Digital business consulting

Digital business consulting, simplified.

I help established business owners sort out the digital side: the plan, the people and the systems. You deal with me. I translate it, and my team gets it done.

One plan. One team. One person to call.

Sound familiar?

You run a good business. The digital side runs you.

Nobody owns it

The website, the ads, the emails and the data all sit with different people. Nobody looks at the whole thing, so nothing joins up.

Five companies, no plan

An agency for ads, a developer for the site, someone else for email. You spend your week passing messages between them.

It's been patched for years

The cheap agency, the nephew who does websites, a staffer minding the site off the side of the counter. It works, sort of.

How I help

One person who speaks business and digital.

Most owners don't need another vendor. They need someone who understands how their business makes money, and can turn that into clear work for the people who build it.

That's my job. I spent 12 years at Salomon selling to retailers before I started CurtisE Digital in 2008, so I start with your numbers, your customers and your seasons. Then I set the plan, manage the team and report back in plain words.

How working with me works
01

Strategy first

A Growth Roadmap that shows what to fix first, and why, before anyone spends money.

02

I translate and manage

You deal directly with me. I brief the developers and marketers, and check the work.

03

Done for you, if you want it

My team runs the plan month to month, so you never have to think about the website again.

The 9DB method

Nine steps. Foundations before scale.

Every client goes through the same nine steps. We fix the weakest step first, because pouring traffic into a leaky site only makes the leak bigger.

The foundation

  1. 1Discovery
  2. 2Strategy
  3. 3Solution

Every fortnight

  1. 4Pitch
  2. 5Build
  3. 6Promote

Every month

  1. 7Optimise
  2. 8Nurture
  3. 9Listen

Simple maths

Double your sales without buying more traffic.

If 2 in every 100 visitors buy today, getting that to 4 in 100 doubles your sales from the same visitors. That's why I look at what happens on your site and in your follow-up before I look at ads.

A good fit

You'll get the most from this if

  • Your business already turns over more than A$10K a month
  • You're happy to share so we can plan from real numbers
  • You want one plan and one person to call, not more suppliers
  • You're in it for the long run, like my longest client: 10 years and counting

Not a fit

I'm probably not for you if

  • You're looking for a quick hack or a guaranteed number
  • You'd rather not share how the business is really going
  • You want single services at the lowest price
  • You're just starting out and pre-revenue
