Background

About Chris Westlake

I’m a senior marketing comms consultant with a strong business growth track record and a diverse portfolio of highly awarded creative work, particularly in the tech and automotive sectors. I’ve built & managed high-performing and diverse integrated agency teams with brands such as Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, smart, and Samsung over the last 30 years. I spent 10 years as the 'single point of contact' directing an integrated account team servicing Mercedes and smart across Omnicom and external agency partners, whilst also part of the senior management teams at Claydon Heeley, Agency Republic and Weapon 7. I have also worked extensively in digital transformation, pure brand strategy and brand language consultancy. I decided to set-up my own consultancy business in response to the lack of speed, agility and cost-effectiveness in the traditional agency model (having experienced it first hand!). Vitamin C Consulting exists to provide the essential boost to SME's, brands and agencies looking for highly experienced 'plug and play' teams to help with brand strategy and brand activation (wearevitaminc.com). Fast-acting. Flexible. Cost-effective. I am also an investor and consultant in a software company developing and scaling a SaaS integrated mobility solution for drivers and mobility service providers (paythru.com).
