WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT ANDREW STARK, MARKETING CONSULTANT AND COACH
He immediately took a caring, genuine interest in me and my business and offers balanced advice, suggestions and recommendations whilst working with me to set goals at a realistic pace.
He helped me at a time where I was trying to achieve a lot in a small window of time - setting up my own business.
He quickly demonstrated his understanding of the challenges within the retail sector, and built a website which clearly reflected my business and the services I operated within.

It's hard to put into words the value he's added to our organisation -
from dragging us into a more modern world to meet out customer demands online, or positioning us well in front of prestigious Michelin-Starred chefs and restaurants - he's been very instrumental for which we are extremely grateful.
Managing Director & Keeper of the Quaich
Wright Wine & Whisky Company
He's clearly passionate about creating communications which customers can understand.
Also, he challenged our thinking - helping us arrive at solutions rather than dictating what we should do.
I really enjoyed this approach.

Creative Curiosity – what’s yours?
I’ve come to recognise (within myself) the need for a creative outlet; to create something from nothing, the desire to discover something new and also, to spend time in nature.
I now call this ‘Creative Curiosity’ and it’s part of my weekly schedule.

Tech sales mistakes to avoid.
Imagine all the hard work of your sales and business development teams failing close to the final hurdle? The time, the cost – the frustration.
A large part of what I do is help organisations to consider these problems and resolve them before they’ve spent the time getting to that important meeting / proposal and presentation.

Learn to let go. (Aka ‘Shikita ga nai’)
I’m sure a lot of people now know the term “Ikigai” – life purpose.
It’s often used in coaching and personal development with regards to defining your personal meaning of life – taking into account your talents, passions and profession. Get this right, and your job isn’t really a job.
