Marketing
Should Be Fun.

Founders Rarely Get To The Part That Is.

You know your customer better than any consultant ever will. You just never get to the part of marketing you actually like — because the week fills up with tracking, cleanup and vendor email, and the good stuff never makes the list.

No retainer, no proposal, no scope until we’ve done this first

The Question I Open With

Are YouHaving Fun?

I ask every founder that in the first ten minutes. Nobody answers it slowly.

When the answer is no, it’s almost never a people problem. It’s that whoever is holding marketing — you, most likely — is carrying the maintenance and never reaching the work that maintenance was supposed to make possible.

That’s not a mood. It’s information. And it’s fixable without you handing over the part you’re good at.

Where The Week Actually Goes

TWO HALVES OF THE JOB.
YOU ONLY EVER REACH ONE.

The Toll
Necessary · Endless · Never Finished
  • Tracking that broke again
  • GA4 events nobody configured
  • A CRM full of uncleaned data
  • Reporting nobody reads
  • The vendor who didn’t deliver
  • Duplicate and junk leads
  • Reviews to chase
  • UTM sprawl
  • Landing page copy to fix
  • Ad account audits
  • The standing agency call
  • Google Business updates
  • Recruiting posts
  • Twelve small things a week
The Job
The Reason You Got Into This
The Idea.

The campaign nobody saw coming. The zag your competitors won’t touch. The reason people choose you, said out loud in a way your market can’t miss.

The toll isn’t optional. It’s just not the job.
How This Works
I Take
  • Positioning, strategy and the 12-month plan
  • Vendor and agency management — and accountability
  • Tracking, measurement and reporting that holds up
  • The calendar, the follow-through, the loose ends
  • Every one of those twelve small things
You Keep
  • The brainstorm — if you want a seat in it
  • The final call on everything
  • The customer knowledge nobody can outsource
  • Your name on the work
  • The fun part

THE
DISCOVERY DAY.

Three and a half hours. I ask a great many questions and you do most of the talking.

I don’t write a proposal before this and I don’t take a retainer without it. Diagnosing a business from the outside is guessing — and you have already paid for enough of that.

  1. We go through the business, not the marketingHow you make money, who your best customers actually are, what you’re known for and what you want to be known for.
  2. I audit what’s under the hoodAnalytics, ad accounts, CRM, site, vendors. Where the leaks are and what’s quietly not being measured at all.
  3. You get the findings straightIncluding the parts you’d rather not hear. My value to you is being the person who says them.
  4. Then we decide if there’s a fitYou leave with a written plan you can execute with or without me. If it ends there, it was still worth the day.
One Conversation, Then You Decide

LET’S GET YOU BACK TO
THE FUN PART.

If you’re the founder holding marketing and you still like it — don’t hand it off. Hand off everything around it.

Tell me a little about the company and I’ll come back with times for a Discovery Day.
