Re: Your marketing plan

Dear business owner,

Most marketing doesn’t fail because of bad execution. It fails because it was never pointed at anything. A bit of social here, an ad campaign there, a website refresh because a competitor did one. Lots of activity, no plan and no way of telling what’s working.

Strategy is the unglamorous part that makes everything else work. It means understanding your numbers, like what a customer is worth, what you can afford to pay for one and where your best customers come from, and building a plan around them.

We’ll look at your business the way an investor would: where the growth realistically is, which channels deserve your money first and which can wait, and what success should look like in three, six and twelve months. Then we’ll write it down in plain English, so you and your team can actually use it.

You can take the plan and run it yourself, hand it to your team or have us run it with you. All three are fine. The point is that you’ll know what to do next, and why.

Speak soon,

Is this right for you?

This is for you if

  • You’re spending on marketing but can’t say what’s working.
  • You’re about to invest seriously in growth and want a plan first.
  • You need senior marketing thinking but not a full-time hire.

This isn’t for you if

  • You want a sixty-page document to put in a drawer.
  • You’ve already decided what to do and want someone to agree.
  • You won’t share your numbers.

Backed by the 50% guarantee

If a campaign we run misses the targets we agreed in writing, half our fee comes back to you. Nobody can guarantee results, but you won’t carry the loss alone.

How it works

Growth Strategy questions

Do I have to hire you to run the strategy?

No. The plan is yours to keep. Some clients run it themselves, and others ask us to run it with them.

What is a fractional CMO?

A senior marketing lead who works with you part-time, setting direction, managing channels and holding everyone to account, for a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.

How long does a strategy take?

Usually three to four weeks, including interviews, analysis and a working session to walk you through the plan.

What do you need from us?

Access to your numbers, a few hours of your time and permission to speak to some of your customers. The more honest the input, the more useful the plan.

Do you work with startups?

Yes, as long as there’s a real product and a way to fund growth. Early-stage strategy often saves more money than anything else we do.
