Award-Winning Entrepreneur, Author, Media Producer, Director & Founder.
Overview
Marco Robinson is an award-winning British entrepreneur, international #1 bestselling author, media producer, director, actor, and founder of multiple global ventures spanning enterprise sales, publishing, television, film, live education, and community-led business building.
He is the founder of the Start Over Movement, a rapidly scaling global ecosystem that began as a bestselling book series and has expanded into franchised business chapters, live international events, accredited coaching education, and story-to-screen media development.
Robinson is widely recognised for combining documented commercial results, mainstream broadcast media, and human-centred storytelling to help individuals and organisations transform adversity into measurable impact, leadership, and enterprise.
Early Career & Billion-Dollar Commercial Foundations (Tanco Resorts)
Robinson’s commercial career was forged in large-scale international sales and incentive environments, most notably at Tanco Resorts.
He played a central leadership role in the growth of Tanco Resorts, contributing directly to its transformation from an early-stage operation into a billion-dollar vacation ownership enterprise. His responsibilities spanned sales strategy, revenue architecture, deal structuring, and the execution of high-value transactions at scale.
The company’s growth during this period was independently audited and recorded by Dun & Bradstreet, providing third-party verification of enterprise scale and valuation.
Robinson’s role in this period has been profiled in independent press, including The London Economic (“Marco Robinson: The Courage to Change an Industry”), which documents his contribution to reshaping sales culture and commercial performance within the sector.
Founder of Max Generation — Enterprise Incentives & Global Brands
Robinson is the founder of Max Generation, an international incentive marketing and performance consultancy operating at enterprise level.
Through Max Generation, he designed and delivered contracted incentive and performance programmes for multinational organisations, supported by signed client contracts and documented results rather than theoretical models.
Clients and campaigns included global brands such as:
- Citibank
- IKEA
- Reader’s Digest
- Mercedes-Benz
- BMW
- Nikon
- Fuji Xerox.
The results achieved were verifiable through contractual reporting and post-campaign analysis, and were widely regarded internally as exceptional in both scale and effectiveness.

Film, Theatre & Media Production

In 2020, he served as producer and actor on Legacy of Lies, an international action feature that later ranked as a #2 film on Netflix USA during its release period.
He is currently attached as producer, actor, and director on multiple projects scheduled for 2026, including:

- DELIVERANCE (feature film)
He is also the creator of LEGACY OF SPIES, a stage musical opening in 2026.

Coaching Heroes — ICF-Accredited Education
As a direct extension of the Start Over ecosystem, Robinson founded Coaching Heroes, an ICF-accredited coaching company designed specifically to help Start Over co-authors and contributors monetise their chapters into fully fledged coaching businesses.
The programme supports authors in building ethical, compliant coaching practices that create a ripple effect of transformation, with many participants receiving direct letters and messages from readers describing how their chapters changed lives.
The Comeback Code — Proprietary IP
Robinson is the creator of The Comeback Code, a proprietary personal-transformation framework developed from decades of commercial leadership, storytelling, and trauma-to-purpose work.
