Although we do have an hourly rate for marketing consulting, quite often we work with clients on a number of different aspects of their marketing and they end up combining a marketing planning package with an outsource marketing package. The outsource marketing package lets them get some immediate help with the ‘doing’ and the marketing planning package gives them the ‘boost’ of time needed when we start working together to invest in strategic thinking. This planning will make implementation for the rest of the year so much easier. There are set prices for the packages that can be emailed upon enquiry. The prices for other services will be quoted on a per-project basis, with your unique requirements and budget in mind.

What is the process for working with you?

For any marketing consulting project, whether as a one-off freelance project or on-going planning package, the process of working with you follows the same steps outlined on this page.

Do you work with agencies?

You bet. If you are an agency needing to provide your client (either directly or indirectly) some strategic help with an area that you have limited knowledge about, we can help. We’ve worked alongside multiple agencies on client projects as well as been engaged by top agency DRAFTFCB to help their client from afar.

Where are you based?

At my home office in Auckland, New Zealand, a café, your office or in the cloud – technology removes any location barriers these days, so as long as we can virtually connect, we are good to go!

How far in advance do I need to book?

It really depends on the extent of your requirements. Typically, we can gather enough information via email/phone to work out the scale of a project and whether we are likely to be able to meet your deadline.

If a first meeting is viable, it can usually be held within a week or two of you getting in touch. After that initial meeting, we will be able to give you a better idea of the project timeline – in some cases, we will already be booked up and won’t be able to commence your project for a couple of weeks. Much of our time is allocated to our on-going retainer clients that are on monthly packages. We always aim to reserve some time for ad-hoc work – although obviously our capacity is limited.

If we have enough advance notice, we can arrange to accommodate your project. The best way to secure our time (and also offering the best value for money via access to reduced fees) is to take up one of our on-going packages, where the minimum duration is six months.
