James Augusti - Background

James Augusti

With over a decade of experience in Business Management James has a vast knowledge of business operations throughout a range of sectors.  His business experience started in 2005 after leaving Bournemouth University to start his own Online Store selling sportswear throughout the UK (JA Sports & Sports Centre Direct). James took the business from a standing start to one of the regions busiest sportswear suppliers earning contracts with National Organisations such as Pitch Invasion along with numerous local councils. The success of the business was built around an ability to create a cutting edge marketing campaign and e-commerce store.  After three successful years the business ceased trading towards the end of 2008 being hit hard by the financial crisis along with 800,000 other UK businesses.

 

With the above experience it was almost a natural progression for James to move into Business Marketing utilising his experience in Digital Advertising.  In February 2009 Click Marketing was launched, a marketing business which offered businesses a range of Online Marketing packages to help them grow online.  At its peak, Click Marketing employed in excess of 25 members of staff.  The company grew at a rapid rate, at during the summer of 2011 they were taking more Web Design Orders than any other business on the South Coast.  The success of the business came at a price with the business failing to maintain the high quality customer service offered in its early years.  James resigned as a Director in early 2012, leaving the business to be operated by the company’s management team.

 

After seven years of ‘pushing accelerated growth’ and rapid expansion between 2005 and 2012 James now works on a more ‘steady growth’ philosophy and works as a consultant with only a handful of businesses for whom he operates as a Business Consultant.  His diverse knowledge of Business Management, Marketing and Sales has helped achieve lucrative agreements with established companies.
