Stop burning cash. Start unlocking growth.
For 24 years, I’ve worked both in the trenches and the strategy rooms. I’ve seen too many businesses pouring money into marketing that achieves nothing.
Random acts of marketing don’t just hurt your bottom line—they demoralise teams, stall progress, and disrespect the effort you’ve already put in.
I don’t do fluff. I despise it. Growth is the only outcome that matters.
Every hour you invest with me is focused on finding what works and stopping what doesn’t. Together, we’ll build a system for repeatable, measurable results.
I’ve been trusted by:
Very relevant. Sid was able to tailor the advice specifically to my company, which he had only just learnt about at the beginning of the call. Clearly, Sid’s advice is coming from many years of experience testing what does/doesn’t work.
– Dr. Arianne Ross, Founder, Jumelé
The trouble with most marketers:
Many agencies and consultants are built to maximise their financial security. Your growth is often an afterthought.
They stack up retainers to guarantee a steady monthly revenue, keep their teams comfortably salaried, and let juniors learn on your time. Meanwhile, you’re left wondering:
- What’s actually happening with the fees I’m paying?
- Are those hours driving growth, or even being used?
- Why does progress feel so… slow, flat, or invisible!?
It’s a self-serving model that rewards activity, not outcomes. A model where accountability is optional, and clarity is rare.
Their retainers start to feel like expensive gym memberships: you sign up with good intentions, they bank on you staying in the dark about results, and they keep charging you month after month.
Here’s how I’m different:
I focus on one thing: driving your growth.
You get C-level leadership, customer-led strategies, and hands-on execution—all tied to outcomes, not just activity.
- Preferential packages: Effective rates from £125/hour.
- Transparent time tracking: Every hour is visible, accounted for, and focused on progress for you.
- No lock-ins: Full flexibility to scale up, scale down, pause, or stop our partnership anytime. I’ll refund unused hours*.
- Complete visibility: Weekly check-ins, screen-recorded report walkthroughs, and a live strategy board keep you in control.
- Hands-on delivery: From strategy to scaling, I embed with your team to make growth happen.
* I’ll calculate the hours already used at my standard rate of £210/hour. The remainder of your payment, if any, will be refunded.
Brands I’ve helped grow:
Sid is a true growth hacker. No matter the challenge, his response was always positive: “If you can imagine it, we can do it!” His ability to investigate, experiment, and deliver was vital in growing my business. Thanks to his involvement, we delighted our customers and scaled successfully.
Sid has been a trusted advisor for over ten years, supporting my two online and one in-store ventures. His honesty and trustworthiness are rare in marketing. Without his guidance, I would have faced costly mistakes with suppliers and struggled to grow as I did.

I had a call with Sid. In less than 30 minutes, he instructed me on how to think about and run growth experiments, and then went on to set up some initial data sources and dashboards. It was amazing, it felt like walking into an oasis and getting a cold glass of water.
Finally, for the first time in 15 years, I have a structure and strategy for growth, and the visible metrics that will enable me to see what’s working.

Why founders trust me
I’ve put in the hours, 24 years of them. In my first decade, I was doing 16-hour days. The next five? 12-hour days. Even now, I invest nearly 10 hours a day into my craft. When I’m not working for clients, I’m learning, testing, and building.
I’m not here for marketing theatre or to play at being a marketer. I have little patience for wasteful tactics that add no value to your business.
I’m an entrepreneur myself. I’ve run businesses. Sit on leadership teams and boards. I advise founders almost every day.
While other marketers are still debating a campaign brief or what colour the button should be, I’ve already written the copy, built the landing page, created the ads, wired up event tracking, set up CRM automations, and deployed the tests.
Founders hire me because I focus on outcomes that matter, usually, after being burned by others who have wasted their time, money, and patience.
