Jonathan Kirk is the founder of 2Fruition Ltd. (www.2fruition.co.uk), the marketing and business development consultancy for agencies.

Previously he was Business Development Director at Fitch, the global design group, and New Business Director at EHS Brann, one of Europe's largest direct response advertising agencies.

2Fruition helps agencies, large and small, answer some of the fundamental questions: How can we develop a real point of difference versus competitors? How can we increase revenue from existing clients? Who are we targeting and why? How do we package our experience and insight better for new business purposes? How can we improve our pitch success rate? How can we equip our staff with better skills? How can we raise agency value and plan for the future?

Underpinning all this is an approach that challenges ingrained assumptions and offers more effective, insight led thinking. Clients range from some of the most famous names in design and advertising to small/medium sized agencies and start ups.

He is experienced in all aspects of agency management and is a frequent speaker and trade press contributor.
