Henry Ryan, close former colleague and associate. Well respected in the businesses, and occassionally, bars about town.

“He understands Creative… the kind you only come across once in a while. I don’t say this very often… but he’s a keeper.  I’d probably let him marry my daughter.”

About Me

Thirteen years “officially” in the marketing world. Always keen to think big on helping build your brand.

I’m Laugharne (Larn). Based and raised on The West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. We should always capitalise ‘The’ of The West Coast. Make it a part of the official name, for goodness sake!

My core offering is in strategy, branding and marketing focused on helping the outdoor recreation, tourism and heritage sectors. Any businesses outside of this scope are considered on a case-by-case basis but the skills required are universally applicable.
