Explore working together

Transformation Partner. Embedded Operator. Trusted Leader.

Project Wow helps digital, creative, and marketing agencies navigate economic pressure, AI disruption, talent challenges, and rising client expectations — by strengthening their operational foundations and building modern, scalable ways of working.


Not consultants. Not theorists. Hands-on leadership inside your agency, shaping systems that actually work.

Struggling with scaling, alignment, or delivery performance?

  Most agencies hit the same barriers as they grow:

  • Delivery becomes inconsistent
  • Teams burn out
  • Processes get messy and overly complicated
  • Profitability swings unpredictably
  • Leadership bandwidth disappears
  • Everything feels urgent - all the time


You’re not alone. And none of this means your agency isn’t good,  it means your operating model has reached its limits.


A fractional COO gives founders the space to lead again, removing the operational weight while strengthening the system that supports the business.

Growth creates complexity and complexity slows you down.

When an agency scales, the original way of working stops being enough. What got you here won’t get you where you want to go.

This is where I step in. I help rebuild your agency's operating model so it becomes clearer, calmer, and capable of supporting sustainable growth.

Services

Fractional COO & Agency Transformation

Part-time COO. Fully embedded leadership. High-impact operational change.


I join your leadership team as your COO — not as an external advisor, but as an embedded operator who works inside the business to drive clarity, stability, and performance. As a Fractional COO, I focus deeply on your agency to build meaningful relationships and deliver real, measurable progress.

 

Ideal for agencies that are:

  • Experiencing growing operational complexity 
  • Needing senior operational leadership but not full-time
  • Struggling with delivery consistency or predictability
  • Seeking to improve utilisation, margin, and forecasting
  • Wanting more clarity, rhythm, and alignment across leadership
  • Preparing for scale and needing a stronger operating model
  • Lacking bandwidth at founder or director level


As Fractional COO I provide:

  • Senior operational leadership inside your agency
  • 1–3 days per week of hands-on COO support
  • Real-time access via phone, email, and messaging
  • Practical transformation implemented directly with your teams
  • Access to my network across operations, delivery, technology, AI, and people leadership
     

How I work:
I diagnose what’s slowing the business down, design and embed a modern operating model, align leadership, strengthen delivery, improve margins, and build capability across the organisation.
The aim is simple: your agency becomes clearer, calmer, more predictable and able to run effectively without relying on heroics.

   

Interim COO (6–12 Months) & Agency Transformation

Stabilise today. Build tomorrow. Prepare your next COO for success.


When your agency needs full-time operational leadership immediately — but isn’t ready or able to hire a permanent COO — my Interim COO service provides complete operational ownership with a defined exit plan and smooth transition.


Ideal for agencies that are:

  • Experiencing rapid growth or scaling challenges
  • Restructuring teams or redefining their model
  • Recovering from delivery, margin, or cultural issues
  • Preparing to hire a permanent COO
  • Navigating founder transition or succession
     

As Interim COO I provide:

  • Full operational ownership (typically 4–5 days per week
  • Leadership of delivery, operations, people, and organisational rhythm
  • Redesign and modernisation of your operating model and WoW
  • Coaching, support, and development for your future COO or operational leaders
  • A structured handover back to the CEO or incoming COO
  • Systems, processes, and behaviours that continue working long after I’ve stepped away
     

How I work:
I step into the business as your acting COO, stabilising operations, aligning leadership, improving delivery, rebuilding confidence, and preparing the organisation for its next phase.
My goal is to leave your agency stronger than I found it — with a capable team and a scalable operating model ready for the future.
