Our commitments

Fees that are easy to trust

Consulting fees should never feel open ended. We structure every engagement so you know exactly what you are paying for and what you will receive.

  • Fixed fees for defined scope. The proposal price is the price, unless you choose to expand scope in writing.
  • No commissions or markups. We never earn money from the media, agencies or software we recommend.
  • Senior consultants throughout. The people in the proposal meeting are the people who do the work.
  • Clear deliverables. Every proposal lists exactly what you will receive at each phase.
  • Confidentiality by default. Mutual NDAs available before any substantive discussion.

Unsure which engagement fits?

Most leaders are not sure at first, and that is exactly what the discovery consultation is for.

In forty five minutes we will understand your situation, identify your most pressing growth constraint and recommend the engagement that will create the most value. If a smaller engagement will do the job, we will say so.

Fee questions

About investment

Hourly billing rewards consultants for taking longer. Fixed fees reward us for being efficient and give you certainty about cost. If an engagement takes us longer than planned, that is our responsibility, not yours.

Project engagements are typically invoiced fifty percent at signing and fifty percent on delivery of the final strategy. Larger engagements may be split across phase milestones. Fractional CMO and advisory retainers are billed monthly in advance.

Yes. The packages above describe common scopes, but most proposals are tailored. We will adjust depth, timeline and deliverables to fit your situation and budget while being clear about any trade offs.

Yes, with no obligation. It is a genuine working conversation with a senior consultant, and most leaders leave with at least one useful insight whether or not they choose to engage us.
