Topics I Write and Speak About

Much of my work focuses on supporting SMEs navigate marketing more effectively, especially now as AI becomes part of everyday business.

On this blog, you'll find practical insights and straight-talking advice on...

  • AI and marketing strategy for SMEs,
  • Why AI content often sounds generic (and how to fix it),
  • How businesses can stand out in crowded and competitive markets,
  • Marketing messaging and copywriting that actually connects,
  • Attracting the right clients through clear positioning and visibility strategies,
  • Building a marketing system that works for your business (not someone else's)
  • Creating communities of loyal customers and raving fans.

If something here resonates with you, feel free to reach out. I'm always open to a good conversation about marketing - especially the kind that moves things forward.
