Growth strategy for founder-led businesses — built from the foundations up, measured in results.
Book an Intro CallThere's a question worth asking any business that's hit a growth ceiling: do you actually have a business, or did you catch a lucky break? The difference shows the moment a channel weakens, a trend passes, or an audience moves on. Tactics and campaigns wear out — it's what they're built on that matters.
Growth built on solid foundations holds its shape when market conditions change, and strategy built on sound principles travels across any terrain — new channels, new markets, new economics.
That's the engagement Yusuf brings to the table: a close, advisory-level strategic partnership, working from the foundations up. Identify what's actually driving the slowdown, present a clear way forward, then work alongside the leadership team to build it properly — strategy through execution, everything pointed at revenue; top and bottom line.
“I engaged Yusuf as our Chief Strategic Officer, and his impact was nothing short of exceptional. His fluency in Arabic allowed us to gain trust and credibility at an accelerated pace, and he played a pivotal role in securing multiple partnerships, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Under his leadership, our events drove a staggering 1000% increase in candidate generation.”
“Working with Yusuf has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! He really takes ownership of marketing and he’s generated an enormous amount of money for our business. He acts as if he’s an owner in this business, which is so, so rare. If you’re looking for someone who thinks strategically and really understands marketing, then categorically work with Yusuf!”
“I wanted to generate more leads and sales online, without having to rely on sales teams working on the phone or at in-person events. Trusting Yusuf, we took a new approach, which has not only helped me re-engage and grow my audience to new levels, but has resulted in my best ever business numbers: more than doubling my average webinar sign-ups and show-rate, and increasing my sales by 400%! With Yusuf, we’ve sold out programmes in just 24 hours of launch and filled waiting lists. He is a marketing and sales genius, I cannot recommend him enough.”
“I’ve never made as many sales on my sales pages or got as many responses, opens and click-throughs to my emails than since working with Yusuf. If you’re sitting on the fence about getting someone to help with your business, then Yusuf’s your man!”
“Yusuf has been my direct report on numerous projects and his knowledge of direct response and strategic planning hasn’t been topped by anyone else I’ve ever worked with. More than any of his Marketing prowess I value his integrity and honesty. He truly wants what’s best for the business he’s working with and treats them like a partner in all that he does. I couldn’t recommend Yusuf enough, if you feel there are any gaps in your marketing function, reach out and I’m 100% confident he will assist you in finding a solution whatever industry you are in.”
“My market needed to hear things in a certain way, but not “marketing terms” — they’re resistant to anything remotely advertising/marketing related. It became clear immediately that Yusuf understood this. The best thing about working with him is the level of communication; he’s genuinely interested in you and your offer. I absolutely recommend him, with no hesitation at all. You’d be a fool not to hire Yusuf.”
“Big shout out to Chris (Fitdog Media) and Yusuf (McNulty) — you guys did an amazing job on my campaign! Previously, in 30 days I had just 30 sales of my online course… But in just 3 hours with a dope campaign and strategy, these guys got me 140 sales!”
“Yusuf was a big part of our marketing strategy and execution for 2 years and there were loads of campaigns we worked on that were highly successful. He helped mastermind the greatest direct mail campaign I’ve ever run, with a 4:1 return on investment! Yusuf is a great strategist when it comes to direct response, I highly recommend working with him.”
“We had a confusing and complicated business, but as soon as we got Yusuf onboard he looked at what was happening and immediately knew what to do. He simplified everything; our website, our funnel, our messaging. We’re now getting an incredible response! We sell high-ticket programmes of £30k+ so it’s really important that we resonate with our ideal client. If you’re looking for help with marketing, messaging and the strategic side of things in your business, then speak with Yusuf.”
“Working with Yusuf was a highlight of my career. He has this rare ability to cut through the noise and zero in on what’s actually holding a company back from growth. He’s a true leader. Always digging in, doing the work, and leading by example.”
“As Chief Marketing Officer, Yusuf has not merely led; he has uplifted, inspired, and transformed the team with a kind-hearted grace that is as rare as it is effective. Yusuf possesses an innate ability to connect with each team member on a deeply personal level, recognising their unique strengths and potential. His leadership style is rooted in empathy, patience, and an unshakeable belief in the power of positive reinforcement.”
