Strategy Services
Sometimes you don't need execution, you need answers. Fixed-scope, senior-led sprints that end with a decision you can act on, whether or not you ever hire us again.
The problem
Big-firm consulting bills by the month and ends in a deck. In-house debates end in a stalemate. What you need is a senior outside brain, a deadline, and a recommendation someone will stand behind.
Positioning sprint
Alternatives, differentiators, segment and category, decided in three weeks, with the language your buyers already use.
Channel and funnel audits
We review channel spend, conversion paths and sales handoffs to find where effort is being lost. The output prioritizes the decisions you can make now, supported by your own account and customer data.
Go-to-market plans
Target segments, positioning, distribution and launch priorities come together in a practical market-entry plan. We make the assumptions explicit and define the first tests so the plan can adapt once customers respond.
Marketing org design
We map the work that needs to happen against the people and partners available. Recommendations cover roles, decision rights, hiring sequence and where outside specialists are useful, with a structure your budget can support.
A working session, not a hand-off
The project ends with your team working through the recommendation, the tradeoffs and the next steps. You leave with owners and a sequence for action, plus the supporting material needed to explain the decision internally.
Scope in one call
Fixed scope, fixed fee, and a clear question the engagement has to answer.
Senior-led sprint
Two to four weeks of research, analysis and stress-testing, led by the people you met.
Decide in the room
Every engagement ends with a working session and a recommendation, not a PDF.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is marketing consulting?
Marketing consulting is a focused engagement to answer a business question or resolve a growth problem. The consultant gathers evidence, evaluates options and recommends a course of action. Your team gets direction it can use, with delivery responsibilities agreed separately.
2. What does a marketing consultant do?
They review data, speak with the people involved and test the assumptions behind the current plan. Then they recommend what to change and explain why. A useful engagement ends with a decision and a practical sequence of next steps.
3. How much do marketing consultants charge?
Fees depend on the question, the research required and the deliverables. A focused audit is a different project from entering a new market or redesigning a marketing function. We agree a fixed scope and fee before the work begins, with any change discussed explicitly.
4. How do you choose a marketing consultant?
Look for relevant operating experience and a willingness to define the decision the project must support. Ask to see the shape of a deliverable and how the recommendation was used. The consultant should be able to explain the evidence needed, not just the framework they prefer.
5. What does an engagement actually look like?
We start with a scoping call and agree the question, access and deadline. A short research and analysis sprint leads into a working session with your team. The final recommendation includes the tradeoffs, priorities and owners needed to act on it.
6. Will you try to upsell us into a retainer?
The consulting scope stands on its own. You can use the recommendation with your in-house team or another partner. If you later want delivery support, that is a separate conversation with a separate scope, rather than a condition of receiving the plan.
