"Thad is one of the most helpful, caring, and knowledgable mentors I’ve ever had. The combination of his industry experience, easy-going demeanour, and respect for others creates an educational atmosphere that is value-packed yet engaging.
During the pilot for Signature Service, Thad showed genuine interest in getting to know all the students and their business goals. His ability to strategise on the spot and customise advice made Q&A sessions priceless, exceeding my usual experiences of “gurus” giving rehashed, generic advice. I’m still in awe at his no-holds-barred approach to freely sharing his time, expertise, and feedback."

Grow through the top London Ad scene, to starting up on his own and conquering everything that he tackles. He’s a leader, an inspirer and an incredible talent. And I can say hand on my heart that every time I see him I learn more about the creative industry and what it is to be a Creative entrepreneur."
Ben Akers, Co-Founder: Made With+, Goodfest, Talk Club.

Amanda Jane Williams: Wave Media
“We were lucky enough to be one of the first to go through Thad's Signature Service course. The program forced us to think deeply about who we are as a company and why we do what we do. As a leader, It's easy to get lost in the grind and lose sight of your direction. Signature Service keeps you focused by aligning your brand with your vision and gives you the tools to stay on track. We are grateful for Thad’s knowledge and valuable insight.”
Lawrence Nee, CEO of Larch Industry LLC
“Are you so busy working in your business that you forget to work on your business?*
My business partner and I had settled into our comfort zone after a number of years in business. We were quietly content with business-as-usual and not looking at ways to diversify our portfolio, attract new clients or create additional revenue streams. Then COVID-19 happened.
Whilst everyone was now looking for ways to ‘pivot’ we were already one step ahead, having attended Thad’s Big Client Hunter workshop earlier that year. We set up a second business during lockdown to supplement our income and were soon working on a number of projects with new clients in the government and nuclear sectors.
The following year we joined Thad’s Signature Service to look at ways to grow both companies. The comprehensive but easy-to-digest webinars, worksheets and one-on-one sessions gave us a much better idea of how to achieve this goal and later that year our business was awarded the Business Growth Award 2021 by Cornwall Chamber of Commerce.
Thad is a superb business mentor with a wealth of experience and an engaging teaching style, encouraging frank and open discussion (and making sure you keep on task!). If you are looking to get the most out of your business then I would recommend having a conversation with Thad to see how he can help, whether that be through one-on-one coaching or by taking part in one of his captivating workshops.”
Spencer Woods - BigBox Advertising
“Thad is by far one of the best mentors I have come across. He is not only skilled in creative leadership which is grounded in business knowledge, but he also knows how to impart this through direction and guidance because of his excellent coaching and people skills. His recommendations and suggestions always come from a non-judgmental, empathic approach, leaving you feeling safe to be vulnerable with your specific struggles, knowing that he is always looking out for you.
Thad takes the time to ask you questions to understand your goals and objectives without superimposing his subjective biases and so his advice propels you forward. He’ll meet you where you are and give you tailored advice as to what’s best to do in your situation.
He understands improvement and results come from incremental coaching and not one set of directive orders to carry out with a changed person the next day. This is patient approach to coaching - whether you’re grappling with a business problem or trying to intellectually get your head around an attitude or process in the industry - has led to much clarity.
Thad is real. He doesn’t paint a fake, superior, flawless picture of himself, and that’s wonderful to know you’re in the hands of another human-a caring one!”
Muneebah Waheed - Muneebah Studio
“Creating a new business with a consumer facing brand is exciting but also brings with it self-doubt. Working with Thad when I launched my business was like having my own Creative Director, as invested in its success as I was.
Not only did he create an incredible design that reflects the In Ten Years Time philosophy perfectly, but he also challenged and inspired me on the way.
His communication with me during the creative process was unparalleled and his unwavering belief in my endeavour kept me feeling confident and optimistic about what I was attempting to create.
I would encourage anyone considering working with Thad to jump straight in without hesitation.”
- Tricia Duff - Founder of In Ten Years Time
“When I started with Thad, I was teaching Martial Arts as a hobby for a bit of extra cash. Three years later, it was a full-time, international business and my sole source of income.
From Re-branding to website design, advertising, business management, etc, Thad has not only helped me with this but also taught me the skills to be able to do it for myself.
Today, I would not be generating the income that I am without the guidance of Thad. I look forward to working with Thad for many years to come!”
Rob Ley: Rob Ley Academy
“I first came across Thad through his Creative Direction classes, which taught numerous invaluable lessons on how to run a creative business, how to be a better designer, how to get more clients and more.
Thad has a great way of providing feedback in a positive way and he is always on hand to answer any questions. Being able to call on someone for advice who has worked at the top level is both reassuring and helps hold you to a higher standard.
With Thad's help, I have gone from being a frustrated part-time designer with no real direction to being able to start my own agency working with awesome clients doing work I love.
I am extremely grateful to count Thad as a mentor and would highly recommend him to any designer or creative looking for direction on how to take your career to the next level.”
Stephen Oke - Creative Director, Exposuremachine

