The people behind the performance

Strategy is only as good as the people executing it

We're a team of specialists, not generalists. Every person here owns their discipline, challenges the default, and is accountable for your growth – not just their output.

Senior leadership

  • Ashley Butcher

    Managing Director

    Ashley has forged his career in performance and organic growth within one of the UK's most competitive digital markets. Formerly part of a FTSE 250 business, he spent seven years within the MONY Group as Head of Organic across MoneySuperMarket, MoneySavingExpert and Quidco, three of the UK’s most recognisable consumer brands. His expertise spans strategy, SEO, Digital PR, GEO, CRO, content and brand, combining senior-level commercial thinking with a highly competitive, results-focused approach. Now Managing Director of Own Your Space, he is driven by a clear vision: to move the conversation away from vanity metrics and towards helping businesses turn marketing investment into real commercial impact.

  • Michael Stubbs

    Michael Stubbs

    Head of Client Success

    Michael is Head of Client Success, a founding member, and often the first person a client speaks to. He’s built his career with a focus on not just winning business but keeping it: taking the time to properly understand a client’s goals, objectives, and commercial pressures and making sure this understanding carries through to how the team operates day-to-day. He works closely alongside each department, translating ambitions into clear briefs and holding the agency accountable for delivering against them. It’s an approach clients directly feel the benefit of: their goals become ours, and we hold ourselves to them.

As Performance Business Director at Wavemaker, he led performance strategies for high-profile accounts, pairing technical search expertise with commercial insight to deliver measurable growth. His approach is defined by rigour learned at scale: bringing the discipline and sophistication of large network agencies to bear on search, while staying grounded in the numbers that actually move a client's business. Now Head of Organic at Own Your Space, he’s driven by the same conviction that’s shaped his career – that search should be judged on commercial impact, not vanity metrics.
