About
✅TOP 5% MENTOR | I fix marketing agencies - capacity, pipeline, staff, services
Running an agency is rewarding, but it can also feel isolating. Every decision, deadline and cash-flow wobble lands on your desk, and there’s rarely a peer to talk it through. I’m here to listen, advise and provide accountability
// My CSS Method
1️⃣Clarify - sharpen your positioning, pricing and priorities until the way forward is obvious.
2️⃣Stabilise - document processes, steady delivery and gain predictable revenue.
3️⃣Scale - overlay growth once the machine hums without you.
// What's the outcome?
- Every day has a clear plan (and a contingency for when the plan goes pear-shaped!)
- Your pipeline becomes predictable and manageable.
- Your team solves problems without needing your input every time.
None of this happens overnight, but it does happen faster when you have someone to bounce off.
// Why listen to me?
- I have 12 years leading marketing and ops across agencies and in-house teams.
- Former Head of Marketing at fatjoe, a lean, productised £12M SEO & PR agency.
- Current VP of Ops & Marketing at a 170+ staff SEO agency
- Consistently rated in the top 5% of mentors for clear, practical guidance.

I'm a new agency owner - about ten months into the game and I've been working with Dav for 2 months and mentoring can be weird an odd flow between waste of time and worth every penny. Dav, fortunately, is worth every penny and a really chill guy - who's absolutely in your corner with a grounded perspective and ready to jump on as needed!
