Account Executive (Intern)

My agency journey started when I realized I wasn’t being paid my worth. I created over £20m in non-brand growth for the company I worked for

Only to be rewarded with a £2k pay raise.

This changed my career path forever—I knew owning my own business was the only way to be paid my worth (and gain my freedom).

I started with a men's accessories website, which failed…

But taught me the skills I needed to become a successful freelancer.

I was taking so many clients I had to build an agency—which I co-founded with my business partner. But despite our experience, it wasn’t easy…

We’ve built our agency through Brexit, the pandemic, and both ends of the economic cycle. But we pushed through, and built NOVOS to a 40-member team in less than four years…

Which I ended up selling to back our staff while I stayed on as Managing Director.

I used the proceeds to invest in two other agencies, mentor new agency owners…

And even fulfill my dream of building a house in North London (all while becoming a dad).

These days, I’m focused on building my personal brand and transitioning to a coaching role. My goal is to inspire and guide the next generation of agency leaders.

And if that sounds good to you, give me a follow.

You’re in a meeting, spill coffee on your shirt, and swear everyone’s staring.

Spoiler: They’re not.

That’s the Spotlight Effect, your brain convincing you the world’s got a literal spotlight on your every flaw.

Truth?

99% of people are too busy worrying about their coffee stain.  

The other 1% forgot 5 seconds later.

Studies show we overestimate how much others notice our mistakes by up to 50%.

Next time you: Send a typo email   

Trip in public   

Post a “cringe” story…breathe.

The spotlight’s in your head.

Hack: Ask, “Will this matter in 5 days?”

If no, it’s not a spotlight, it’s a flicker. Stop dimming your shine for an audience that’s not watching.

Tag someone who needs to turn off their mental spotlight.

Feeling burnt out with social media?

Here’s the fix.

It’s not about working harder or finding the perfect system the real problem is losing your creative spark.

Remember the excitement of starting your brand?

You were probably doing things that fuelled your creativity.

For me, it’s:

Writing content.

Exploring new AI tools.

Taking time to disconnect from screens.

I’m recommitting to these passions to reignite my creativity.

If you’re feeling on edge, rediscover what energizes you.

Build a business that supports your lifestyle, not the other way around.

What hobbies help you reset?
