ABOUT MARTIN COX

You\'ve tried hiring a marketing manager. Didn\'t work.Brought in a generalist agency. Got vanilla tactics & a slide deck.Bought automation tools. Created more chaos than efficiency.Your business is doing £2M–£15M in revenue. You should be growing. Instead, something invisible is limiting you - & nobody has been able to name it precisely enough to fix it.That\'s not a growth problem. That\'s a diagnostic problem.I\'ve spent 20 years in marketing & sales, working with SMEs across Manufacturing, DTC, SaaS, & Fintech. I founded Postino.cc after seeing the same pattern repeat itself: successful businesses stalling not because they lacked ideas or budget, but because the thing actually limiting their growth was hidden in plain sight. Wrong constraint identified. Wrong lever pulled. A year of effort in the wrong direction.The businesses I work with aren\'t failing. They\'re failing to see clearly.Sometimes it\'s a positioning issue - sales & marketing have quietly drifted to different definitions of the ideal customer, & nobody\'s said it out loud yet. Sometimes it\'s a pipeline problem - the best people in the business are spending time on the worst opportunities. Sometimes it\'s execution - good strategies dying in the gap between the decision & the delivery. Sometimes it\'s the tech itself, it was supposed to reduce workload, instead it\'s become a fragile system held together by spaghetti code.We built a diagnostic framework to surface which of these is active in your business before the cost becomes impossible to ignore. We\'ve used it to help manufacturing clients cut sales cycles by fixing qualification problems they\'d been attributing to market conditions. I\'ve used it with DTC brands to identify attribution gaps that were sending budget to the wrong channels for over a year.We build what\'s needed - smart marketing, automation that doesn\'t break, AI that solves real problems instead of adding complexity to existing ones-On a personal note: I was diagnosed with ADHD at 47. It explained a lot. If you\'re a neurodivergent founder or work alongside one, I\'m happy to have that conversation separately from the growth stuff. The overlap between how ADHD brains work & how operational problems get missed is weirder & more useful than most people expect.If you\'re a founder or COO at a £2M–£15M business & the thing that\'s limiting your growth is something you can feel but can\'t quite name - that\'s exactly the conversation I\'m built for.DM me or connect.One last thing, expect pictures of Coco my pretty awesome Cocker Spaniel!
