About us
What makes us different?
We’re not afraid to challenge the status quo and disrupt the online space. We thrive on it. We play by our own rules and you can too.
We get
people talking
Our business has a 100% referral rate. Unlike other strategists and ‘coaches’ in the online space, we don’t rely on generic and transparent sales tactics. We don’t have to sell because we already have a waitlist of people wanting to work with us based purely on the results we’ve generated for others. We’re not ashamed to tell you that we are the best when it comes to business development and our reputation speaks for itself.
we stick
with you
We’re not just about pushing you through pipelines and shoving you from product to product. We want to work with you in the long term, in a way that’s right for your business. Our four pillars are interconnected, so if you come to us for training or resources, we’ll also do a deep dive into your business to identify the gaps and work with you to fill them with the support of our full-service agency, and vice versa.
we don’t work with
everyone
We work with an elite team of vetted industry professionals who we know can deliver beyond exceptional results for your business. We also don’t just take on anyone as a client. We turn down business that’s not right for us, for our team or our ecosystem. We’re not just focused on turning a profit - we’re here to make a genuine difference. That’s why we only work with people who align with our core values and want to make an impact.

We’ll guide you to see what’s best for your business so that you can maintain your authenticity to yourself and to your brand.
ABOUT US
Our Manifesto
We’re Alison Goodwin and Steve Fowles, founders of the Online Business Association.
Strategy is at the heart of our business and we’re not ashamed to tell you that we’re exceptional at what we do – We have the clients and have driven the results to prove that.
We manage projects up to multi-million £/$ businesses because we have the skills, the team and the knowledge to make an impactful difference in the online space.
We’ve not got to where we are through social media or basic outreach like so many others. Our business is based 100% on referrals and word of mouth.
We’re not just another cloned ‘coach’ who’s going to promise you their ‘secret formula to success’ and then give you vague advice you probably already knew. We won’t pretend to be your best friend either just to sell you overpriced cookie-cutter ‘strategies’.
Instead, we’ll give you the robust education, accredited training, tools, and genuine business connections you need to succeed.
We only work with people who are serious about business; people who are prepared to be present in their own business; and people who want to achieve real and significant results. We’re committed to nurturing those people and working with them long-term to become more than just strategy consultants. We’re here to become partners.
We’re proud to put our people first. Once you join the Online Business Association, you become part of something much, much bigger.
