Kevin Mansell-Abel

Kevin didn’t wait for the perfect plan or feel “ready” before he started. While still studying design communications, he landed his first major client before he’d even graduated - not because he had all the answers, but because he was curious, brave enough to have a go, and willing to learn along the way.

That moment shaped everything that followed. Kevin learned early on that you don’t need permission to start, and you don’t need to have it all figured out. What really matters is taking that first step, saying yes to opportunities, building momentum, and surrounding yourself with the right support.

Nearly 20 years later, Kevin’s business, That Media Group, works with founders, freelancers and small teams to turn ideas into real, sustainable businesses that actually work for them. He helps people take what they already have and shape it into something stronger - their business, but better.

Kevin is especially passionate about supporting young people and early‑stage founders who might not yet see themselves as entrepreneurs. He’s open and honest about the reality of running a business - the uncertainty, the false starts, the pressure - and shows that these challenges aren’t signs of failure, they’re part of the journey.

At the heart of Kevin’s work is a simple but powerful belief: success doesn’t look the same for everyone. Define what success means to you, and build a business that fits your life - not the other way around.
