Choosing the Right Service

Choose Startup Marketing Foundation if:

You're establishing your first marketing approach and need to build foundational infrastructure from the ground up. This works well for early-stage companies that haven't yet defined clear positioning or channel strategy.

Choose Go-to-Market Planning if:

You're launching a new product, service, or entering a new market and need a structured plan for introduction. This applies when you have something specific to launch and need coordination across channels.

Choose Product Positioning & Messaging if:

Your current messaging lacks clarity or fails to resonate with your target audience. This helps when you need to refine how you communicate value across different channels and segments.

What All Services Include

Regardless of which service you choose, you can expect the same core approach and commitment:

Knowledge Transfer

Building your team's capability to execute and evolve strategy

Typical Timeline

Most engagements follow a similar structure, though specific timelines vary based on scope and complexity.

1

Discovery (Week 1-2)

Initial conversations to understand your business, market, and objectives. We gather context and establish shared understanding of what needs to happen.

Research & Analysis (Week 2-4)

Independent research into your competitive landscape, target audience, and market positioning. This informs strategic recommendations.

3

Strategy Development (Week 4-6)

Collaborative working sessions where we develop and refine strategic approach. You're involved in the thinking process rather than receiving finished documents.
