“Oliver is unabashedly himself. Which, trust me, is a good thing. He’s transparent, hilarious, extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Having Oliver in your corner will be a great thing, as a consultant, sounding board, strategist and guiding hand to help you get to grips with your business journey.”
Flo Powell,
Joint MD Midnight Communications, Brighton
“I really enjoy working with Oliver. He brings a wealth of experience, clarity and candidness that is hard to achieve independently when you’re stuck in the day to day running of an agency. Highly recommend.”
Kate Steel,
COO, Broadlight Group, London
“Oliver is a great sounding board, a real creative talent, and has filled several key gaps in our knowledge. I know he will be an asset and great mentor to any organisation whether to provide help formulating business strategy, planning a new media campaign, developing a pitch to prospective clients or investors, or just to sanitise or refine an idea.”
Grant Price,
CEO, YOHO AI Strategy Consultancy, London
“Oliver embodies unapologetic confidence. With a knack for wit and humour, he effortlessly lightens the mood while imparting valuable insights drawn from his extensive expertise and years of experience. He is the ideal ally to have by your side. His role as a consultant extends beyond mere advice. He becomes a steadfast sounding board, strategist, and mentor.”
Marcello Claudinho
CEO, Paraiba, Brazil
“I met Oliver and took advantage of one of his Launchpad sessions. His perspective and knowledge on how I could build my business from overall strategy to the way my business becomes a brand was evident and so now we are working together with weekly sessions moving the plan forward. I felt like my business was stuck in the mud and I wasn’t enjoying it but Oliver’s enthusiasm, ideas and support have given me a new lift and my motivation now is through the roof for what the business is capable of achieving!”
Bruce Robertson
Founder, Statera Fitness, Brighton
“Oliver is one of those rare people who just ‘gets it’, balancing big vision and pragmatism. He’s a great listener who offers sound strategic advice and a healthy dose of positivity in any situation. Oliver has been instrumental in clarifying our ideas, structuring our value proposition and preparing our service for launch.”
James Cummins
CTO, Shrap, Bournemouth
Oliver delivered great results for me at the ATP and in Abu Dhabi. The work is creative, good value and delivers results. Oliver isn’t precious and is a pleasure to work with.
Phil Anderton
CEO, ATP, Monaco and Aljazira Club, Abu Dhabi
Oliver is the real deal – capable of immediately adding value to any project that he’s involved with and a creative and strategic marketer. On top of that he’s also a top guy, great company and a mean bass player !
Martin Barratt
MD, Realm Communications, Surrey
Our messaging and our core usp’s were the biggest part of our recent rebrand that needed work. They were simply not clear enough & costing us potential clients. We would have struggled to rectify this without the amazing services of fellow creative and strategist extraordinaire Oliver Russell whose advice & direction were invaluable. I can’t recommend his Launchpad sessions highly enough!
Kevin Murgatroyd
Creative Director, Backbone Studio, Brighton
Working with Oliver to shape Together Co’s strategy for our 25th anniversary has been an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience. Oliver has a remarkable ability to draw out creative ideas and inspire fresh perspectives. His engaging, dynamic approach created a space where our team felt energised and confident to explore bold, innovative concepts.
Oliver brings unparalleled clarity, wit, and expertise, effortlessly guiding discussions that might otherwise feel overwhelming. The strategy sessions he led were not only highly productive but also left our team with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement for the journey ahead. If you’re looking for a consultant who can turn complex challenges into creative opportunities, Oliver is the one to have in your corner.
April Baker
CEO, Together Co, Brighton
Who do you want to bring into your small business? Someone who knows how big businesses go about things.
This is what Oliver brings to the party but also applies it to your small business context.
– So it’s actually actionable.
– And so it will actually make a difference to your here and now and won’t require a big business budget.
Add to that, you want someone fun, who is fizzing with infectious energy and, frankly, is an ideas machine.
Oliver is certainly someone you want on your side, helping you to scale quicker.
Also, Oliver isn’t just a brand strategist, he kindly moderated the panel for the first ever Best Before hospitality networking event and was brilliant. He prepped up before the event, formulating thoughtful questions, took time to run the panel through them, weaved it all together, kept it on time and helped make the event a total success.
