Market research and business analysis work supporting commercial and business decisions in an agency environment.
The work included structuring research questions, reviewing market and customer information, comparing competitors and alternatives, identifying relevant patterns, and translating findings into practical recommendations.
The focus was not only on collecting information, but on turning it into a clear view of the market and actionable next steps.
Sensitive client information and proprietary data have been intentionally excluded.

Your title slide decides if investors keep reading. Right now, it looks like an AI generated it in 2 minutes.
Investors open dozens of files a week. Every second deck starts with the exact same AI-generated layout... same default fonts... same generic "Company Update 2026"... 🤖
When you ask for millions to fund commercial properties, aesthetics equal trust. A lazy title slide sends a clear message. It says you cut corners. It shows a massive lack of attention to detail. You burn your credibility before the investors even see your financial models.
I recently redesigned a deck for a real estate investment group. They used a basic AI template with a low-quality stock photo of a skyline. We scrapped it entirely. We built a custom grid, added a single high contrast architectural shot, and wrote a one-sentence value proposition. That simple shift instantly framed them as top-tier institutional players.

24-Hour AI Workflow Blueprint — From Business Problem to Practical AI Plan
I developed a practical workflow-review system designed to help small businesses identify where AI can genuinely save time — and, just as importantly, where human judgement should remain in control.
The process starts with a structured business questionnaire covering repetitive tasks, existing software, time-consuming processes, desired improvements and areas that should not be automated.
That information is then analysed to identify bottlenecks, quick wins and realistic opportunities for AI assistance. The resulting Blueprint provides prioritised recommendations, practical workflows, suggested tools and prompts, implementation steps, and clear human/AI boundaries.
I also built and tested the supporting intake and delivery workflow so the complete review can be produced within 24 hours of receiving the required information.
The objective isn't “AI everywhere”. It's less repetitive work, clearer processes and practical improvements that a business can actually use.
This workflow was developed and internally tested as part of a live 30-day commercial AI experiment. No invented client results or hypothetical savings are presented here.
