In their own words
“My time with Emma was superb, very beneficial.” Paul Matthews, Director, Insight6 Sussex & Surrey
The fuller reflection

Building a customer experience consultancy from the ground up

Insight6 Sussex & Surrey is an end-to-end customer experience consultancy, helping businesses understand and improve the experience they offer their own customers, from mystery shopping and feedback tools to training and coaching. Paul Matthews leads the Sussex and Surrey region.

Paul joined the Big Ambitions programme to refine his marketing strategy and start attracting higher-value clients. He wanted to better understand his target audience, sharpen his messaging, and boost visibility, particularly through LinkedIn and his website, to drive more targeted engagement and leads.

“Emma took the time to understand both me and my business, helping me develop a much clearer marketing strategy. I now feel more confident in my approach, have greater visibility, and have already seen tangible results from the work we’ve done together.”

The problem

Doing great work, but not always reaching the people who needed it most

Paul had built a genuine end-to-end customer experience consultancy, the kind of business that helps other businesses get the fundamentals right. But like many specialists, he found that being good at the work and being good at telling people about it are two very different skills.

He wanted to better understand exactly who his ideal clients were, refine his messaging so it spoke directly to them, and raise his profile, especially on LinkedIn and through his website, so the right conversations could start happening more often, and with higher-value clients.
