Who we work with
We are built for marketing leaders who have decided that their function can no longer continue as it is.
Our typical client comes to us because they know the potential for marketing is much higher than what they are currently capturing. They all share the courage and belief in marketing's potential, and want to build a more strategic role for their marketing function.
You’re in good company
We proudly work with senior marketing leaders across the complex B2B industries, including major players in industrial, software, and professional services.
Our most impactful work often focuses on sensitive internal leadership dynamics and organizational change. Our value is proven through the measurable outcomes we deliver, not through public testimonials.

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 from the business stakeholders - what results to expect?
• How marketing is perceived by stakeholders (PowerPoint byrå, events or lead gen machine)
• Proving marketing impact and value on the business
• Prioritizing the right and most valuable initiatives
• Get the team row in the same direction, as a one team
• “Production house” way of working, not as a strong business partner
• Too late to influence, more on the tactics, not on the strategy
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.
