💰 Focused on business outcomes:
I connect strategy to revenue, growth, and your actual business goals. Every recommendation is linked back to your business objectives.
⚖️ 80/20 Prioritization:
Most marketing problems have 2-3 root causes. I cut through noise, identify what actually moves the needle, and help you focus there first.
Why choose me as a Marketing Consultant?
📈 Data-Driven and pragmatic.
I dig into your analytics, campaigns, and customer data. But I also know when "good enough" beats “perfect”.
📅 I work with your Team:
I don't disappear into a corner and deliver a deck. I work alongside your team, share context, and make sure the roadmap is something you can actually execute.

"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.

FAQs
-
Fractional CMO is ongoing partnership (3-6+ months, weekly touchpoints).
Project Consulting is a fixed scope (4-12 weeks, specific deliverables). Choose Project if you have a defined challenge, Fractional if you need ongoing strategic leadership.
-
I'm strategic first. But if something is quick and impactful, I'll do it.
For volume execution (campaigns, content, etc.), I can recommend trusted partners.
-
It varies depending on the project. Consultancy engagements are flexible and impact-focused, not hourly-based.
After a quick intro call, I’ll let you know if I’m a good fit for your needs and budget.
-
That’s something I typically do as a Fractional CMO.
In a consultancy setup, I can give you feedback on what’s working and where things are off, but I don’t step in to directly manage people unless we move into a deeper, ongoing collaboration.
-
Mostly remote.
I'm London-based and can join strategy sessions in person when needed. I've led remote projects for 10+ years. I know how to make it work.
-
Absolutely. Many clients start with a project (e.g., GTM audit) and then move to Fractional CMO for ongoing support.
We'll discuss what makes sense both before and after the project.
Let’s talk! :)
Just a clear conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
