Clarity. Direction. A practical plan - in one week.

Two focused half-days to step back, untangle the noise, and leave with a clear, prioritised marketing plan you can actually use.

Sometimes you don’t need a six-month strategy project. You need space to think, someone senior to challenge you properly, and a structured plan that brings confidence back into your decisions.

​

Strategy in a Day is a concentrated sprint designed to give you exactly that.

How it works

Half-day one - Deep dive​

We look closely at your current marketing activity, your business goals, what’s working, what isn’t, and where energy is being wasted. We interrogate assumptions and clarify what really matters.​

​

Digest​

I step away and turn everything into a clear structure - identifying priorities, trade-offs, and practical next steps.​

​

Half-day two - Plan & present​

Within the same week, I return with a structured plan. You’ll receive immediate recommendations, a short-term action plan, and a longer-term roadmap to guide future decisions.

What you get

  • A clear view of your current marketing position

  • Defined priorities - what to focus on, pause, or stop

  • A practical 90-day action plan

  • A longer-term strategic direction

  • A written summary document you can share internally

  • No vague frameworks. No generic slides. Just clarity and direction.

Who it's for

  • Growing consultancies that need sharper focus

  • Teams lacking senior strategic input

  • Organisations preparing for growth, funding, or repositioning

  • Leaders who want confidence in their marketing decisions

  • It’s particularly useful when momentum has slowed, priorities feel blurred, or internal teams need alignment.

Why it works

​​Strategy in a Day combines senior, in-house grounded thinking with a fixed, clearly defined scope. Delivered within one week, it produces practical outputs you can act on immediately - giving you direction and momentum, not just ideas.
