Who we work with
We are built for marketing leaders who have decided that their function can no longer continue as it is.

CASE STUDY
CASE STUDY
Case: From ‘event organizer’ to ‘business partner’ in a global industrial company
In this global industrial organization, the VP of Marketing knew that marketing needed to evolve from a traditional event organizer into a strategic business partner. The question was how to get there.
Read how we helped a VP of Marketing with a 30+ person team move from reactive firefighting to build a foundation for accountability and redefine marketing's strategic role.
What our clients have in common —
The leader
We work with experienced Senior Marketing Executives, like CMOs, VPs, Directors, and Head of Marketings.
You can lead either the whole marketing, a region, or a business line.
Typically, you lead a team of 5 to 50 members and have the autonomy to make real changes to how your department operates.
Typical obstacles we help you with
Most of our clients come to us because they feel marketing has hit a ceiling. We help you overcome challenges like:
• Unclear expectations: Business stakeholders don’t know what to expect from marketing.
• The perception trap: Stakeholders view marketing as a "PowerPoint byrå," an event organizer, or just a lead gen machine. Marketing is not seen as a strong business partner.
• The impact gap: You struggle to prove marketing’s value to the business.
• Production house's way of working: The gap between marketing and the core business makes long-term planning difficult, and ad hoc requests and firefighting are common.
• Leadership: You are brought into the conversation too late to influence strategy and are forced to focus only on tactics. Your focus is working on "in marketing", not "on marketing".
The concrete outcomes
We impact important factors that affect your function's success. This leads to clear and measurable business results, such as:
Value credited to marketing growth of +300%
Ad-hoc marketing work massive cut: often to less than 5%
Strategic role is clear for marketing in the way of doing business with improved, proven impact on chosen value levers.
