PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

The seven problems
founders bring to us.

Most of what we're called in to fix falls into one of these. Each one has cost the business real money before we arrived — and each has a defined route out.

What we're brought in to fix

Seven problems. Seven defined routes out.

01.

You're spending five figures a month and can't prove what's working.

Platform dashboards say one thing, the bank says another. Attribution is held together by best guesses and the last agency's spreadsheet.

How we fix it

We rebuild tracking from server-side up, reconcile platform numbers to revenue, and report performance in margin, not ROAS theatre.

02.

The agency keeps reporting wins. Revenue hasn't moved.

Impressions, reach, engagement, click-through. The deck looks healthy. Pipeline and cash do not.

How we fix it

We audit the account, govern the agency to revenue targets, and replace the seat where it's the right call. You stop paying for activity dressed as outcome.

03.

You need a senior marketer. You don't need a full-time hire.

A £180k CMO is overkill at your stage; a junior marketing manager can't govern agencies or sit in front of the board.

How we fix it

Fractional CMO seat — senior strategy, agency governance and board-grade reporting on a monthly retainer, with an in-house build team behind it.

04.

Every landing page or site change is a three-month agency cycle.

By the time the page ships, the campaign is over. Quote and enquiry flows are stitched together and leak.

How we fix it

An in-house build team ships premium sites, landing pages, quote/enquiry/booking systems in days, not quarters. You own the code and the assets.

05.

Search has changed and you're not in the answer.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Copilot now sit between the buyer and your website. The old SEO playbook doesn't surface you in their answers.

How we fix it

We restructure your site, content and entities so AI search engines cite you — not the competitor who already invested.

06.

Your CRM is a contact list, not a pipeline.

Lifecycle is ad-hoc, email is broken, the sales team is working from memory. Reporting up to the board is a monthly fiction.

How we fix it

We design the lifecycle, build the journeys in HubSpot, Salesforce or Klaviyo, and rebuild reporting so the board sees pipeline, not narrative.

07.

Growth has stalled and no one can tell you why.

Revenue is flat or sliding. The team is busy. The channel mix, the offer, the funnel, the brand — no one is holding the whole picture.

How we fix it

Marketing & Data Audit: fixed-fee diagnostic across ad accounts, tracking, agency performance and channel mix. You get the picture and the plan to unstall it.
