Process
From Audit to Action
A clear, three-step path to help beauty teams cut through noise, align on the numbers, and turn data into growth.
Audit
The first step is a top-line audit (like Attribution Essentials) to uncover what’s driving, or holding back, your performance.
Improve
Fix measurement gaps, connect data and build better reporting where needed.
Empower
Finally, turn that clarity into action — helping your team make confident, data-led decisions that drive growth.
About
About James
How it started
I’ve spent 16 years in roles spanning Field Sales, Category and Ecommerce, with a strength in bridging the gap between data and growth.
Most recently as Head of Digital for Benefit Cosmetics AU (LVMH), I saw first-hand how even the best beauty teams were facing the same challenge - too much data, not enough clarity.
Data Made Simple was created to change that - by helping beauty teams turn their retail and marketing data into clarity and action.
What I do
Today I work with beauty brands to uncover what’s really driving growth - through marketing channel audits, streamlined reporting, and data-skills training that help teams make decisions that drive growth.
If you’re ready to understand what’s driving your growth, let's arrange a time to connect below.
Results
I've helped the top beauty brands across the UK, US, and Australia strengthen their teams' capabilities by using data to drive smarter decisions and better results.
