About Us.

The business comprises Chris Matthews, Sarah Watson James and a small number of technical specialists, as necessary.

Chris Matthews

Chris Matthews

Chris spent the early part of his career at an elite global accounting firm, then moved into marketing / communications services — growing, running, and transforming practices in communications and advisory environments. He won a PRCA Sword of Excellence for his work on a contested takeover; led one of Europe’s largest and most profitable PR firms; founded his own services business (with some stellar colleagues), scaled it, and successfully sold it. Today he advises founders on the economics of growth, management, and value realisation.

If there’s a rhythm to how marketing / communications services firms trip over themselves — Chris has seen it play out, sometimes painfully, often repeatedly.

Sarah Watson James

Sarah has held senior positions – COO, CMO – of large, regulated businesses, and also advises SMEs and marketing / communications firms on business matters. Sarah is very familiar with the challenges of working with independently minded, highly qualified professionals, in a commercial environment. Sarah’s skills encompasses coaching and training, HR advice, bookkeeping and operational advice and support.
