Meet your growth team.

Byron Marr

Founder

I’ve been advertising for over 10 years. During that time, I've taken numerous businesses from zero to million pound annual run rates via ads.

My approach to advertising is commercials first. Build from the ground up, what can a client afford to spend to acquire a customer and where is that most likely to be achieved.

I take a systematic approach to growth. I identify where the blockers are, fix them and then increase investment. This often takes us into the realms of tweaking proposition, messaging and looking at international market opportunities.

My knowledge extends far past campaign side advertising into bespoke development solutions, broader commercial understanding and attribution. This helps to close the loop on campaign side challenges and opportunities.

I’ve spoken at leading international conferences such as BrightonSEO and SMX Munich and was voted a “The Top 50 Most Influential PPC Expert” by PPCHero.

“Byron is so rewarding to work with. He brings energy, focus and application to achieving the best outcomes for his clients, team and agency.

He really listens, loves to learn and to challenge the status quo. He cares about his team and constantly looks for ways to develop their potential and his own.

He is his own man, does what he says he going to do and says thank you for a job well done.”

Marcus Richardson

Chairman/advisor

My last “working for” was as the youngest M.D in the Caudwell group, a group of 6000 staff with T/O of £3 billion + at the age of 30 and I can assure you I wasn’t really good enough at the time although thought I was! From here I catapulted myself into my own enterprises and the real learning began.

Today with multiple businesses, corporate finance deals, PE experience, acquisitions, international businesses and above all else many stellar management teams developed. I now chair/NED and invest my time in building great teams and in turn fantastic businesses in any sector anywhere.

My journey is always about PEOPLE, working alongside the very best to learn, hone skills, knowledge and latterly recruiting and inspiring the best in all of my business dealings, I aligned myself with brilliant UK entrepreneurs who built business empires from scratch to billion pound enterprises and squeezed their heads being privileged to learn amazing skills and knowledge for my future.

“Marcus has a distorted view on reality where anything is possible and without that many teams and individuals including myself would not be where they are or where they thought they could be!”

Mike Johnson

Head of Delivery

I’ve been working in paid media for 7 years, focusing on Google Ads & Meta Ads. I manage six-figure monthly spends and drive high growth for both b2b and eCommerce clients.

I’m highly experienced in post-click analysis. Finding out what happens when a user visits the site and ultimately making the high value changes that allow acquisition to scale. This adds huge value to a business as the opportunities often benefit all marketing channels.

I thrive working with scale-up businesses that are ambitious and willing to experiment to fuel profitable growth.

Having studied Marketing and Psychology, I can bring broader topics into the conversation to develop a killer strategy that grabs the customer's attention and fuels growth.

Primary background: eCommerce and b2b in the UK & US market

“I’ve worked with Mike for over 4 years and he’s not only helped grow our business but also grown our marketing team’s knowledge of digital. He focuses on the areas that will have an impact on performance and breaks this down on calls in an understandable way. We always leave our catch up calls with clear next steps and a better understanding of how our campaigns are performing with complete transparency.”

Managing key accounts, I’ve delivered significant commercial growth and performance, whilst also building great relationships with my clients along the journey.

Having worked in digital for six years in total, I love to blend my creative side with the data in the campaigns, focusing on the “why” behind a user’s journey to unlock additional performance.

I enjoy working with businesses that love to test new ideas and have an eagerness to grow.
