Service

Strategy that starts with the business, not the tactics

I read the brand, the buyer and the funnel honestly — including the unflattering parts — and tell you where your budget earns the most first.

The problem

Most plans start with channels and tactics. Get the read on the business wrong and every ad after it is wasted — often the real moat is trust or community, not the spec sheet.

Included

What you get

  • Brand and audience read — who the real buyer is
  • Funnel and leak analysis on what you already have
  • Channel and budget priorities, in order
  • Positioning and message that fits the market
  • Measurement plan tied to what actually converts
  • An honest read on where I can and can't help

Process

How it runs

  1. 01

    Understand

    I start with what the brand actually is, who it's for, and where the funnel leaks — reading the data you already have.

  2. 02

    Read honestly

    You get a straight assessment, including the parts that aren't flattering, and where your money should go first.

  3. 03

    Plan

    A clear plan you can see: what we do, in what order, and what we spend where. No jargon.

  4. 04

    Measure

    Decisions run on what's observable — retention curves, which segment converted — not on what looks good in a slide.

Strategy is the part everyone skips to get to the fun stuff. I don't. I'd rather spend the first week understanding the business than the next three months making creative that points the wrong way. The plan and the making come from the same place, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Is our current analytics setup probably wrong?

In most audits we run, at least one primary conversion is either double-counted or missing entirely. It is worth checking before you optimise against it.

Tell me what's not working

One message, no deck. I'll tell you whether I can help and what I'd do first — and if I'm not the right person for it, I'll say that too.
