The Practice

Leadership built on experience in the seat.

hitsuzendō (筆禅道) translates literally to 'The Way of the Zen Brush' — a discipline rooted in focus, mastery, and single-minded execution. These are the exact principles we bring to commercial revenue systems.

Founded and led by Andrew Duggan, hitsuzendō combines board-level thinking with hands-on delivery. Each engagement is shaped around the commercial challenge, with additional specialist capability introduced when the brief requires it.

Principles

Three principles that shape every engagement.

01

Mastery beats chance

Growth is not a creative gamble. It follows from disciplined positioning, a clear commercial system, and decisions made by someone who has sat in the seat before.

02

Strategy is only real when it ships

A strategy on a page changes nothing. We work inside the business to make decisions, align teams, and deliver the work — accountable to commercial outcomes, not deliverables.

03

Brand and revenue are one system

Positioning, demand, sales and customer value compound when they are led together. The strongest growth comes from connecting the work, not optimising each part in isolation.

Experience

Two decades in the seat, across categories.

Board-level leadership

Chief Marketing & Revenue Officer

Held CMO and CRO remits across regulated financial services, global sport, DTC fashion and scale-up technology — leading brand, demand, sales and commercial performance as one agenda.

Global brand & commercial builds

Cross-market expansion

Led brand and commercial strategy across 40+ countries, structuring sponsorship, licensing and content deals that took regional properties to a global audience.

Hands-on delivery

Operator-led engagements

Built and rebuilt paid, organic, CRM and sales engines from the inside — not as a consultant recommending change, but as the leader accountable for the number.
