The Problem

Your team is capable. They just need direction.

You've hired marketers. They're smart, capable people. But they lack the strategic experience to prioritise what matters.

We see it constantly: in-house teams spinning on tactics without a cohesive strategy. Jumping from trend to trend. Running campaigns without clear objectives.

The result? Wasted time, budget burned on the wrong channels, and frustrated founders wondering why marketing isn't driving growth.

FAQ

Common questions about consulting

What's the difference between consulting and your done-for-you services?
With consulting, we advise and your team executes. With done-for-you, we execute for you. Consulting is ideal if you have capable marketers who need strategic direction. Done-for-you is better if you lack internal resources or need rapid implementation.
How much time do consulting engagements require?
We typically start with 2-4 hours per week depending on your needs and team maturity. This includes strategic sessions, campaign reviews, and ad-hoc support. We scale up or down based on what's working.
Do you work with our existing agencies?
Yes, often we act as oversight for your agency relationships — ensuring you're getting value, challenging poor performance, and translating agency-speak into business outcomes. We're on your side.
What if my team isn't very experienced?
We tailor our approach to your team's level. For junior teams, we provide more training and detailed guidance. For experienced teams, we focus on high-level strategy and advanced optimisations.
How do you charge for consulting?
Monthly retainers based on hours and scope, starting from $3,500/month. No hidden fees, no lock-in contracts. You can pause or cancel with 30 days notice.
Can we switch from consulting to done-for-you?
Absolutely. Many clients start with consulting to get strategy right, then engage us for execution on specific channels. We're flexible — the engagement should fit your needs.
What industries do you consult for?
We specialise in B2B services, SaaS, professional services, healthcare, and property. Our experience spans high-ticket services where trust and education are key to the sale.
How quickly will we see results?
Strategy improvements typically impact performance within 30-60 days. Team capability building takes longer (3-6 months) but delivers compounding returns as your internal expertise grows.
