Marketing performance and measurement

When marketing performance stops adding up, I find out why.

I work with leadership teams to trace wasted spend, broken tracking and unclear accountability back to the source. Then I fix the few issues that move the commercial number.

What I am usually brought in to solve

Tracking nobody trusts

Platform, analytics and commercial numbers are telling different stories.

Spend without accountability

Activity is visible, but nobody can prove what is creating value.

A leadership gap

The business needs senior direction now, not after a lengthy search.

Ways to work together

Fee agreed to scope. Based in Alicante, working across the UK and Europe.

Most clients start here

Fractional

One to three days per week alongside your existing team: senior marketing leadership without the full-time salary, NI or notice period.

  • Typically 3 to 6 months
  • Ongoing strategic ownership
  • Agency oversight
  • Performance reviews
How fractional works

Project or advisory

A fixed-scope audit, attribution rebuild or agency review, or a few hours a month as a senior sounding board.

Projects typically 2 to 8 weeks

What I can take ownership of

Hands-on support, with senior accountability

  1. Interim marketing leadership

    I step in during a gap or transition and take ownership without waiting for a permanent hire.

  2. Performance and digital strategy

    I find where campaigns are losing money, then focus the team on the changes that matter.

  3. Tracking and attribution

    I reconcile platform, analytics and commercial data so decisions are made from numbers people trust.

  4. Team and agency accountability

    I set clear expectations, challenge weak reporting and tie activity back to a commercial outcome.

Mars

One performance structure across 13 brands and four markets.

I rebuilt the campaign taxonomy and tracking framework so spend could be compared properly, then used that visibility to move budget towards what was working.

Tata Communications

Digital contribution grew from £450K to £9M in two years.

I rebuilt the strategy, team and measurement behind digital, moving it from an experiment to a meaningful part of the commercial portfolio.

A practical first conversation

Let’s establish what is getting in the way.

Most calls take about 15 minutes. I keep 30 minutes available so we are not cut short if the issue needs more discussion.

Or send a message instead
  1. You explain the situation

    What is working, what is not and what you have already tried.

  2. I ask the questions

    Usually about tracking, accountability, ownership or the commercial objective.

  3. We agree whether there is a useful next step

    No sales pitch and no follow-up pressure. If I can help, I will say so plainly.
