PUSH
Josh has always been at the forefront of marketing strategy consistently pushing the boundaries and finding new ways to drive business growth. Many of the strategies that Megaphone still employ to date were developed by Josh. This led to unprecedented growth within the agency over the course of my time there, which saw billable revenue quadruple in size within 3 years and allowed the agency to grow from 30 staff to over 100. Josh’s guidance and mentorship in marketing strategy enabled allowed many of the leaders within Megaphone to thrive and generate industry leading results for businesses in dozens of different verticals.
Tony Pedroso
Former Head of Accounts @ Megaphone
"Josh at minimum, is a marketing and operations genius and potentiall a whole lot more.
Whilst there are a many in intelligent marketers in the world there are very few who are as equally quick to execute.
This difference, is what sets him apart.”

Seán Finlay
Senior Designer
I had the pleasure of working closely with Josh during my time at Megaphone and it was under his leadership that I was able to develop and advance my own career, fine-tuning my digital marketing skills along the way. Josh challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and look critically at my work, which has proved invaluable both professionally and personally.

Marketing Agencies
❌ You stay dependent on outsiders to scale
❌The agency controls the levers — and you pay for every touchpoint
❌ Tactical execution only, no alignment with your bigger picture
❌ Generic playbooks recycled across clients
❌ Delayed feedback and reactive service
❌ You're on your own for internal training and leadership
❌ Remove the agency, and the results disappear
Coaching / Mentorship
⚠️ You still have to figure out how to implement everything yourself
⚠️ You’re left to connect the dots on your own
⚠️ Strategy only — no help turning ideas into results
⚠️ Abstract frameworks that sound good but don’t always apply
⚠️ Weekly Zooms and homework—not much help when things break mid-launch
⚠️ You learn frameworks, but no one mentors your team day-to-day
⚠️ If you stop the coaching, momentum usually stalls
