Hello, I’m Andrew Stark.
No-nonsense marketing consultant and coach.

This helps them to create a clearer and more distinct proposition for their customers and creates a more effective market presence.
I do this by working with you, not just for you.

Time to tell your story. Let me help.

Creative Curiosity – what’s yours?

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.

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.
