About Clive

1. Leadership Experience You Can Trust to Deliver On-Demand

The recruitment of senior level sales and marketing talent cannot be taken lightly, meaning that the hiring process is often lengthy as organisations assess candidates.

2. Add Expertise NOT Permanent Headcount

Similarly, if senior level sales and marketing expertise is only required for a certain length of time – perhaps to oversee a complex multi-channel route to market project, launch a new brand or to produce a series of high-quality training videos – it makes little sense to add to your organisation’s permanent headcount.
