Process

How it works

A simple process to get you going fast:

1 . Book a call

We jump on a call where I can learn about your business, goals and best ways we can help.

No hard sales. I only work with a small amount of users at one time so we're checking for mutual fit.

2. Audit

If we're a fit, I do a deep audit of your product, user journey, analytics and market.

We come together, analyse your current strategy and find the best ways to move forward for you.

3. Iterate

Based on data, customer feedback loops, and a small dose of intuition, we'll double down on what's working.

We eliminate what isn't, and clear the necessary roadblocks to help you keep growing as your needs evolve.

Some ways that i've helped companies

What Founders and Marketers have said

Reduced Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) by 30%

We were testing on a number of different channels without clear direction. We had started to experiment with messaging but hadn’t figured it out.

After working together with Theo, we had a better picture of what to focus on, what messaging would work for our audience and what next steps to take.

Alex Chumbley

Co Founder, Fable -
YC W21
40x Increase in Investment Volume


Theo helped set up processes, built useful playbooks and trained team members during a period of rapid growth at Republic.

Analytical, reliable and easy to work with, Theo helped improve some of our key marketing KPIs and set up a strong foundation for us to build on.

Nick Marshansky

Theo helped us to define our growth strategy and the acquisition channels to focus on. Theo worked closely with our growth team and implemented a strong experiment framework, which we are now working from.

Theo’s structured approach and great energy really helped to push our team in the right direction!"
