SaaS · Technology · Marketing

Where marketing, technology and business model connect.

Most consultants know one discipline. I've spent 30+ years working across all three. I help businesses harness AI, build smarter digital strategies, and transform how they operate and grow, because real results come from joining the dots between technology, marketing and the business model.

The Challenge

Great technology means nothing without the right strategy behind it.

Marketing and Tech Don't Talk

Your marketing team and your tech team operate in silos. The result? Campaigns that don't leverage the platform and platforms that don't serve the customer.

AI Overwhelm

The AI landscape moves daily. Without someone who understands both the technology and the commercial application, businesses either freeze or waste budget chasing tools that never stick.

Growth Has Stalled

The business model worked to get you here, but scaling requires rethinking how technology, marketing and operations fit together. That's a different skill set.

What I Bring

The rare consultant who speaks all three languages.

Technology. Marketing. Business model. Most advisors specialise in one. I've built careers and companies across all three, and that's where the real leverage is. I don't just advise, I get in the trenches and build.

AI & Technology Strategy

Identifying where AI and automation deliver real ROI, then building and integrating the solutions. Not just tools, but technology that serves the business model.

Marketing & Growth

Data driven marketing strategy, SEO, analytics, and multi channel campaigns built on top of technology that actually supports them. 30+ years of making digital channels perform.

SaaS & Business Model Consulting

From idea to scale. Helping SaaS founders and technology businesses design business models, go to market strategies, and the technical architecture to support them.

Digital Transformation

Modernising platforms, automating processes, and rebuilding digital infrastructure. Connecting legacy systems to modern tools so businesses can move fast and scale up.

The Process

Simple, transparent, and built around you.

Discovery Call

We talk through your challenges, goals, and where the biggest opportunities lie. No jargon, no pressure, just an honest conversation about what's possible.

2

Strategy & Roadmap

I map out a clear, prioritised transformation plan. What to tackle first, what tools to use, and what the realistic impact looks like.

Build & Deliver

I roll up my sleeves and execute. Whether it's building an AI workflow, modernising your platform, or training your team, I deliver hands on.

About Julian

30+ years of building things that work.

I've been in the digital world since the BBS days of the early 90s, when a page took 5 minutes to load on a 300 baud modem. Since then, I've built commercial software, developed games, led international marketing campaigns, helped build and sell SaaS companies, and founded Jellyhound, a forward thinking marketing support company.

Today, I specialise in helping businesses navigate AI and digital transformation, building powerful marketing strategies using cutting edge technology and baking that into the business model.

More About Me
When I'm Not Working

A few things that keep me sharp.

Table Tennis

Competitive player. Fast reactions, reading your opponent, adapting on the fly. Not unlike a good strategy session.

Martial Arts

Discipline, focus, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. Translates better to business than you'd think.

Collage

Taking disparate pieces and making something new from them. Honestly, it's what I do professionally too.

Games Development

A lifelong passion. From early hobby projects to Sphaudio and Project Hull Breach. Where creativity meets code.
