Strategic Project Work

Marketing Strategy

Most businesses do not have a marketing strategy. They have a collection of things they have tried, channels they have committed to for unclear reasons, and a reactive pattern of activity that responds to whoever shouts loudest that week. This engagement changes that. You will get a full commercial strategy built around your actual objectives, your real market, and your genuine constraints.

The problem this solves

Reactive marketing is expensive and demoralising.​

When there is no agreed direction, every marketing decision becomes a debate. Agencies produce work without a coherent brief. Teams produce activity without a coherent logic. Money gets spent on things that feel right rather than things that are right.

A strategy does not end all disagreements. But it gives the business a basis for making decisions that is grounded in evidence rather than instinct, and it gives everyone: your team, your agencies, and your leadership, a shared direction to execute from.

What the work involves

Built around your commercial reality, not a framework.

The work begins with a structured discovery process with your key stakeholders. We do not start from a template. We start from your objectives, your market, and your genuine constraints.

01

Conduct a structured discovery process with key stakeholders to understand commercial objectives, constraints, and current state

02

Define and validate your target audience segments and the buyers within them

03

Develop clear positioning: what you are, who you are for, and why that matters more than what competitors offer

04

Build a channel strategy based on where your buyers actually are and how they actually make decisions

05

Develop a messaging framework covering value proposition, audience-specific messaging, and proof points

06

Create a campaign planning framework with a 12-month calendar structure aligned to commercial priorities

07

Define meaningful KPIs and the measurement approach that will tell you whether the strategy is working

08

Produce an implementation roadmap that sequences activity by priority, resource, and commercial impact

Who is this for

Businesses this engagement is designed for.

01

B2B businesses without a documented marketing strategy – or with one that no longer reflects the business

02

Companies entering a new market, launching a significant new product, or repositioning

03

Businesses whose marketing has been driven by the CEO or sales team without dedicated strategic thinking

04

Companies who have just hired a marketing person and want to give them a proper foundation to execute from

05

Growth-stage SMEs preparing for investment or a step-change in commercial ambition

Investment and timeline

Defined scope, defined fee.​

Investment

Price varies with business complexity, number of markets, and depth of discovery required. All strategy projects include a pre-engagement discovery call to confirm scope and fit before a proposal is issued.

Timeline

4-6 weeks. Timeline varies with scope – confirmed at proposal stage. 

How it starts

A pre-engagement conversation to establish whether a direct strategy engagement is the right starting point, or whether a Marketing Audit would add more value first.
