Teenage British entrepreneur launches US consultancy
Young entrepreneur Elliot Padfield has launched a new consulting firm to help clients make more from their marketing budgets. Precision Solutions will look to assist firms of all sizes to access tailored marketing solutions.
Born in Maidstone, Kent, Elliot Padfield enjoyed what he describes as a ‘normal’ upbringing, however he launched his first business - focused on cyber security - at 15, becoming a millionaire before even sitting his GCSEs at Maidstone Grammar School. A year later, Padfield left the UK for South Florida, following the launch of a new private equity firm, a switch which soon put him on the path to becoming one of the world’s most successful teen entrepreneurs.
Now, as the high profile 17-year-old looks to kick on from his earlier success, he has launched a new business venture in the US which aims to transform the current marketing landscape. In the years since he first came to prominence, Padfield has worked alongside top professional services firms such as EY, and is now looking to use that experience to develop his own marketing consultancy firm.
Speaking on the launch of Precision Solutions, Padfield, who is the boutique’s President, said, “High impact, high end marketing has largely only been accessible to massive corporations and sprawling enterprises, but sticking to what ‘should’ be done is never how I’ve done things… The launch of Precision Solutions provides ways for even the smallest businesses and brands to be able to build a digital presence in an ever digitising world.”
According to a press statement, Precision Solutions will offer bespoke marketing solutions for firms of all sizes, from personal brands to enterprise clients, across the world’s largest consulting market of the US. The consultancy focuses on both paid and organic marketing, public relations and brand management, along with direct mail and print. This holistic service makes Precision Solutions unique, as it has become one of the only marketing companies in the US to boast a dedicated in-house print and mail facility.
Precision Solutions becomes the latest business to be added to Padfield’s portfolio of professional groups. It follows the first, Invictus Group – which works with international investment and pre-launch M&A funding firms – and second, Padfield International, which boasts a number of digital entertainment, health, and consultancy brands. Invictus Group acquired South Florida mailing company Precision Mailing in March 2020, paving the way for the launch of Precision Solutions’ direct print offering.
