ABOUT ME
Welcome to Beyond the Grapevine! I'm Ben, and if you've been in the Media & Entertainment industry for a while you may well have seen me at trade shows or invading your LinkedIn feed.
With over 20 years of experience in marketing services, I specialize in developing and executing effective marketing strategies for companies of all sizes. My unique skill set, combining technical understanding, marketing expertise, and business savvy, has helped countless brands achieve their goals.
I founded Beyond the Grapevine to help businesses who either don't have their own senior marketing staff or need additional support to turn their uniqueness into a story and to take that story beyond the grapevine and tell it to the world.
Be it as a regular fractional CMO/marketing director or for specific projects, I love using my passion for marketing and the industry we work in to help you scale.
Oh, and I love wine!
I'm always happy to chat over coffee or beer about how I can help grow your business so drop me a line using the button below.
VALUES
Our values as individuals and businesses are the basis on which we build relationships with clients and partners. By putting values up front of any proposal, presentation or indeed website, you know what you can expect from working with Beyond the Grapevine.
Integrity
With great experience comes great temptation to rely on "gut feeling" decision making and intuition.
I commit to my work and decisions being backed up by data and other reference-able sources.
Transparency
Some consultants and service providers will hide their workings and sources to "protect" their intellectual property - but that's not the Beyond the Grapevine way. I believe in complete transparency in my work and in my working relationships.
Fun
If you're not enjoying it, why are you doing it?
Work can, and absolutely should be fun. Sure, I love marketing (and wine - did I mention that), but I also aim to bring that enjoyment and energy to all aspects of your business.
