Helping creative companies and professionals achieve their ambitions
Professional coaching, business strategy, leadership and change
Many creative business leaders are so busy doing what they do best - developing and selling ideas, getting commissions and delivering projects - they don’t have the time or mental space to stand back and work out their big long term ambitions. And they often don’t have the resources they need to make their plan a reality.
This is where I come in.
About me
I have over twenty years’ experience working for TV broadcasters, publishers and tech companies including the BBC, Channel 4 and Xbox.
I work with clients across TV, film, digital and the arts. I help them develop and implement plans to grow their businesses. I work to improve and transform their operations, build talented teams and take advantage of online platforms to find new audiences and income streams.
How I can help you
Business strategy
Whatever your size or the stage of your business, I can help you define a realistic plan to take advantage of your strengths so you can achieve your ambitions.
Commissioners & funders
There are a lot of networks and platforms out there looking for content, with ever changing wants and needs. I can evaluate your development slate to spot suitable markets, and review your pitch and sizzles to help you hit your mark.
Growth planning
You need the right financial tools and metrics to grow your business. I can review your existing approach and create simple-to-use models to tell you if your strategy is working.
Multiplatform
New technologies offer creative and commercial opportunities but can disrupt an existing operation. I am well versed at helping creative companies make the transition to new ways of working.
Professional coaching
I am a coach that can help you make a positive change within your careers, businesses and working relationships.
Commercial
There are a myriad of ways to make money and get projects financed. I can help you identify the realistic opportunities, ensuring you maximise your return and aren’t wasting valuable time.
Managing change
Delivering a new strategy is daunting and impacts all parts of a business. I can help transform your operation to deliver lasting change while also motivating your team to come with you on the journey.
Policies and Protocols
Often creative businesses that have grown organically or are in flux don’t have the processes and rules needed to reduce risk and enable greater creativity. I can review your operation and create the full set you need.
