WE BUILD ENGINES FOR
GROWTH.
CannyWorks is a next-generation digital consultancy. We fuse traditional creative strategy with bleeding-edge AI to help businesses punch above their weight.
The Vision
The digital landscape is noisy. To cut through, you don't just need a website—you need a system.
Our vision is simple: Democratize Enterprise-Grade Growth. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence, we automate the heavy lifting of SEO analysis, market research, and technical optimization.
This allows us to focus purely on what AI can't do: Human Connection and Creative Strategy.
AI-Driven Efficiency
Faster deployment, smarter data.
Scalable Growth
Systems that grow as you grow.
The Founders
Two sides of the same coin. Where creative chaos meets technical precision.
Drew Hollinshead
CMO & Co-Founder
Drew is the voice. With a background in high-stakes brand strategy, he understands that a pretty website is useless if it doesn't tell a story. He ensures every pixel serves a psychological purpose, driving users from "just browsing" to "shut up and take my money."
Superpower
Turning complex tech into human stories.
John Walker
CTO & Co-Founder
John is the engine. A lifelong builder who started his first venture at 12, he brings the architectural rigor. He leverages AI not as a gimmick, but as a scalpel—optimizing SEO workflows, automating CRM data, and ensuring our clients' tech stacks are bulletproof.
Superpower
Seeing the future of tech before it arrives.
Made in
Newcastle.
We are a Newcastle team with a global mindset.
The North East is in the midst of a digital renaissance. We are here to ensure local businesses—from Ouseburn coffee roasters to Cobalt Business Park tech giants—aren't just keeping up, but leading the charge. We bring London-agency capabilities without the M25 attitude.
