My story

I'm Kamil Derwinski, a marketing strategist in Gloucester.

I'm based in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, and work directly with business owners across the county and the wider region — Oxfordshire, Worcestershire, the West Midlands and South West England.

My career began in engineering and manufacturing, where solving complex problems, improving systems and finding the cause of failure were part of everyday work.

I apply the same thinking to marketing. Diagnose the problem. Understand the system. Identify the constraint. Build the solution. Measure the outcome. Optimise.

Rather than chasing trends, I focus on building practical marketing systems that generate measurable results for owner-led businesses.

Why marketing

Marketing is where analytical and systems thinking meet business growth. Most marketing problems are really diagnosis problems.

What I believe

Good businesses deserve marketing that produces commercial value — not activity, impressions or attractive content on its own.

How I work

Directly with owners. No account manager, no layers of communication, no unnecessary agency complexity.

Mission

My Mission

I help owners of small, traditional businesses increase their revenue and build stronger, more profitable businesses — so they can create the life they want for themselves and their families.

I believe that a successful business should provide more than income.

It should give the owner the freedom to make their own decisions, security for their family, and pride in the work they have built.

I want to work with business owners who value family, health, tradition, wisdom and responsibility.

People who want to build something lasting — not simply chase the next sale.

Family · Health · Tradition · Wisdom · Responsibility

My goal is to help them build businesses strong enough to support:

  • a healthy and secure family life
  • financial independence and freedom of choice
  • meaningful work and pride in what is built
  • healthy, capable and independent children
  • long-term security for the people who depend on the business
  • a legacy that can be passed on

Business growth is the vehicle.
Family, freedom, responsibility and legacy are the reason.

Values
