I have worked with Ian for 15 years and he still never ceases to impress me with his ability to deep dive into any business in any sector and fully understand it. Through a rigorous process of questioning and extensive research he produces detailed marketing strategies that enable us (or anyone else) to deliver relevant marketing activity, both online and offline. I would recommend his services to any business that really wants to understand their offering, target audiences and key messaging.

I have far greater clarity about the sectors my programme works best in and my strategy to win new business is really coming together.

Subsequently my service offer has now got far greater potential.
