Marketing & strategy consultancy
When you have a specific strategic question rather than an ongoing leadership gap, consultancy is the focused way to get a clear answer. It gives you senior brand, marketing, commercial and fundraising thinking on a day rate or project basis, scoped to the decision in front of you.
Whether you need to understand a shifting audience, rethink your positioning, plan the launch of a new product or service, or review your budget, structure or agency portfolio, the work ends with clear, actionable recommendations, not a report that sits in a drawer.
It draws on the same board-level experience as the fractional service, applied to a defined brief with a defined output.

Frequently asked questions
What is a marketing strategy consultant?+
A marketing strategy consultant gives an organisation senior, independent thinking on brand, positioning, audience and growth, scoped to a specific question. The output is a clear strategy and a set of recommendations the team can act on, delivered on a day rate or project basis.
How is consultancy different from the fractional CMO service?+
Consultancy is project-based and focused on a defined question, with a defined output. The fractional CMO service is ongoing board-level leadership that owns marketing over time. Many organisations start with a consultancy project and move to a fractional engagement if they need ongoing direction.
Do you work with not for profits?+
Yes. Consultancy projects span both commercial and charitable organisations, including fundraising and development strategy, audience growth and impact-led positioning.
How are projects priced?+
Projects are priced on a day rate or as a fixed-scope piece of work, agreed up front against a clear brief and output, so you know what you are getting before it starts.
