Sam Pearce

I am on a mission to help small business owners think creatively about their business and present themselves in an authentic and creative way to their customers. Either as regular monthly support, or working on short-term, one off projects, my aim is take all the creative jobs you aren't good at or just don't like, and free up your time to do the things that light you up!

Carrying out due diligence on grant applications by interviewing applicants, assessing application proposals against ROI & analysing finances. Then making recommendations for or against granting funding and presenting arguments at panel
