‘Roboro’ means to strengthen or reinforce and that’s exactly what I do. I bring clarity, focus and momentum to help your business grow stronger.

More Than Strategy… I Can Help You Deliver

Most consultants stop at the plan. I can go further, rolling up my sleeves to help make it happen.

I founded Roboro to combine strategic expertise with hands-on delivery to help businesses unlock lasting commercial growth. With 25+ years’ experience across B2B and B2C, I’ve worked across ecommerce, health, tech and manufacturing, leading strategy, operations and marketing. I know what it takes to build, fix and grow.

That includes growing businesses of my own, alongside senior in-house and agency roles leading brand turnarounds, digital overhauls, international expansion and operational restructures.

Here’s how one MD described working together…

“Kevin brought much-needed structure to our growth plans. He challenged our thinking and helped us align the whole team around a clear direction.”

Jess, Managing Director (B2C Retail)

Kev Smith, founder of Roboro – strategic growth consultant and fractional marketing director from the South of England, smiling and approachable in business casual attire.

What Drives Me

“I believe businesses grow best with clarity, energy and honesty at the core. I’m here to help cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and keep things moving without fluff, ego or endless theory. I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but I’ll ask the right questions, challenge gently, and help make sense of the hard stuff.”

  • “Honestly? Kev felt more like part of our team than a consultant. He just got it. The pressure we were under, the bottlenecks, the stuff we couldn’t quite articulate. Total game-changer.”

    Emma, Operations Lead (Health Tech)

  • “Kev has this brilliant way of taking something complex and making it feel straightforward. He didn’t just give us advice he helped us move forward.”

    Mark, COO (Manufacturing)

  • “Kev reviewed our ecommerce and CRM flow end-to-end. He spotted friction points we’d missed and gave us simple changes that had a big impact.”

    Sofia, Head of Digital (B2C Ecommerce)

  • “Our strategy day with Kev was a turning point. We left with a shared vision, realistic priorities, and a renewed sense of momentum.”

    James, CEO (SaaS)

  • “Kev didn’t feel like a consultant – more like an experienced team member who knew exactly where to focus. He helped shape the strategy and stayed involved to see it through. Having that senior support without the full-time cost made a real difference.”

    Darian, Co-founder (B2B Services)

“It’s not about sell you something you don’t need. The goal is simply to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.”

Clarity Starts With a Conversation

Most clients have a clear goal (more customers, better retention, smoother operations) but aren’t always sure how to get there. That’s where I come in.

Based in the South of England? I offer a free 30-minute intro call for UK founders and leadership teams looking for support across strategy, operations and marketing.

If it makes sense, we can follow up with a half-day working session – informal, collaborative, and focused on diagnosing what’s going on. You’ll then receive a written recommendation with my view on the next steps. Both are also free – my way of investing in you.

FAQs

  • It depends on the type of support you need and my current availability. If it's urgent, we’ll explore short-term steps to get things moving.

  • Both. The approach is tailored to your needs, though face-to-face sessions early on often help create clarity and build momentum.

  • Yes. Many clients retain on a fractional basis for continuity, strategic input or delivery support.

  • The intro call, half-day session and written recommendation are free. Most ongoing engagements range from £2,000 to £6,000 a month, depending on scope and involvement. No fluff. No surprises. Just proportionate value.

  • There’s no hard sell. The written recommendation is yours to keep, and the goal is to help you move forward.
