Emma Sexton

Advisor

“Emma is a phenomenal entrepreneur, badass, visionary, branding genius, and more. She built a fully remote agency before such a thing existed. She is a top-class design thinker, and strategist and one of the smartest commercial people I know.”

Crystal Eisinger, Ex-Google | Ex-CEO

Experience

If you are a ‘spike-y’ and ‘spoke-y’ agency, Emma can help. Because she believes your agency model is the future.

But if you are a practitioner now running a business, you are going to encounter a lot of the challenges she went through:

  • Feast or famine - an unpredictable pipeline

  • No fly wheel - so you get very busy but you don’t build momentum

  • Limited business experience / acumen - so you are bound to make the same, common mistakes

As if being a Creative Expert In Residence at the King's College Entrepreneurial Institute and a Designer in Residence at Imperial College London’s Enterprise Lab wasn’t enough, Emma is also the brains behind the Inside Out Awards™, Europe’s only awards for in-house creative teams.

What Emma’s clients say

“Conversations with Emma are exciting and energising. While her experience and insights are razor-sharp, it is her ability to practically apply them to different problems, organisations and people which is most remarkable. If you need a nudge (or something more substantial) to focus your activities or clear the fog of uncertainty that surrounds creative and entrepreneurial endeavours, there's no one else I'd want to talk to.”  

Devraj Joshi, Founder, Whatever Together
