In numbers📈 ~1000+% increase in customer LTV⚗️ 100% increase in product experimentation🎯 Pivot: Reorganise team and budgets around new commercial reality
The context
Publishing is undergoing enormous disruption. This is only likely to accelerate.The company had a major brand asset with commercial promise. The market was based on SEO user acquisition and ad revenue.The market was being disrupted, almost in real time. This was existential. We had to act fast.The Work
We did 3 things immediately:
1. Build a lean product engine;
2. Baseline performance numbers (product and delivery) against new targets
3. Reorganise the roadmap around proven commerical demand and the brand's strengths.What we achieved
Proven demand and increase LTV
We found proven demand for customer LTV in excess of 1000% of the current model. We did this cheaply (small team, rapid build) to build confidence from evidence.Product pivot and team reorganisation. A roadmap to getting us where we wanted to be, not where we were. Up-skilling and tooling for the new reality.

15+ years at the intersection of data, tech and productAfter an education background in Computer Science and Publishing, I led teams building digital products in publishing, public services, finance, tourism and media.Not content with this, I did another degree in maths and economics, and training in machine learning to help me understand and analyse and understand industry disruption.I have since setup innovation teams, built lean product processes and taken on exciting and challenging product problems with many other teams.I’ve led projects with millions of daily transactions, built machine learning products from lab to launch, and delivered product teams and data architectures that power both B2B and B2C products at global scale.This century is all about disruption. The people who succeed with understand the waves of disruption and will build teams who can navigate that.I am the calm person in the room who can analyse the problem in the domain expertise needed, build the team and systems around how we execute.If you have a digital product to build, let's talk.
