Client Feedback
Duncan worked with Ecotribo to create a business plan and marketing strategy, including website optimisation, product development, and go-to-market / scale-up plans.
Duncan offered valuable action-focused advice and support, delivered at a pace and cost that exceeded our expectations.
I’m delighted to recommend Duncan’s strategy and coaching services to anyone seeking clarity or impact.
I had the pleasure of crossing paths with Duncan through LinkedIn while searching for freelance strategic support at DEFY Brands.
From the moment we connected, it became evident that we shared a deep-rooted passion for sustainability, not just admirable but genuinely inspiring. What struck me the most about Duncan is the way he thinks. His insights into sustainability, coupled with his strategic communication prowess. I’m excited about the impact he’ll make at DEFY Brands.
