Sandy Groves (Methven) Email and Phone Number
Co-Founder at Think Again - an international, strategic growth consultancy. Our approach to brand positioning and growth strategy is rooted in Neuro-Emotive Analytics™, a unique methodology that enables us to understand the subconscious, largely intuitive, emotional motivations driving decision-making and brand choice. We work with clients to build and bring to market brand propositions and strategies for growth that connect emotionally, ‘win’ rationally and drive game-changing growth.I am a marketing and business strategist with a track record of delivering consistently great results and driving growth. I have always been passionate about customer insights, marketing and communications and their powerful potential to help organisations evolve and grow - both inside and out.I have international experience at senior levels in marketing and business management in various sectors including retail, consumer goods, financial services and tech. My colleagues and clients would describe me as highly driven, with an open and collaborative style.A few highlights from my career that I have found particularly challenging/rewarding include leading the marketing strategy for Boots UK’s healthcare division (c £3bn revenue at the time). Our efforts at encouraging the British public to be more pro-active about their health attracted the attention of government and the Prime Minister; securing parliamentary support for a business in one of the UK's most reputationally-challenged sectors; working with two of my favourite skincare/wellbeing brands Chanel and NEOM Organics; developing a growth strategy for a small professional services client, which contributed to their business turnaround and 9/9 successful new-client pitches in the first year.

Founding PartnerThink Again Growth Jan 2017 - PresentLondon, United KingdomThink Again is an international strategic growth consultancy. We have developed a different approach to brand positioning and growth strategy based on Neuro-Emotive Analytics™, a proprietary methodology that enables us to understand the subconscious, intuitive motivations that driving decision-making and brand choice both at an emotional and functional level. We work across all markets, specialising in the consumer products (Danone, Chanel, PZ Cussons, NEOM Organics), retail and leisure (Mothercare, Dairy Farm Group, Nando’s), financial services (Standard Chartered, TSB, YBS) and PE-backed business-to-business sectors. Having seen the results our programmes can deliver, I am evangelical about how Neuro-Emotive Analytics™ can unlock growth opportunities and inform strategy development. I have always believed that to deliver a proposition that really works you need to get under the skin of the end-user. Our work does just that, swiftly and with a phenomenal level of granularity. (I wish I’d had access to these tools and programmes earlier in my career!) -
Marketing And Communications StrategistStrategic Consulting Mar 2016 - Sep 2017Nottingham, United KingdomBoard advisory roles, strategic consulting and business start-up support. Two pieces of work I have particularly relished were the research and development of a business plan and strategy for a collaborative consumption website using MVP (Minimal Viable Product) principles and helping steer an ad-tech start up towards a clear business vision and exit strategy. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges, variety and flexibility which consulting provides.

Head Of Strategic CommunicationsNahl Group Plc Oct 2011 - Feb 2016KetteringI worked initially as a consultant, managing National Accident Helpline’s biggest-ever consumer brand relaunch and developing and facilitating Group leadership strategy events. Then I joined the business to support a highly growth-oriented phase, developing the corporate communications strategy and re-brand, as well as researching and piloting consumer services for new markets. A key accomplishment was the successful development and delivery of strategic communications and PR campaigns prior to, and following, NAHL’s listing on the LSE (AIM). This positively positioned the business as the ethical market leader culminating in brand-enhancing media and social coverage, cross-party political support and a parliamentary round-table event. (All firsts for the business). -

Along with my team, successfully elevated Boots’ credentials as the first choice for healthcare by delivering numerous best-ever, multi-media marketing campaigns (including "Change One Thing" and the launch of the Boots Health Club, which was the UK's biggest health loyalty club with over 3.7m members). Our consumer-facing health campaigns attracted the attention of Prime Minister Tony Blair, to whom I presented, and our team were invited to consult with Whitehall on engaging the British public more positively with their health. -
