Strategic Advisor Programme

In my Strategic Advisor Programme, we’ll work together to pinpoint what’s really holding back your growth using my ‘3 Pillar Growth Engine’ framework. From there, we’ll create a clear strategy and actionable roadmap to build marketing processes that actually scale and drive sustainable growth. You’ll get more from your marketing spend while gaining the clarity and structure you need to move forward with confidence. If you’re a seed, Series A, or bootstrapped startup leader facing growth hurdles and could use an outside perspective or expert feedback, this programme is for you.

What You Get

  • CMO-level expertise to help you save time and money by avoiding marketing mistakes and making smarter decisions.

  • Weekly strategy calls to tackle your current challenges, brainstorm creative solutions, and set priorities for the week ahead.

  • KPI & performance reviews to give you clarity on performance and actionable insights.

  • Access to my personal network of vetted marketing specialists (I don’t take commission).

  • Actionable Assignments for you to complete with my support, while I provide feedback and ensure you stay on track.

  • Ongoing support via Slack, email, or phone for quick feedback and guidance throughout the week. Complex queries requiring deeper analysis will be addressed during scheduled sessions.

How It Works

All programmes are tailored, but a typical 3-month journey looks like this.

Month 1 – Planning

  • Initial kick-off call (Week 1)

    A deep dive into your business challenges, goals, marketing resources, team, and expectations. We’ll align on objectives, deliverables, and key success metrics.

  • Performance audit (Week 1)

    A comprehensive review of your current marketing activities and technology stack to assess your starting point.

  • Strategy workshops (Week 2)

    In-depth sessions to:

    • Define your target customer and map their purchase journey.

    • Analyse competition, positioning, and pricing to identify market opportunities.

    • Establish a clear value proposition and brand voice.

  • Marketing plan & roadmap (Weeks 3–4)

    A structured three-month plan outlining key deliverables, timelines, and success metrics.

Months 2–3 – Execution, Iteration & Optimisation

Weekly Strategy Sessions

Each week, we’ll tackle your biggest challenges, review experiments, and refine your action plan.

  • Outline a step-by-step implementation plan and guide execution.

  • Provide feedback on completed tasks to ensure success.

  • Support supplier decisions by assessing proposals and joining key calls.

What’s Not Included

This programme is for businesses that want to empower their in-house marketing but need a senior strategic guide. If you lack the resources to handle day-to-day tasks, my Fractional CMO + Execution Support services are more suitable.

  • Daily project management

    You (or someone on your team) remain responsible for day-to-day task tracking, timelines, and follow-ups. My focus is on guiding and advising—keeping you strategically aligned and accountable to your goals.

  • Hands-on execution

    Unlike the Fractional CMO packages, the Strategic Advisor Programme doesn’t include configuring software, building landing pages, or writing marketing assets. I’ll provide strategic outlines and feedback on deliverables, but the actual implementation is up to you and your team.

Who It’s For

The ideal traits of a good-fit company:

  • You see growth as a company-wide effort, not just marketing.

  • You understand results take time and good marketing requires robust systems.

  • You have in-house talent or existing contractors to manage daily tasks and project coordination.

  • You're prepared to devote time and energy to implementing the strategy, guided by me—an expert who has done this before.

  • You operate in B2C SaaS, marketplaces or consumer apps, where growth needs product and marketing collaboration.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What qualifies as execution work?

    Execution typically includes tasks like designing and writing publish-ready marketing materials, configuring software, or managing ad campaigns. Those responsibilities remain with you or your team.

  • Can you help me hire the right specialists?

    Absolutely. If you need additional talent for copywriting, ads management, SEO, content and more. I’ll connect you with my vetted network or assist you in sourcing new suppliers.

  • What results can I expect?

    While I can’t guarantee specific outcomes, most clients see increased customer numbers, higher conversions, reduced CAC (customer acquisition cost), better audience engagement, and stronger overall marketing ROI when they follow strategic advice and test-learn-adjust consistently.
