable. If you're struggling with brand and growth and looking for a real sparring partner: Simon is exactly that.”
Team Lead Publishing Automation · Multi Source Publishing · Liebherr
“Simon helped us with our positioning and currently supports us with LinkedIn marketing. After just a few sessions I can say: hats off, he really knows what he's talking about. The things we implemented hit home. We're delighted to have a true professional on board.
Co-Founder @ Ellunium · AI & SAP Consulting · ex-SAP
“Super creative, surprises you with new perspectives. He questions what needs to be questioned and delivers crystal-clear positioning. Unique, on point. No ‘chi-chi’, no ‘bla-bla’. And it works: his campaigns create demand.
