threebe

threebe consultants all share the same values; they are all genuinely committed to progressing the sustainability agenda. They are motivated by working together with like-minded people and getting the best outcome for clients. They are also very good at what they do and are specialists in at least one, but usually more areas of the sustainable business spectrum. At threebe you will only come across consultants who have lots of first-hand experience of working in the real world.

Karl Heasman After following a classic Marketing training Karl worked in a number of high profile marketing and promotions agencies, including Ogilvy, one of the world’s largest ad agencies. He gained exposure to all areas of the marketing mix, co-ordinating campaigns for blue chip clients ranging from telecoms to charities. More... After setting up a business in Singapore on behalf of a UK operation Karl established his own agency, quickly winning business from clients such as Granada, NTL, Thomson Directories, Holsten Pils and Nivea. The agency grew every year for 12 years and was acknowledged as one of the fastest growing in the industry on 3 separate occasions before he sold in 2008. Over the last few years of running the agency Karl developed marketing campaigns on behalf of Paper Round, (London’s largest recycling company to businesses and formerly part of Friends of The Earth) and SCA Hygiene, (voted the World’s second greenest company in 2007). By ‘selling’ the benefits of these sustainable businesses Karl became a convert himself. Since selling the agency Karl has been appointed as Non-Exec Director of Paper Round and is also mentoring other agency owners to grow their businesses and assisting struggling businesses to turnaround.
