Present like a human. Sell like a boss.
As an agency MD, CD or leader, do you find yourself carrying a lot of the presenting and pitching load? Would you love more of your team - copywriters, designers, account leads - to get in on the act and present with clarity, confidence and impact?
I get you. When I was Head of Copy in an ad agency, I felt exactly the same. A lot of the time, I just had too many meetings on my plate.
On the flipside, I also fully understand why a lot of people in agencies dread presenting. I used to be that anxious copywriter who hated it.
I went on to became a stand up comedian, the go-to creative for big pitches, and a keynote speaker. That journey taught me a lot about how to communicate with confidence - and I'd love to help your team do the same.
That's why I created Pitch Imperfect.
What is Pitch Imperfect?
Pitch Imperfect is a unique presentation skills training for creative agencies who want realness over corporate speak.
It's designed to help mid-level professionals - from copywriters and designers to account leads - connect authentically and win more business.
Pitch Imperfect reduces anxiety, lifts confidence, and spreads the presentation load so it's not just the same two people carrying the team.It's called 'imperfect' because you don't need to be highly polished to sell. It's more more about connecting human-to-human. Also, not having the pressure to be perfect helps you get out of your own way.
This isn't your average corporate workshop - and definitely not something an out-of-work RADA actor has thrown together. One of my first clients chose Pitch Imperfect over D&AD’s pitch training.

My story
Not bad for an anxious, overthinking introvert
Hello, I'm Andrew - creator of Pitch Imperfect. I'm also a coach, author and speaker.
For years, I found any kind of presentation a full-on ordeal. In fact, at uni and in my early days as a copywriter, I did my best to avoid them altogether.
It wasn't until I learned more about how minds work - through a combination of psychology, ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience that I started to feel more at home talking to groups.
I went on to lead creative pitches for advertising accounts worth millions. And even spent a year as a stand up comedian, reaching the national semi-final of Channel 4's 'So You Think You're Funny' competition.
Now I Iove passing on what I've learned. Don't worry, I'm not trying to make everyone in the world a stand up comedian. I simply want to help your team become confident in any kind of meeting, presentation or pitch. After all, it's not enough to create great work, you have to be able to sell it. I can show you how.
As a keynote speaker, I speak on topics like Overthinkers Anonymous - a club I created to help people break the habit of wasted thinking. I also talk about LOL Goals™ - the art of getting unstuck by setting goals so exciting / scary they make you laugh out loud.
I take on a few 1:1 coaching clients every quarter - agency leaders, founders or overthinkers ready to grow into a new version of themselves.
