Candice Grobler is the founder of Candid Collab, a systems-savvy community consultancy helping solo founders and stretched teams build community-led marketing engines that scale revenue.

After a CPTSD diagnosis and a “you’re unemployable” jab from a well-meaning manager, Candice left the cubicle grind to forge a new model: one where neuro-spicy, outside-the-norm entrepreneurs could thrive through mentorship, scrappy systems, and candid community.

I show CMOs and Marketing Leaders how to build world-class creative firepower without the overhead.
Straight from someone who’s spent 25 years ‘on the tools’ and scaling global agencies.

Hi, I’m Dan Day 👋

A creative business leader and founder who thrives on building ideas, brands, and the people behind them.

After nearly a decade bootstrapping and scaling Invisible Artists from a single desk into a global production powerhouse (working with brands like Spotify, Facebook, and The Body Shop), I realised that the "new age" of digital asset creation requires a different approach: agility over ego.

Now, through The Guroos, I help challenger brands and marketing departments get noticed.

📣 Creative Operations for CMOs: Plugging in world-class content through web, design, film, and animation experts exactly when your internal team needs the boost.

📣 Strategy for Heads of Marketing & PR: Navigating the "new age" (AI) of digital assets—ensuring your content isn't just "made," but made to move the needle.

📣 Support for Fractional Leaders: Acting as your dedicated creative arm so you can deliver big-agency results without the big-agency headcount.

📣 The Guroos Collective: Access to my hand-picked network of high-performing thinkers, makers, and doers in brand, design, and motion.

My career started in 1999 at DDB, dubbing tapes and teaching myself to edit after hours. That "scrappy" start still defines my work ethic today: a belief that the best advertising blends raw craft with commercial impact.

If you’re a CMO or Marketing Leader ready to turn your content into a competitive advantage, let's talk.

The Guroos: Good people. Doing good work. For good brands. 🚀
