I'm the Founder of CatalystCo, a brand and marketing systems consultancy for founders, business leaders and growing companies. My work has evolved over 15+ years - from understanding customers and executing communication, to building commercial and growth systems, and now to helping leadership teams make their brand, business and growth systems work together. In that journey, I have: 1. Reframed businesses and products around clearer value and category narratives, moving communication from feature-led or internally focused stories toward customer outcomes and business value. 2. Built brand, trust, content, analytics, measurement and governance systems for growing businesses - so marketing becomes less dependent on individual people and more repeatable as the organisation scales. 3. Translated brand strategy beyond communication, into websites, leadership narratives, customer journeys, physical environments, internal systems, operating playbooks and measurement frameworks. The common thread isn't a particular channel, campaign or discipline. It's building the system around the problem. Today with CatalystCo, I bring that experience into founder-led businesses as a fractional brand intelligence and growth partner - helping leadership understand where they are, where they need to go, what's getting in the way, and what needs to change across the organisation to get there. On Topmate - I've productised parts of this approach so you can experience the thinking without immediately committing to a larger engagement. You can: → Get a second opinion on a problem you're stuck on → Diagnose your brand or marketing system → Work through a strategic challenge with me → Access practical frameworks and tools → Get career perspective and mentorship → Explore a deeper CatalystCo engagement when the problem calls for it The philosophy is simple: Diagnose before you prescribe. Fix what matters. Build systems that keep working.
