Strategic marketing judgement for founder-led industrial businesses.

For B2B SMEs in manufacturing, engineering and industrial sectors with export ambition — I turn unclear positioning and ad-hoc marketing into a strategy that drives growth.

The method

Diagnosis, then strategy, then tactics.

Most marketing fails because it starts at tactics — buying activity before the position is understood. Every engagement runs the same three stages, in order.

Diagnosis

Understand the position before proposing anything — channel audit, funnel review, market & competitor scan.

Strategy

Decide where to compete and what to say — positioning, proposition, segmentation and objectives.

Tactics

Execute, measure and refine — the visible marketing, built on foundations that make it effective.

About

Experience, not agency theatre.

I’ve led marketing functions inside complex B2B and industrial businesses — Head of Marketing at Sappi Europe (€2bn, Brussels) and Paragon Group (€1bn, Dublin) — with a consistent record of delivering on growth KPIs.

Where a brief demands it, I draw on a trusted network of specialists in SEO & AEO, CRM and automation, UX, and design. That’s why I write as “we” — the capacity is real.

Build the foundations first — so every tactic that follows is pointed the right way.
