Paul Wilson

Award-winning founder. I started Consultico at university, and I speak about what that actually looks like.

Founded in Glasgow in 2024 while I was still at Strathclyde. Reed All About Business Entrepreneurs Fund winner (£20,000, no equity). Strathclyde Accelerator. The company work is strategy-led marketing. The speaking is the founder story: building young, hiring young people into real client work, and what the room can take from that.

What I do

I speak at universities, accelerators and founder rooms about starting a company young. Consultico is the company behind that: a marketing consultancy in Glasgow.

For businesses, most of the work starts with Think First. Think First: work out what's worth doing, write five recommendations, then spend.

Marketing with a plan, not a to-do list.

I also bring students onto real client work so they get a proper start, not a made-up project.

Speak

Talks, panels and workshops on building a business from university, and on thinking before you spend.

Subscribe

I write when I have something worth saying, mostly about what building Consultico is really like.

Work together

If your business is already selling and you want a clear plan before you spend more on marketing, that is Consultico.

Listen

I sat down with Strathclyde Inspire to talk about how Consultico went from a side hustle at university to a funded company, and what the fellowship made possible along the way.

Notes from the founder

Occasional, personal writing about building a business. It's separate from the Consultico mailing list, so you won't get sales emails.
