The Advisory Program

The advisory program is purposely built to serve the needs of a growing platform and marketplace businesses.

To make the most benefit from this program:

  • You believe in longterm thinking.
  • You believe results take time but compound with consistent effort & refinement.
  • You’re not looking for a “magic bullet” to solve all of your problems.
  • You’re growing quickly and value outside, non-partial, strategic guidance.
  • You have recently or about to raise funding and need guidance accelerating your growth.

How It Works

During this program I will guide you through my marketplace growth framework to help you to:

  • Build a scalable and sustainable growth machine, that is based on systems, not hacks.
  • Add clarity to your marketing with better messaging and positioning.
  • Shift your growth into a new gear by aligning your product, sales and marketing efforts.
  • Put the right foundations in place for your growth, supply and demand strategies.
  • Solve your most pressing issues by providing an outside perspective.

The program includes

  • Unlimited 1:1 access to me via slack and email.
  • Personalised onboarding and initial assessment during our kick-off call.
  • Deep-dive advisory calls every other week (60 minutes or more if necessary).
  • Ongoing feedback on your growth and marketing efforts.

The program is structured into 2 stages: discovery period and ongoing engagement.

‍

Discovery Period (First 4 Weeks)

During the discovery phase, we'll understand your unique situation and build foundation for our ongoing engagement.

  • I'll share with you a detailed questionnaire to help assess your situation and identify any blindspots that you may have.
  • We'll discuss your key priorities and your personalised assessment in our initial conversation.
  • We’ll develop measurable goals based on your initial assessment to pursue over the next 3 and 12 months.
  • We'll build a list of quick wins to get the momentum going.

Ongoing Engagement

Once we've have a good understanding of your situation, we'll continue working through build, grow and optimize phases of the framework (as discussed in my framework video above).

  • We'll build out your marketing machine by building processes and systems that can operate without my inputs.
  • I'll advise you on marketing positions and roles to hire to build a high-performing marketing function, whether in-house or external.
  • I'll help you choose the right marketing tools to use for your unique situation.
  • I'll provide you feedback on marketing materials and deliverables produced by your team or outside suppliers.
  • You can contact me any day or time with questions. I reply within 24 hours but usually much quicker during the business hours.

What’s not included?

  • ‍I don’t do project management. You will need to allocate a certain amount of time every week to the management of your marketing. This includes managing timelines, task follow-ups, adherence to budgets, and team accountabilities.‍
  • I don’t provide in-depth training. If you want to learn new skills (i.e. performance marketing or website development), you’ll need to learn how to do it independently. I can help by pointing you in the right direction if required.‍
  • I don’t do hands-on execution work. This includes things like software configuration, entire website wireframes, or writing content/communication drafts. I can, however, provide content general outlines, creative input, strategic direction, and feature mockups/wireframes where needed to illustrate a point.

Pricing and Terms

The investment for this program is $3,000/month with a 3-month minimum commitment. All payments are due in advance of the period.

100% Money-Back Guarantee

If we’re not a good fit, I don’t want your money. If you’re unsatisfied for any reason after the first 30 days, I’ll refund my entire fee in full. After that, there are no refunds under any exceptions.
