Engage

The situation determines the approach.

From focused strategic input to defined projects and ongoing advisory support, the level of involvement depends on what needs solving.

Ways to work together

FOCUSED

For a specific question, challenge or decision.

A concentrated piece of strategic work when something needs clarity, challenge or an experienced outside perspective.

This might involve positioning, proposition, strategic direction, leadership communication or a particular commercial question.

PROJECT

For something that needs deeper attention.

A defined engagement around a significant business, brand or positioning challenge where several things may need to be understood and brought together.

The scope is shaped around the situation and the outcome required, rather than a predetermined package.

ADVISORY

For when the value is in having the right perspective around the table.

Ongoing strategic counsel for founders and leadership teams navigating growth, change and important decisions.

This can range from regular advisory support to a more embedded fractional role, working alongside the leadership team where the situation requires greater involvement.

Discuss your situation

Not sure which fits? You don’t need to diagnose the problem before we speak. Tell me what is happening, what has changed, or what you are trying to achieve. We can determine what level of involvement makes sense from there.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

“Matthew supported us through a crucial rebranding process, helping us think through who we are, what we stand for and where we want to go. He quickly understood the complexity of our stakeholder relationships and knew when to support, challenge and move the process forward. Calm, insightful and highly experienced, he gave us confidence in both the process and the direction of travel.”

CEO @ Waldorf UK

“Matthew helped me rethink how I understood my professional experience. Rather than focusing on roles or job titles, he helped me identify the deeper thread running through my work: understanding complex problems, structuring ambiguity and helping people and organisations think more clearly. The process gave me a clearer sense of the value I bring and the direction I want to develop, particularly as my work evolves alongside AI. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone navigating a period of professional transition or discovery.”

Raji Aboulhosn (Personal Branding)

"Branding is quite abstract with a lot of nonsense, and for me confusion. I was initially very skeptical. But Matthew was patient, generous with his time, and honest, pushing my thinking to actually get things right, rather than letting me be comfortable in delusion. A great deal of clarity and structure was given, he made me realize that my operations and systems needed to vastly improve. Matthew is a grounded rock amongst a nebulous industry.

Managing Director @ Clear Cut Kent

“Matthew is a strategic thinker who brings focus and integrity to business decision-making. His advice is grounded in research, considered thinking and data, and he brings a level of knowledge and guidance comparable with global brand experience. I have worked with him in a variety of capacities over more than 15 years and value his ability to support companies at leadership and board level.”

Founder & Managing Director @ Wild & Flo

“Matthew was instrumental in helping me build my business platform from the ground up. He combines diligence, high standards and strong business expertise with a clear, confident and approachable manner. He performs exceptionally well in challenging situations and brings both professionalism and character to the work.”

Managing Director @ LAMBERT Wellbeing

"I had the pleasure of working with Matthew on a number of Expo 2020 Dubai partner activations. His ability to blend strategic thinking with day-to-day operations makes working with him a pleasure and a unique asset to any organization."

Founder @ Bjelosevic Advisory
