About

Big agency thinking.
Senior-level delivery.
No layers. No passengers.

Founder-led, but not built around one pair of hands. We help businesses grow through clearer positioning, smarter strategy, strong creative and measurable marketing performance.

How we got here

Marketing, technology, psychology and hands-on design.

Martin started in agency media before moving through creative, direct marketing, web development, ecommerce and analytics. The tools have changed, but a lot of the early best-practice principles still hold true: do not talk at people, start a conversation.

Over the years he has grown agencies, devised strategies and managed teams and projects for UK and international brands. These days RYCM works independently with a trusted network of strong specialists.

Founder-led, not precious

Useful marketing thinking should feel accessible.

The site has a serious job, but the brand can still have wit. RYCM should feel senior, human and direct, not inflated.

The working stack

Comfortable where modern marketing actually happens.

From websites and ecommerce to paid media, analytics, hosting and AI-assisted content workflows, we work in the tools your marketing already depends on.

Here is what we do

  • Craft highly original creative solutions with real commercial credibility.
  • Understand your business needs and find the most appropriate solution.

  • Give you the hard sell on products or services you do not need.
  • Take on projects where we do not believe we can add value.
