A senior marketing lead, without the full-time hire.

Every week, I help you decide where your marketing time and money go. Your team or agency does the work. I make sure it’s the right work.

Talk to me about advising

Advising starts after the Marketing Assessment, so my advice is based on your marketing needs and connected to your real numbers.

What a month looks like

Every week

A working session

We look at the numbers, make the calls that need making, and set this week's priorities.

Between sessions

I review the work before it goes out

Send me briefs, plans, campaigns and agency proposals. I reply in writing, so nothing waits for the next call.

Every month

A short written recap

What moved, what didn't, and what we change next month.

Every quarter

We check the plan

Is it still the right plan? If the business changed, the plan changes with it.

What I do

  • Set the direction and the priorities
  • Review work before it ships
  • Hold your team and agency to the plan
  • Help you hire the right people

What I don't do

  • Run your ads
  • Write your content
  • Manage your accounts
  • Replace your team

Talk to me about Advising Plus

How it starts: Advising begins after the Marketing Assessment, so my advice is based on your real numbers. We start with 90 days, then go month to month. I take on 4 advising clients at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need the Marketing Assessment first?

Yes. Advising starts after the Marketing Assessment, so my advice is based on your real numbers, not guesses.

How long do I commit for?

The first 90 days. At day 90 we look at what moved and decide together if it continues. After that it's month to month.

Can I switch between Advising and Advising Plus?

Yes. Tell me before your next month starts and we change it from then.

Who does the work?

Your team, freelancers or agency. I set direction and review the work. I don't run your ads, write your content or manage your accounts.

Can you work with my agency?

Yes. I help you judge their recommendations, sharpen their briefs and check the work lines up with your goals. On Advising Plus, I join their calls when it matters.

What happens in a working session?

Whatever needs a decision that week: performance, an upcoming launch, creative review or a change in priorities.

Do I work directly with you?

Yes. No account managers and no junior staff. You work with me.

I only need help with one decision. Is this right for me?

Probably not yet. A Decision Session works through one decision on a 90-minute call, for $1,500.

Stop going back and forth.

Book the session, send me what you have, and leave with a decision.
