Does your website cause you sleepless nights?
You are an expert at what you do. The digital side may be a different matter, and that’s completely understandable. Most organisations end up with a digital presence that grew organically rather than one they consciously chose and truly own.
Let’s change that…
What I Do
You might have a sense that your digital presence could be working harder. Or something has shifted and you cannot quite put your finger on why. Either way, the starting point is the same: understanding what you have actually got.
Most organisations find themselves dependent on platforms, tools and suppliers they do not fully understand. That is not a criticism, it is just how digital tends to grow. Knowing what you depend on, what is working, and what you could change, is rarer than you might think. That is digital sovereignty, and it matters more than most people realise.
That is where I come in. I work through your digital setup with you, not just the surface metrics but what is happening underneath. The kind of thing that explains why a site migration damages your organic rankings, or why your audience is not finding you the way they used to. No jargon. No sales pitch. Just a clear, honest picture of where you are.
And from there, we can work out what to do…
How We Work Together
Every situation is different. Some people need a clear picture of what they have got before deciding what to do next. Others are starting from scratch and need the foundations put in properly from the beginning. And all situations need a conversation before anything else.
Digital Foundations – Starting from £1,250
You need a proper web presence built on ground you own. A well-built WordPress site with technical SEO from the start, portable by design and hosted on infrastructure that works for your organisation. Managed hosting is available on an optimised server if you’d prefer everything in one place.
No lock-in. No ongoing dependency.
Digital Health Check – Starting from £3,500
A thorough review of your entire digital presence. Your website, traffic, conversion, tools, tracking, SEO and paid. Delivered as a clear written report with a video walkthrough within four weeks. You will know exactly what is working, what is not, and what to prioritise next.
Let’s find out what’s possible…
Digital Discovery – Free 30 minute consultation
Not sure where to start or whether any of the above fits your situation? Digital Discovery is simply a focused conversation. From there we work out together what the right next step looks like and put it in writing before anything begins.
And from there, the picture gets clearer…
About
I have been working in digital strategy for 25 years. I started out as a research scientist, which taught me to ask the right questions, sit with complexity without rushing to a comfortable answer, and explain findings to people who need to act on them.
That training shapes everything I do now.
I also run The Oak Sanctuary, a private healing space in Hampshire. The two things are not as separate as they might appear. Both are about helping people find clarity, understanding what is actually going on, and moving forward with more confidence than they arrived with.
That is what I am here for…
Digital Strategy in Practice
A luxury care group came to me with twelve homes and a digital presence that wasn’t keeping pace with their ambitions.
The first step was replacing an underperforming agency: a new site, then a clean handover of search and social advertising. From there the digital operation grew alongside the business for eight years, tracking from first click to occupancy, a website managed as a conversion tool rather than a brochure, and reporting that gave the board genuine visibility.
By the time the group reached twenty-four homes they had the infrastructure and the internal capability to take it forward themselves.
That is what digital sovereignty looks like…

Marcus clearly has my best interests at heart and I trust him totally. Having used other digital marketing agencies in parallel, the quality of his work is way ahead so I have now very happily given Marcus 100% of my business. He also has a cute sense of humour.
