Get to know me.

I've worked in b2b marketing since graduating in 1995. That's a long time.

After a period managing marketing in-house for an international safety equipment manufacturer, I spent a number of years in the agency sector working with global clients in pharmaceuticals, food, packaging, manufacturing, industry, oil and gas, aviation, automotive and more spanning North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Much of my work centred on building bridges and consensus between C-suite, sales and marketing functions and directors providing strategic planning and marketing communication plans that deliver on company growth goals.

Since 2015, I've worked on my own on a coaching, training and consulting basis.

I work best as a full-service B2B marketing partner, project managing strategy, design, content creation and distribution as appropriate, with specialist partners I have lots of experience with.

For retained clients, I design and implement customized marketing plans that work to build your profile, attract and engage the right types of customer, convert interest to leads and help you succeed.  

In driving forward a mission of making marketing child's play, it is my mission to help as many businesses as possible improve the results of their marketing and to make it as accessible as possible to as many people as possible.

This means guiding clients towards to the importance of robust strategic thinking and practical and consistent implementation.

About René

René has worked in a marketing capacity for 28 of his 30 year working life. When not thinking about the next project, idea or campaign, he juggles being a dad to four active kids, getting through a huge backlog of essential reading, and learning to play a guitar that has sat unloved for far too long. Long held ambitions include writing fiction and non fiction books, speaking at TedX and establishing a viable entrepreneurship programme for school kids. Don't hold being an Everton fan against him, he's not a bitter blue.
