Bespoke marketing consulting services
Agency search, new business pitching, partner optimization
Working collaboratively with both brands and agencies, I help lay the foundation for effective marketing relationships. Brands benefit from my comprehensive discovery process to better understand the current state of their agency roster and relationships. This helps determine if a new search is necessary or if a restructuring of their partnership model will address the current challenges. If a search is deemed necessary, we establish the right criteria and process to yield the best agency partnership in future.
Having sat through over 100 agency pitches and consulted on dozens of agency new business endeavors, I have a sound grasp of the agency landscape in Canada.
Agencies utilize my client expertise to strengthen their capabilities and unique selling propositions, which ultimately improves business conversions.
Growth-focussed marketing consulting
Working as your Fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), or Fractional Chief Growth Officer (CGO), I provide you with the insights and strategies you need – without the commitment of a full-time, permanent hire.
CMO and CGO mandates to date have included marketing and sponsorship strategy, content and email marketing, brand development, stakeholder sell-ins, pitch consultations, celebrity contract and Master Service Agreement (MSA) negotiations, and business development.
Professional relationship management
Operating a multi-agency model can be challenging and overwhelming, as is the sea of agencies available. As a neutral third party looking in from the outside, I can find efficiencies and new partner models that are often overlooked by organizations too deep into their partner histories.
I help strengthen connections between brands and agencies and offer perspective on how to best leverage partners and build a profitable business. Working as a mediator, I help deliver high-calibre work between agency partners and in-house teams while establishing long-lasting relationships.
