About

Hey, I'm Tom, a senior marketing leader, fractional CMO and agency owner with 15 Years experience. Over the past several years I've scaled 2 businesses to £7m+ revenue through digital marketing. Most recently I've been focussing on driving growth for start-ups and scaleups, and optimising SaaS product strategies for maximum impact. My story: Here’s a look at my career journey: 2013-17 – First marketing hire for travel company, grew and led the team for several years 2018 - Started side-hustle digital marketing agency, Goose Digital 2019 - Scaled travel company from 4 employees/£400k AR to 30+ employees/£7m AR 2020 - Covid decimated travel industry. Placed on furlough. 2020 - Dedicated myself entirely to my marketing agency 2021 - Took on our first few employees & grew our client base 2023 - Began working with BT, building & launching new digital & SaaS products 2024 - Scaled our first major agency client from £0 to £7m AR through digital marketing I currently run Goose Digital where we deliver results-driven, digital marketing solutions tailored to each client's unique needs. I firmly believe that transparency and honesty are the cornerstones of effective marketing, and I'm obsessed with ensuring that every marketing penny is spent efficiently, driving tangible results. Whether you're a business owner seeking digital marketing expertise or a fellow marketer passionate about driving impact, I'd love to connect and exchange ideas. Outside of the marketing world, you will normally find me running after my Irish Setter or 1-year-old son. 📢 Things I post about daily: Growth Strategy, SEO, PPC, AI, SaaS, Product Marketing, Design, Leadership & Management, CRO & everything in-between.
