advisory services

As a senior marketing executive, you have the courage and trust that marketing should and can have a significantly greater role in the organization than it currently does. You recognize the massive potential of your marketing function, but at the same time, you may feel that marketing is not aligned with business priorities and is not part of the business concept.

We help you build a valuable marketing function where marketing’s impact is understood, recognized, and it receives the investment necessary for growth. Marketing is part of the way business is done, securing a seat at the table for early strategic planning. It operates with clarity where expectations are clear, communication flows, and performance is tied to objective business outcomes.

Work with us

The obstacles we help you with

Our typical clients turn to us because they face these common challenges:

Unprovable value: Your team's hard work and the value you create are not always recognized across the organization, and marketing is frequently the first area to face budget cuts. It feels hard to demonstrate the true value your function creates.
Limited alignment with business: Marketing is seen only as part of the execution, not as part of early strategic planning.
Too busy to improve: Trapped working in marketing, not on marketing. Budget cuts and ad hoc tasks make it hard to focus on key strategic priorities.
Internal chaos: The internal effort is fragmented, and you might feel like the department's activities lack a clear, unified purpose.

This is why it’s hard to demonstrate the true value of your marketing function.

And that’s where we come in.

Who we work with

We work with senior marketing executives who are high-autonomy leaders in complex B2B industries, including industrial, professional services, software, and technology.

Typically, organizations are sales, expertise, or engineer-driven, with a big emphasis on traditional sales. Some even think good products or expertise sell themselves.

What these marketing leaders have in common is that they all share the courage and belief in marketing's potential. Their specific challenges differ based on their function.

How we work with you

We use a blended approach of a consultant and an executive coach. Instead of standard recommendations, we bring battle-tested frameworks and over a decade of experience in working with marketing teams in complex B2B industries. Depending on the lifecycle of the engagement, we either focus more on consulting or coaching.

Consulting
We act as an objective, analytical partner to help you find the root cause and deliver clear, expert recommendations for the right path forward.

Executive Coaching
We work as your coaching partner to help you make informed decisions based on your function’s specific needs. We consistently bring fresh, external perspectives to challenge your thinking. We support you in effectively managing the changes needed to establish the new way of working as a standard practice.

Also, you will empower your internal team, who will gain confidence and new capabilities from a modernized, accountable marketing structure.

We’ve done it before in complex B2B industries by leveraging battle-tested frameworks and effectively managing change. We have helped marketing executives to reduce ad hoc marketing activities, increase perceived marketing value by up to 300 percent, and generate nearly three times the results with the same existing resources.

Building blocks for a more valuable marketing function —

Our advisory services follow a structured framework designed to support you in increasing your marketing function’s value to the organization. It was developed to solve challenges such as unclear expectations, inability to provide or prove business impact, ad hoc requests, and constant firefighting.

These five key critical elements are building blocks when you aim to bring even more value as a marketing function:

1. Internal Vision: Clear vision for the marketing function

Define a clear vision for the marketing function. What is your desired role and the value (value levers) you deliver?

2. Alignment: Build commitment with stakeholders 

Build commitment and align your business stakeholders to the new vision. This clarifies your strategic role.

3. Operational Excellence: Minimize ad hoc and build trust for execution

Professionalize the function to minimize ad hoc and build stakeholder trust for execution through more professional leadership. 

4. Value Communication: Prove the value of marketing 

Capture your stakeholders’ attention by proving and communicating the total impact of marketing on the business.

5. Value Creation: Create more value for the business 

Identify and activate the specific levers through which your marketing function generates measurable, new value for the business. Focus on value levers that are pricing power, commercial efficiency, and competitive advantage.
