Your marketing needs to step up. I can make that happen.

Your business is growing, but marketing is still a job that is shared out across different people.

You have no dedicated internal marketer, and no experienced marketing strategist driving and shaping your marketing.

You know that to scale your business, this has to change. Your current marketing function can’t scale.

That’s where I can help. I’m a pragmatic B2B marketing strategist, who quickly establishes what ‘shape’ your marketing machine needs to be and who you need to build and run it.

This is bespoke, tailored work, different for each client. 

It is a true strategic marketing consultancy – I figure out what you need, advise and guide on building it, and make sure your marketing is now scalable and able to drive the growth you want.

Over the years, I’ve transformed the marketing function for many ambitious CEOs facing pivotal moments in their business.

Strategic marketing consultancy tailored to your needs

As a seasoned UK-based strategic marketing consultant, I know that every business is unique. That’s why I offer a tailored approach as your marketing has to deliver your business goals.

Whether you’re a startup looking to grow your brand or an established business aiming to enhance your market presence, my strategic marketing expertise can help you succeed in today’s competitive marketplace.

There are three levels of marketing consultancy engagement for you to choose from.

Let’s solve your most pressing marketing strategy issue in a focussed, tailored, 3 hour workshop.

Bringing your management team together for a bespoke facilitated strategic marketing workshop can make a huge difference when you feel like your business is almost there with your marketing plans, but something is missing…

In a focus, marketing strategy workshop, I can help you and your senior team answer key marketing questions such as:

  • what is our marketing strategy? Is it right?
  • how can we improve our marketing?
  • what marketing should we be focussing on?

Depending on your needs, together we can also troubleshoot specific areas of your marketing:

  • market position – what it is, what it should be, how to make that change
  • markets and segments – who you are currently targeting, who you should be targeting, getting an in-depth understanding of them
  • products and services – what are you offering, at what price and how well is this working for your organisation?
  • how robust is your marketing and sales funnel and where does it need looking at and fixing.

Bespoke workshop prices start from £995.

This option is for clients who have large marketing projects that need tackling – and want an experienced strategist to scope it out, work on it, deliver it.

Each project is different but typical engagements include:
– refining your product offering to better fit market need
– taking your marketing ‘to do’ and organising it into a structured, focused top level marketing plan
– developing useful customer Personas so that marketing is designed to attract and retain them
– recruting and inducting the right people to do your marketing
– assessing your marketing and then providing a prioritised action plan.

Projects prices start at £2,985.

This option is only for businesses who have a clear marketing strategy that an in-house marketer is implementing. You need me to act as your fractional Marketing Director, advising, guiding, and holding the business’s marketing to account.

As your Board Level Marketing Advisor, I can:
– receive and review the monthly Marketing KPI Report
– have a monthly call with you, the CEO / MD
– run two annual Marketing Strategy Planning Sessions with Senior Leadership
– prepare Board Level Marketing Reports.

Price is from £3,985 pcm on a retainer.
