The problem / why this matters

Most marketing plans aren't plans.

They're wish-lists. Channels listed without budgets. KPIs that nobody owns. Vendors hired and never measured. Big slides, small results.

We write marketing strategy the way a serious CMO would — channel-agnostic, evidence-based and ruthlessly tied to commercial outcomes.

In depth / what makes a strategy real

A real strategy says what to stop.

Any plan that only adds things is a budget request, not a strategy. Real marketing strategy makes choices — about audience, channels, propositions and timing — and is judged by what it leaves out as much as by what it keeps.

Commercial first

Every strategic decision ties back to a commercial number — revenue, margin, retention, CAC payback. We don't plan for "awareness" without a route to a real KPI behind it.

Mix by maturity

Early-stage businesses need different channel mixes from category leaders. A direct-response strategy that works at Series A is wrong at Series C — and vice versa.

Decisions, not decks

Our strategy outputs are decisions: positioning chosen, audience picked, channels committed, budget allocated. The deck is a record of those decisions, not a substitute for them.

What's included

Strategy, plan, forecast.

Commercial review

Honest look at growth model, unit economics, funnel and current marketing performance.

Audience & positioning

Sharper audience definition and positioning — informed by customer interviews where helpful.

Channel strategy

A defended mix of channels with budgets, KPIs and a 90-day execution plan.

Forecast

Pipeline and revenue forecast tied to the plan, with sensitivity ranges you can plan cash against.

Measurement

KPI hierarchy, dashboard design and attribution approach.

Activation roadmap

Practical roadmap of who does what, when — internally or via external partners.

Process / how it works

Review, choose, commit.

  1. Commercial review

    Deep-dive on growth, funnel, unit economics and current marketing activity.

  2. Audience & insight

    Customer and sales-team interviews to surface what's actually working.

  3. Strategy workshop

    Half- or full-day session with leadership to choose audience, position and channel priorities.

  4. Plan & forecast

    Documented 90-day plan with budgets, KPIs, owners and a defendable forecast.

  5. Activate

    Hand to your team — or execute through our delivery teams under a separate retainer.

Case study / Series A scaleup

CAC payback halved, team kept their nerve.

A Series A scaleup spreading marketing thinly across six channels. We made hard choices — killed three, doubled down on two, paused one — and rebuilt the plan around CAC payback. Within two quarters CAC payback halved.

Questions / answered

Questions, answered.

Do you also execute the strategy? Optionally. Many clients execute in-house; others move to a delivery retainer with our team. We'll be honest about which is right.
Will the strategy be specific? Yes. Channels, budgets, KPIs, owners and dates — not vague directional pillars.
Who leads the work? A senior strategist (typically with 12+ years' experience), supported by junior analysts. You won't be passed to a graduate after kickoff.
How long does a strategy project take? Diagnostic: 2 weeks. Full strategy: 6 weeks. Fractional CMO: ongoing.
Can you work with our existing agencies? Yes — most strategy engagements include reviewing and briefing incumbent agencies. We'll improve them rather than replace them where it makes sense.
Marketing strategy

A Marketing Strategy Agency that ships a 12-page plan, not a 60-slide deck.

Most marketing strategies end up in a Drive folder nobody opens. Ours don't, because we write them to be operated, not admired. Our Marketing Strategy Services start with one workshop and end with a 12-page document your team can run from week one: positioning, channel priorities, content calendar, budget allocation, and the three metrics that actually matter.

We work with Birmingham SMEs and UK B2B brands who need a Marketing Strategy Agency that thinks in compounds, not campaigns. Each engagement is led by a senior strategist. No junior account managers, no offshore strategists, no templated frameworks copied from a 2018 blog post.
