"Brilliant in his ideas and kind in his manners."
"I had Simone by my side on the external team supporting paid advertising. Together we tackled various challenges: GA4, consent mode, pixel, digital tax, etc... His competence is beyond question, but what I appreciated most was the way he managed his team. Brilliant in his ideas and kind in his manners."

"One of the smartest, kindest and pragmatic people I know. "
Simone is simply one of the smartest, kindest and pragmatic people I know.
Not only is he quick to find solutions to complex problems, but he does this with a wider vision of anyone it affects in mind, including other teams, his direct reports and the wider company.
On top of this, he is a top man, genuinely kind and approaches everything with empathy and understanding. Is a great human to be around.Mersudin Forbes

"He brings clarity, direction and impact to every project."
“Simone manages to strike a brilliant balance of strategic insight, operational excellence, and genuine leadership. He is just as comfortable getting to grips with the detail as he is discussing the same issue at board level. He brings clarity, direction and impact to every project and for companies looking for support on how they drive growth & streamline operations, he’s a great asset.”

"I wouldn't be where I am today without his guidance."
He's one of those rare managers from whom you can learn simply by observing.
I think the best recommendation I can give Simone is telling him I wouldn't be where I am today without his guidance.

Why choose Simo P.?
🧠 Founder’s mindset.
Real founder experience, guiding you with empathy and strategy in every market scenario. I bring founder empathy and board-level strategies to guide your project.
💪🏼 You’ll get a CMO, not only a Marketer.
With me, you get a systemic vision: KPI clarity, team structure, and growth architecture. I help you build scalable, lasting marketing instead of sporadic campaigns that burn your budget.
📅 Real availability.
I work with very few clients at a time. That means your business gets my full strategic attention, without competition from others.
📈 Pragmatism: progress > hype.
I don't sell you the latest AI tool or viral strategy. I diagnose what actually matters for your business.
Then we fix it. Progress > hype.
🧑🏻💻 Hands-on + Strategic.
Comfortable with both data and strategy, I help you spot inefficiencies and upgrade your marketing thinking, whether it's in a spreadsheet, ADV Platform or in the boardroom.
🤝 Candid transparency at every step.
You always know where you stand: open communication, clear reporting, and honest feedback are guaranteed throughout the partnership. Only this way can we evolve together.
About me.
I’ve built, scaled, and exited agencies in Italy and London.
I know the pressure, uncertainty, and wins of the founder’s journey, because I’ve been there.
It’s what drives me to partner with companies looking for clarity and practical support.
Disclamer: I don’t work with everyone.
Contact me if…
You want a real partnership, someone who will challenge your assumptions.

Don’t contact me if…
You want a marketing “superhero” to save a company in free fall and with no resources.
You’re looking for magic hacks, quick fixes, or overnight results.
Urgency, chaos and drama are your way of working.
You are only looking for a yes-man.
You want someone to simply execute without challenging you on priorities or structure.
