Hello, I'm Ian.
I've spent 25 years in digital, working with businesses of every size. I'll look after your website, systems and suppliers, build what you need next, and explain it all in plain English, without the jargon.
I’ve run agencies for most of my life. Now I can be your mini agency.
What I do
I use high-level, practical and cost effective methods for you, and your business to overcome almost any challenge.
You don't need a department. You need someone who knows how it all fits together, and who'll actually pick up the phone.
01
Everything you already run on, looked after properly.
02
The next thing, from an idea on a napkin to something that works.
03
Fewer repetitive jobs, clearer numbers, better decisions.
What you run on
Most businesses I meet have bits everywhere: a domain bought years ago, a website someone else built, email in one place, files in another, and a handful of suppliers who each know one piece.
I start by drawing the whole thing out, so you can finally see what you've got, who has the keys, and what needs sorting first.
Why me
You won't get passed around a team or handed an account manager. You get one person who's been doing this for 25 years, who knows what's worth fixing and what isn't, and who'll tell you straight.
Ever feel like the sole survivor?
When you run a business, you end up doing a bit of everything. I know, because I've been there. You don't have to be the one holding the whole digital side together on your own. Digital done right can bring everything nicely together and automate a lot of your workload, and your team’s too.
How it works
Tell me what's driving you mad, what's costing too much and what you'd love to do next.
First, I look for the big wins: the changes that will save you the most time and money, or help you have more.
Then we run as much as we can on autopilot, leaving you free to run your business and do the work you love.
Big names, small independents and charities. Now I bring that same experience to small businesses, without the big-agency price tag.
About me
I've spent 25 years in digital, working with businesses of every size, from household names to one-person start-ups.
Along the way I've built websites and apps, designed systems, managed teams and suppliers, and pulled messy data into something people can actually use. What I'm best at is seeing the whole picture, working out what matters, and getting it done.
I keep things simple. If I can't explain it in plain English, I haven't understood it well enough.
Not at all. Most of the people I work with aren't. You know your business and I know the digital side. I'll do the techy bits and explain anything you need to know in plain English.
No. Big agencies only give you one-to-one care if you pay big money. With me you get one person who genuinely cares about your business, and it won't cost the earth.
Yes. I'll help you work out who your customers are, what to say to them and where to find them. Then I'll make sure your website, email and tools are all pulling in the same direction.
Of course. I'm happy to work with the people you already have. I'll keep everyone on the same page, so you're not stuck in the middle.
Yes. Small jobs are often where the big wins are hiding. Tell me what it is, and if I'm not the right person, I'll be honest with you.
I've worked with everyone from big names to local independents and charities. These days I focus on small businesses and owner-run teams.

Tell me what's going on. No forms, no jargon, just a conversation.
