As an independent digital marketing consultant, I'm not incentivised to sell you a new website, or a fancy new CRM, or a beautiful-but-ultimately-unnecessary rebrand.

I'm focused on helping you to identify and eliminate wasted digital marketing spend, better align your digital marketing activity to reach your target customers, and ultimately improve the performance of your digital marketing.

Not Sure If Your Current Digital Marketing Is Working?

Here's How I Can Help:

As an independent consultant, I provide targeted digital marketing services designed to maximize your ROI without unnecessary expenses. Each solution is tailored to your specific business goals, focusing on what actually moves the needle for your bottom line, not just vanity metrics. Whether you need to improve organic visibility, optimize ad spend, or leverage social platforms effectively, I deliver data-driven strategies that create measurable business impact.

1. Stop the Budget Bleeding & Find Your Hidden Growth Opportunities

Service: The Performance Audit

Most "Free Digital Audits" (as often advertised by agencies) are a waste of your time. They are usually nothing more than a generic PDF generated by a bot or a junior account manager using a script. Their only purpose is to find "problems" that justify selling you a monthly retainer. It's as simple as that.

I do things differently because my insight is the product … not the bait. I provide a deep-dive, manual diagnostic of your digital activity to uncover the "Good, Bad, and Ugly." My goal isn't to sign you up for more services - it's to give you the unvarnished truth about where your money is going. Whether you want an audit of a specific platform e.g. Google Ads, or across all your digital marketing activity, I can help.

  • 15+ Years of Expert Insight: You aren't getting an automated report. You are getting the benefit of my 15+ years in the industry and the experience of conducting hundreds of audits for businesses of all sizes and types. I see the patterns, nuances, and red flags that the likes of the typical agency "free audits" simply miss.
  • Identify Wasted Spend: I typically find enough leaking/wasted budget to quickly pay for the audit itself - often multiple times over.
  • No Hidden Agenda: Because you are paying for my expertise, I have no incentive to "find fault" where it doesn't exist. As I'm paid to do the audit, I have no incentive to try and force you to purchase any unnecessary ongoing services. If a channel is performing, I'll tell you. If your agency is doing a great job, I'll tell you that, too. Compare this to free digital marketing audits which are only ever a sales tool designed to try and get you to change providers, and nothing more.

3. Secure An Unbiased Ally & Trusted Sounding Board To Navigate Complexity and Filter the Noise

Service: Digital Advisory

The traditional agency model is built on "more" - more services, more hours, and more spend. My business model is very different. After the audit or strategy phase, many clients retain me as an independent advisor to act as a sounding board, a problem solver, and - when necessary - a "BS detector" for their other vendors.

  • Strategic Resourcing: I help you decide what to keep in-house and what to outsource. I'm not here to build a team of my own employees; I'm here to help you build your best resourcing model.
  • Hands-on Problem Solving: I don't just point out problems from the sidelines; I help you solve them. Whether that's providing technical oversight or helping with implementation where required due to resourcing requirements, I am in your corner.
  • Total Independence: Because I am an independent consultant, I give you the objective, unvarnished truth that a company always chasing "more" (from you) cannot provide.

"Sam has been helping us with our Marketing for about the last 6 months. Within the first month of using Sam we had more than doubled our inbound enquiries and with that increased turn over immediately. We started off with a conservative budget but after seeing a substantial increase in less than a month decided to invest more with Sam and the result spoke for themselves. Sam was able to put our investments into the right places to gain us the desired outcome in a very short period of time. He was able to keep us informed on where our money was being allocated to and used information and language we could understand to make sure we knew what was happening. I would highly recommend Sam if you are after an all-round marketing campaign without costing the earth but can offer fast results for your business. Thanks for all your help Sam and I look forward to another successful year together."

"In a (digital) world filled with cowboys, Sam breaks through as the real deal. Not only extremely knowledgable on a wide range of digital marketing subjects, Sam is passionate about the discipline too. I always find him learning something new; constantly tinkering and tweaking his ideas in the field through his own projects and experiments. Through this he keeps ahead of the pack and remains the person I turn to to add value through digital marketing to our clients' businesses. I have no doubt Sam can add value to your business too."

Sam's advice was critical to the success of this project. Not only did we make the transition successfully, we improved our search engine ranking and cleaned up our analytics in the process too. Sam has also audited our broader digital stack and provided some very actionable advice. Thanks Sam!"

"Sam gave us excellent advice that cut to the core of what we needed from digital marketing. Advice that no other digital marketing guru has given. It was around focusing our digital spend on trade customers rather than the typical end-user, and ways on how we can do this. Thank you Sam, we will be back for more business in the future"
