Dennis engaged Martin to complete an audit and validation project across one of it’s biggest digital brands. Through the project, Martin spent time with key stakeholders and the wider editorial team to understand, identify and validate the market fit for our new proposition. We were thoroughly impressed with his output and recommendations. He left key members of staff actionable insights and reports that are still in use today.

Martin came into Beano Studios, initially as a consultant and hit the ground running right away making a real difference to our digital, content, platform and audience growth ambition. It was a time of great change for Beano and so it needed Martin’s calm and expert experience. Martin made such an impact that we offered him a full time role and he continued to add value all the way through.
