“Kit’s workshop was exactly what I needed. In four hours he drilled straight into the what, why, who and where of marketing, showing how wildly different companies share key similarities when it comes to marketing.
What stood out most was Kit’s ability to translate theory into action. He mapped our unique challenges, then handed us clarity on changes we can make to our marketing.
The time Kit took to understand each of our businesses, he knew about me and my business the minute I walked in the room, loved the humour and how at ease Kit made everyone in the room feel.”
