The Marketing Audit

The Marketing Audit is an independent, expert review of your marketing. Strategy, messaging, channel mix, content, and campaign performance, each assessed against your commercial objectives.

The problem this solves

Spend without confidence is expensive.

You are spending money on marketing and you are not confident it is working. You have an agency, or a team, or both, but when someone asks what marketing is actually delivering for the business, the honest answer is: you are not sure. You want an independent, experienced perspective that will tell you the truth.

What the work involves

A rigorous review, not a checklist.

The audit covers your current marketing strategy, or the absence of one, assessed against your commercial objectives. Not your stated objectives from a brief, but the ones that actually matter: revenue, pipeline, conversion, growth.

01

Assess your channel mix – what you are investing in, why, and whether it is the right allocation

02

Evaluate your messaging and positioning for commercial clarity and buyer relevance

03

Review campaign and content output for quality, consistency, and strategic alignment

04

Analyse available performance data: sessions, leads, conversion trends, email metrics, and paid performance

05

Identify where budget or effort is being lost to low-value activity

06

Map the gap between what the business needs from marketing and what it is currently getting

What you receive

Three clear outputs.

01

Written audit report

Structured around findings, not generic recommendations. Clear on what is working, what is not, and why.

02

Prioritised action plan

Every recommendation scored by commercial impact and ease of implementation. You know where to start.

03

90-minute walkthrough

A structured session with the relevant people in your business to present findings and answer questions.
