Marketing consulting services
Marketing consulting services, scoped to one decision at a time.
Six service lines, each with a defined scope, a typical timeline, and a published rate behind it. Most engagements start with an audit or a positioning project, and the rest follow only if the evidence says they should.
The service lines
These are the engagements I actually sell. Each one has a deeper page describing the method, the deliverables, and the questions it answers.
Positioning and marketing strategy
One position, the reasons to choose it, and the proof under each, settled before anything gets built on top of it.
Typical timeline: Four to six weeks
See the strategy pillarMarketing audit and readiness
A scoped read of positioning, channels, customer experience, and pipeline that ends in three prioritized decisions with owners and dates.
Typical timeline: Two to three weeks
See what an audit coversGo-to-market planning
Segment, offer, pricing narrative, channel sequence, and launch plan for a new product, market, or motion.
Typical timeline: Four to eight weeks
See go-to-market workChannel and partner marketing
Tier structure, partner enablement, co-marketing, and the conflict rules that keep distributors and direct sales out of each other's way.
Typical timeline: Six to ten weeks
See channel strategyVoice of customer research
Customer and lost-deal interviews turned into a journey map, a message set in your buyers' own words, and findings with named owners.
Typical timeline: Four to six weeks
See the interview programFractional marketing leadership
Ownership of the strategy, plan, budget, and vendors a few days a month, with a weekly working session and monthly reporting.

Rates are published
Consulting is $125 per hour. You can read every rate before you talk to me, and no scope arrives with a number you have not seen the basis for.
Projects are fixed fee
The hourly rate sets the scope, then the project is quoted as a fixed fee so the total is known before work starts.
One senior person does the work
No account layer between the diagnosis and the person writing it. The person on the first call is the person on the last one.
Every engagement ends in decisions
Recommendations carry an owner, a date, and the number they are meant to move, which is also how the work gets judged afterward.

Where to start
If you are not sure which line fits, start with the marketing audit. It gives both of us the same read before either of us commits to a larger scope, and it stands on its own if nothing follows.
Comparing me against an agency or an in-house hire? The marketing consultant overview covers what the role does, and the cost calculator puts the three models side by side on money.
Want a number before a conversation? The project scope estimator returns a range from a few answers, and the work shows what these services produced elsewhere.
Next step
Tell me which quarter you are trying to fix.
One free conversation is usually enough to name the service line that fits, and to say plainly when a smaller piece of work would answer the question first.
