Tim has been a TBMC Partner from its inception, collaborating with Caroline on many client programmes. In 2023, Tim and Caroline launched a new two-part Masterclass. This kickstarts your creative business’s journey to higher monetisation by introducing you to a new, value-led approach to solving your clients’ problems. The Masterclass teaches the principles of how to create a new revenue model; from selling services and effort, to creating value through packaged solutions and products.
