Engagement 03 · Partnership application

Apply for the Ongoing Strategic Partnership

This is a selective engagement. A small number of brands are accepted at any one time to ensure the quality of strategic input. Start by telling me where you are in the process.

Have you completed the Complete Marketing Audit with me?

The audit is a prerequisite for the partnership — not a formality, but a foundation. Your answer determines the right next step.

Yes — I've completed the Complete Marketing Audit

I've been through all three phases and received the strategy documents and debrief calls

No — I haven't done the audit yet

I'm new here or I only completed the Paid Acquisition Diagnostic

In progress — I've started but haven't finished all three phases

I'm currently in Phase 01, 02 or 03 of the Complete Marketing Audit

The Complete Marketing Audit comes first — here's exactly why

The partnership works because I know your brand at a level that takes most consultants months to reach. The Complete Marketing Audit is how I get there in three weeks — before we commit to six months together.

This isn't a gatekeeping rule. It's how I protect your investment. A partnership without the audit is six months of strategic guesswork. With it, the first session is already targeted, the first 90 days are already mapped, and the first gap is already identified.

I already know your biggest constraint before session one

Without the audit, we spend the first 6–8 weeks of the partnership getting oriented. With it, we walk into the first strategy session with a full picture of your paid gaps, channel inefficiencies, and retention leaks — and we start solving immediately.

The audit is a low-risk way to test the relationship

Before you commit to a fixed monthly investment for six months, you get to see the exact strategic insights, clarity, and direction that will help grow your brand. The audit is a proof of concept for a bigger commitment.

The audit roadmap becomes the partnership's first 90-day plan

The synthesis document from Phase 03 — the cross-channel priority list — becomes the strategic input for months one and two of the partnership. You're not starting over. You're building on a foundation we already built together.

You're on the right track — finish the audit first

Good news: you're already in the process. The partnership application opens once all three phases of the Complete Marketing Audit are complete and you've received the final synthesis document.

If you're in Phase 01 or 02, come back once Phase 03 is done. If you're waiting on your Phase 03 debrief, bookmark this page — you'll be ready to apply within days.

Engagement 03 · Application form

Let's talk about working together

This is a short application — not a repeat of the audit intake. I already know your brand. What I need are readiness signals: where you are now, what you want to achieve, and whether the timing is right for both of us.

Limited availability — small number of partnerships open at any time

Where things stand since the audit

How long ago did you complete the Complete Marketing Audit?*

What has changed or moved since the audit was completed?*

There's no right answer here. This tells me where the starting point for month one actually is.

Strategic readiness

What does success look like for you at the end of six months?*

What is the single biggest strategic decision you're facing right now?*

Whether and how much to scale paid spend

Which channel or initiative to prioritise next

Whether to change, expand or consolidate the agency setup

Building out the in-house marketing team

Deciding whether now is the right time to hire a full-time CMO

Something else — I'll explain in the open field below

Who else is involved in this decision?

Just me — I'm the decision maker

Me and a co-founder

Me and a board or investors

Me and a marketing team lead

This helps me understand what the onboarding conversation needs to cover and who should be in the room for the first session.

What happens after you submit

Application reviewed — within 48 hours

I read every application personally against your existing audit file. If the fit looks right, you receive a calendar link for a 30-minute alignment call.

30-minute alignment call

Not a sales call. A direct conversation about your goals, your current setup, and whether the partnership is the right move at this stage. I'll tell you honestly if it isn't.

Partnership confirmed and onboarding begins

If we both decide to move forward, the engagement is confirmed, the first session is scheduled, and we pick up directly from where the audit left off.

If it's not the right fit — you'll know why

If the timing or setup isn't right, I'll tell you clearly — and point you toward what would actually move the needle for your brand right now instead.
