Two Icons. Strategy, growth, people.

Grow Better.

What's next demands something different.

AI is changing how customers buy, how businesses compete and how value is created.

Two Icons helps established businesses understand what's changing, uncover new opportunities for growth and build the capability to turn them into results.

The two forces of AI

The external change

AI is changing the rules of business.

How customers buy. How competitors operate. What expertise is worth. How businesses create and capture value.

What does this mean for your future?

The internal opportunity

AI is creating new possibilities.

New ways to understand customers, improve decisions, redesign processes, develop people and create new sources of value.

What could your business become?

Marketing Leadership

Turn commercial opportunities into revenue.

Founder Advisory

Build a business that grows beyond you.

Growth creates complexity. Decisions, relationships and responsibilities can become increasingly dependent on the founder.

Experience through change

Built through change. Focused on what's next.

For more than 20 years, I've built and led businesses through economic disruption, the rise of digital marketing and changing customer expectations.

As Managing Director of Icon Visual Marketing, I navigated the Global Financial Crisis, the rise of Google and social media advertising, and COVID — helping clients adapt their commercial strategies while building and leading my own business.

AI is different. It may change how businesses create value, not just how they reach customers.

Read my story

“The architecture is what made the valuation work. Most founder-led businesses sell at a discount because the founder is the business. This one didn’t — because the commercial and structural architecture had both been built.”

Dan Kotynski — CFO, Honey Badger Digital · Acquirer of Icon Visual Marketing

From the Two Icons family

We're exploring what's next, too.

The changes we help businesses navigate are shaping our own work. Oversight reflects what we've learned about leadership and business growth. Sentio explores how AI can turn that experience into new organisational capability.

Book and methodology

OVERSIGHT: Leadership Architecture for Founders

A way to see what the business is asking of you.

Oversight explores founder dependence, leadership and a business that can grow beyond its founder. It is a way to see what the founder is still carrying, and what the organisation can hold.
