Practical help for businesses that want to grow.

I help teams put AI to work in their day-to-day, and I help founder-led agencies retain and grow the clients they already have. No jargon, no hype. Just hands-on, commercial support.

Two ways I can help
Services

Two services. One approach: practical, commercial, no nonsense.

Whether you want your team working smarter with AI or your agency growing the clients it already has, the way I work is the same: hands-on, focused on outcomes, and built around your business.

01

AI Workshops & Consultancy

For any team, any industry

Hands-on workshops that help teams cut through the AI noise and find practical ways to save time and work smarter, without the jargon.

  • Practical, interactive sessions, not lectures
  • Built around your team, sector and goals
  • Immediate time savings on real tasks
  • In person or online, one-off or ongoing

02

Client Growth Partner

For founder-led agencies

Most agencies don't have a new business problem. They have a client growth problem. I help agencies retain, grow and commercialise their existing client relationships.

  • Protect the revenue you already have
  • Grow existing clients systematically
  • Reduce founder dependency
  • From a free audit to fractional leadership

How I work

The same principles run through everything.

01

Practical over theoretical

Every engagement is built around your real work: real clients, real tasks, real numbers. You leave with things you can act on immediately, not a deck to file away.

02

Commercial first

Whether it's AI adoption or client growth, the question is always the same: where's the commercial return? Time saved, revenue protected, clients grown.

03

Implementation, not just advice

I work alongside you and your team to put changes into practice, building habits, rhythms and processes that stick after I've gone.

About

Hi, I'm James.

I've spent over 15 years working with senior leaders across global organisations, leading client relationships, growing accounts and helping teams navigate change at a culture and communications agency, most recently at senior account director level.

That experience sits behind both services. I know what it takes to grow client relationships because I've done it for a living. And I help teams adopt AI because I'm a business person who understands it, not a technologist talking at you.

15+ years in client leadership and account growth with global brands
Agency-side experience: I've lived the founder-dependency and over-servicing problems
Practical, outcome-focused approach: no jargon, no hype
Based in Devon, working with businesses across the UK and online

Whether it's AI, client growth or you're not sure which, the first conversation is always free, and always useful.
