Richard is smart, passionate, and empathetic - he is brilliant at biz dev, in both marshalling the content and in coaching great performances from pitch teams.

Lindsay Pattison - WPP Chief Client Officer
Why work with me
As an experienced agency leader with significant tenure with three global holding companies (WPP, Publicis and IPG), I bring immense real-world experience and counsel. I’ve had the honour to have run some of the UK’s biggest media accounts and some of its smallest – each presenting their own challenges. I have run scores of new business pitches and involved in hundreds more across domestic (UK), regional and global markets, winning over $3bn in billings and millions of pounds/euros/dollars in revenues.
Whilst at Maxus (WPP) I developed and delivered training in pitch management and craft skills to over 300 senior staff. This training programme saw global pitch conversion rates improve by 40%. I have mentored new business leaders on a one-to-one basis to improve confidence and self-reliance. My pro-bono work includes helping train the team at Barnardo’s UK, to help improve their fund raising via corporate pitches.
As global head of content at Wavemaker (WPP), I was heavily involved in the merger of MEC and Maxus and then combined and led the content practices from to create a $120m+ content business with 750+ staff in 50 markets.
