Who's behind this

Harry Fletcher-Jones

Fractional Head of Marketing & CMO Author, The Propaganda Funnel B.Com, University of Auckland

I connect commercial strategy with practical execution: who we're trying to reach, what makes them respond, how the technology supports the journey, and how we turn that interest into a client relationship. That means advertising, landing pages, diagnostics, CRM, automation and sales follow-up — working together.

The Profile Financial Services results came from putting this approach into practice.

Getting someone to become a qualified lead is one step. What happens afterwards matters just as much.
