Leadership

One person runs the whole program.

No account layer, no handover after the pitch. The person who designs your Web of Trust is the person who builds it, runs it and writes the report — which caps how many clients we take, and is the reason the numbers on this site are ones we publish.

Portrait of the founder of Charlotte.

Who you work with

Founder & Head of Marketing

Charlotte

Fourteen years running growth programmes, mostly in markets where the buyer checks you out thoroughly before they ever talk to you, and where one bad month of reviews costs more than a year of advertising buys back.

The last five have gone almost entirely into advocacy and third-party trust, for a boring reason: it is the only work that compounds. Paid media resets every time the budget does. A practitioner who recommends you in a thread is still doing it three years later, and the thread still ranks, now in AI answers too.

Charlotte exists to do that work for the companies where it matters most: SaaS companies and AI consultancies, whose buyers will not take their word for anything. It is slow, it does not photograph well in a quarterly deck, and it is very hard to fake. All three are reasons to do it properly.

“Most marketing reports are written to survive the meeting. These are written to be checked.”

Track record

Fourteen years, five seats, one discipline.

Agency side, client side, and now neither. Past employers are described by type rather than named. The through-line is that every one of these seats was a growth job measured on revenue rather than reach.

How I work

Small book, long engagements.

Managed spend has grown roughly six times since 2019 while the number of clients has not quite doubled. That is the shape I want: fewer programmes, running longer, with enough budget behind each to be worth instrumenting properly.

A hard cap on concurrent programmes — currently six.

Two-quarter minimum, because one quarter cannot clear a control group.

You get the raw data, not just the dashboard, including the parts that look bad.

If a programme is not working by quarter two, I say so before you ask.
