The person pitching does the thinking.
I review the listing and write the recommendations. You can challenge the reasoning with the person responsible for it.

The comparison
Simon Thillay or Gabriel Machuret?
Who cares about the name if your listing still says nothing?
You’re here now. Let me earn the next five minutes. I work directly on your listing: finding the weak argument, explaining the problem and writing a next move your team can use. No account-manager séance required.
Corporate fog has had a lovely run.
Clear metadata. Screenshot messages with a purpose. A visible benefit instead of another expensive way to say “innovative”.
The PDF is not the finish line.
We agree the outputs, priorities and responsibilities. Your team leaves knowing what to change and what to check afterwards.
How I think · Experiment interpretation
A test result is not a personality test for your designer.
This is an illustrative listing problem—the kind of work I want you to judge me on.
The weak starting point
The new creative lost. The idea was stupid.
A more useful direction
Check what the experiment actually tested and how certain the result is.
Why I would challenge it
A weak implementation, audience mismatch or noisy result can obscure a useful idea. Equally, a favourite concept does not deserve endless excuses. The decision should follow the evidence available.
What I would do next
Review the hypothesis, variant differences and test conditions before writing the conclusion.
How I would judge the change
Record the outcome, uncertainty and next decision in an experiment log.
The CV can wait
Judge the work in public.
Before hiring Simon Thillay, me or anyone else for an ASO project, look at how we think. My public app audits show the criticism, the reasoning and the proposed changes.
Want to learn the method? The free ASO course gives you lessons and practical exercises. You shouldn’t need a discovery call to discover whether I can explain the job.
Your app is the point
Bring a listing. Leave with a direction.
Send the store link, your main market and the problem you want to solve. I’ll look for the gap between what your app does and what your listing communicates.
If the issue belongs to the product, I’ll say so. Not every problem needs another keyword spreadsheet wearing a consultant’s tie.

Tell me what needs fixing. You see how I think; we agree what useful work looks like. A better introduction than a forty-slide funeral for your marketing budget.
