About Ampus
Two senior people who have
done the jobs they advise on.
Ampus is Chris Bryce and Annie Tokatlian. Between us: thirty-five years of running organisations and growing them. No account managers, no bench of juniors, no hand-offs: the people you meet are the people who do the work.
Why we exist
Big-firm thinking.
Small-firm soul.
Most smaller organisations get one of two things. An expensive consultancy that sends in people less experienced than the client, at rates that assume otherwise. Or a marketing agency that is all noise and no strategy, and cannot help when the actual problem is how the organisation is run.
We are neither. We are two seasoned practitioners who treat your business the way we treated our own: joining the strategy and the doing back together, so the work actually connects to the bottom line.
You get the senior brains. You skip the agency theatre.
The partners
Run by two people who have
done the jobs they advise on.
Plenty of clients start with one of us and bring in the other as things grow, which is rather the point of having both under one roof.
Business & change management
Chris Bryce
FRSA · FCMI
A trade-body chief executive with two decades in the UK labour market. Chris grew a national membership body from 22,000 to 68,000 members, and has led organisations through major regulatory and structural change, the kind where the policy is only half the problem and keeping people with you is the other half.
He also devised, designed and built Diligence Hub, a B2B SaaS compliance platform for recruiters, umbrella companies and end clients, from a blank page. Not many consultants who advise on subscription businesses have shipped one.
He works on strategy and operational reviews, change and transformation programmes, business process transformation, interim and fractional leadership, commercial and partnership development, and putting AI to work in everyday business process.
Marketing & growth
Annie Tokatlian
MCIM · Chartered Marketer
A chartered marketer with more than fifteen years leading brand, communications and growth for high-profile membership and cultural organisations. Annie delivered £1.89M of new revenue in a single year and cut churn by 15%: the second number being the one that quietly matters more.
She ran all marketing for Oskar, the private members network for agents handling property above £2m: focus groups, analysis of what came back, and the HubSpot implementation the commercial operation runs on. She also runs marketing for Diligence Hub.
She works on brand, positioning and communications, product and service marketing, campaigns that bring in and keep customers, CRM and lifecycle work, customer research and segmentation, and digital, social and content done properly.

How we work
A simple way of working
that just… works.
Four steps, no mystery. You always know what we are doing and why.
01
Listen
We start with your organisation and your numbers, not a template. A proper conversation about what is working, what is not, and what you actually want.
02
Plan
A clear, costed roadmap in plain English. You will know exactly what we are doing, why, and what good looks like before we spend a penny.
03
Amplify
We roll our sleeves up and make it happen, as an extension of your team, not a faceless agency you chase for updates.
04
Review
Real numbers, every month. We celebrate what is working, kill what is not, and keep pointing the budget at growth.
Fancy a conversation?
No deck, no hard sell, just two partners and your business on the table.
