Solutions

Six ways I help brands grow

Each area works on its own — or together, as one joined-up plan from strategy to the shop floor.

01

Strategy

Market entry, country prioritisation, format choice (pop-up, shop-in-shop, own store) and rollout planning.

Cybex · Granado

02

Sales

Store and regional targets, action plans, commercial standards and negotiation with partners, landlords and suppliers.

Laura Ashley · Unibanco

03

Marketing

Brand positioning at the point of sale, marketing investment control and campaigns that bring people in store.

Laura Ashley · Cybex

04

Retail

Store development, category and space planning, project management of openings and refits — on time and on budget.

Laura Ashley · Granado · IKEA

05

Visual Merchandising

VM concepts, display plans, seasonal standards, manuals for partners and franchisees, and team training.

Massimo Dutti · Cybex · IKEA

06

Design

Retail and interior space design, customer journey, lighting, 3D in SketchUp and Revit, signage and POS graphics.

IKEA · Liberty London

Engagement

Ways to work together

Growth Diagnostic

Fixed fee

A review of your strategy, sales, marketing and stores, followed by a clear report with prioritised actions.

Ideal for a fresh, expert view of where growth is being lost.

VM & Store Guidelines

Project fee

A practical brand manual: fixtures, layouts, display principles and seasonal standards, ready for your teams, partners or franchisees.

Ideal for brands opening several stores or franchises.

Store & Pop-up Project Management

Day rate or project fee

End-to-end delivery of a new store, refit or pop-up: brief, design coordination, budget, suppliers, contractors, installation and opening.

Ideal for a specific opening with a fixed date.

Market Expansion Partner

Monthly retainer

Ongoing support for brands growing across markets — a few days each month as your on-the-ground strategy, sales and retail lead in the UK, Europe or Brazil.

Ideal for international brands without a local team.

Every project starts with a conversation and a written proposal with clear scope, deliverables, timeline and fees.