His fully tailored “Thaducation” approach to the proceedings have always been brutally honest, highly effectual, with lashings of tough love. He takes no prisoners but my goodness does he deliver the goods each and every time.”

Alex Kelerman: CEO of Kelermedia
“Thad has been instrumental in the creative department for The Proof of Trust. His work ethic alone speaks volumes of the output that he produces but also the level of quality and attention to detail is second to none.
Working in an environment whereby presentation decks are crucial and can be the deal-breaker for partners taking us seriously, puts a lot of pressure on the company. However, having Thad on board has helped tremendously alleviate this pressure. He has produced top-class quality materials that have been shown to some of the worlds leading organisations, top governmental chiefs & wealthy business people alike, who have all been blown away by our image.
Thad has been responsible for; Conceiving and implementing concepts, guidelines and strategies in various creative projects and overseeing them to completion. His collaboration with account executives to obtain knowledge of the clients' requirements, while Directing and motivating teams, to help them use their talents effectively.
Thad has helped rebrand the company from a dull technology start up to a company that looks well established and ready to take the London Stock Exchange by storm. Thad’s rebranding strategies at the right time have made the company compete with top tier firms.
The importance of maintaining a strong brand image means always catering to consumer needs and Thad has always managed to grasp this. This is why a large part of our success, and Thad’s driving point, is to continuously work to improve brand image by adapting to consumers and delivering effective messages.
The best branding strategies are enduring – they are built on a specific idea or concept that will never change. Think of your unique selling proposition (USP) or your competitive positioning statement; these elements will always incorporate a mission statement so that whatever opportunity or challenge a company may face, goals will always be aligned to end results.
Not only has the quality of Thad's work been to a high standard 100% of the time, but the strategic thinking and process behind the whole image of the company have been mainly down to Thad.
He has managed to navigate top blue-chip firms such as IBM and co-ordinate their senior staff into partaking in Hollywood Esque commercials, all Creative Directed by Thad himself.
Anyone who has worked with such corporations before understands this can be an ambitious job, but to produce quality captivating materials sets you apart and Thad certainly has done this. He has helped navigate the company meeting requirements set out by the London Stock Exchange and helping break the company through into various sectors globally with his connections and again, the vision of creative, strategic thinking & implementation.
Having worked in the professional industry for many years and managed hundreds of employees, it's scarce to come across colleagues like Thad. His role is so much more than creative directing, as he encompasses qualities to help drive organisations in the pressure-filled and fast-paced environments.
I would highly recommend working with Thad to any organisation to the highest standard & will undoubtedly work with Thad on many endeavours in the future.”
Adam Ali - Chief Compliance Officer: The Proof of Trust

As a result, we have a bold, clear and ownable identity that has propelled us to new levels of visibility and business growth. I genuinely think Thad is unique in the skillset he brings to any project or company and have been honoured to work with him over the years.”
