About Craig

My career has been built around one question : how do businesses grow?

During my career I’ve worked across brand, ecommerce, digital, customer experience and commercial strategy, helping organisations scale internationally, build marketing capability and navigate periods of significant growth and change. Most have been navigating periods of change, whether that meant repositioning a brand, accelerating ecommerce growth, modernising digital capabilities or preparing for the next stage of expansion.

I believe marketing has become one of the few disciplines that genuinely connects every part of an organisation. It sits between customer, product, technology, operations and commercial performance. At its best, marketing doesn’t simply generate demand. It helps organisations understand where growth will come from next and builds the capability to deliver it.
