Problems this programme solves

This is for companies that:

Spend on ads, agencies, content, events or sponsorships

See some leads and activity, but profit is unclear or unstable

Get reports full of clicks and impressions, but not clear revenue numbers

Have tools (CRM, Google Analytics, ad accounts, email tools), but data is scattered and nobody fully trusts it

Typical symptoms:

“We do a lot, but I don’t know what really moves the needle.

Sales and marketing blame each other for weak pipeline.

New ideas appear every month, but nothing is finished and measured.

What we do – four pillars

We build a simple, revenue-first system. All four parts are required; we do not treat the tech as a side project.

Offer and funnel clarity

Choose 1–2 core offers to lead with (not ten).

Define a plain-language funnel from first contact to closed deal:

  • How people find you
  • What they do before they speak to sales
  • When they become a real opportunity
  • When they become revenue

Map what is happening today:

  • Which channels actually bring opportunities
  • Where leads get stuck or drop
  • Where money leaks (poor follow-up, wrong offers, wrong segments)

Output:

A one-page funnel map that owner, sales and marketing all recognise and agree on.

Channel mix and campaigns

Review current channels one by one: search, social, email, outbound, events, partners, referrals.

Group them into:

  • Keep and protect – profitable, steady performers
  • Fix or test again – potential but misused
  • Stop – proven budget drain

Design a small set of focused campaigns:

  • Each campaign has one purpose, one main offer, and clear next steps
  • No campaign runs without a simple way to measure if it worked

Output:
A 90-day campaign and channel plan with owners, budgets and clear expectations.

Marketing stack and tracking (core pillar, not optional)

We treat the stack as part of revenue work, not as a separate IT topic.

Audit your tools:

  • CRM
  • Ad accounts
  • Analytics
  • Forms, booking tools, email tools

Fix the minimum needed connections so we can follow money:

  • Lead source recorded in CRM in a usable way
  • Opportunities and deals linked back to channels and campaigns
  • Key events tracked on the website/landing pages (form submitted, demo booked, etc.)

Remove or pause tools that add cost and confusion but do not help decisions.

Set up simple views for the owner:

  • Leads per channel
  • Cost per lead and cost per customer
  • Pipeline value and conversion rates by stage

Why this belongs here:

Demand generation without basic tracking is guesswork. The stack exists for one reason: to show what brings revenue and what wastes budget. Without that, we cannot cut bad campaigns or double down on good ones.

Output:

A “good enough” stack and set of reports that let us say with confidence:
– “This brings profit, this does not”
and then act on it.

Experiments and optimisation

Define a simple test method:

  • What exactly are we testing? (offer, audience, channel, message)
  • How long do we run it?
  • What result would count as “good enough to keep”?

Align marketing and sales:

  • Shared view of what a good lead looks like
  • Clear handover rules
  • Agreed follow-up steps and timing

Keep a visible, shared backlog of ideas:

  • New tests go into the backlog
  • We run them in order, not in random bursts

Output:

A 90-day test roadmap and a basic operating rhythm, so the engine keeps running even when the owner is busy.

How the engagement works

Typical pattern (can be adjusted):

Weeks 1–2: Audit and clarity

  • Funnel mapping
  • Channel and spend review
  • Stack and data review
  • Quick wins: stop obvious waste, fix simple blockers

Weeks 3–4: Plan and setup

  • 90-day revenue and pipeline goals agreed
  • Channels and campaigns selected
  • Minimum stack and reporting fixes done

Months 2–4: Run and refine

  • 2–3 test cycles
  • Regular check-ins with owner and sales
  • Reports built around pipeline and revenue, not just lead counts
Part-time Marketing Director leads the work. Your existing team and agencies execute under his or her direction.

What the client needs to bring

We are honest about this upfront:
Someone who can pull numbers and grant access (CRM, ads, analytics)
A sales lead or owner who can join regular reviews
A basic appetite for change: offers, pricing, team roles, agency set-up may need to shift
Without this, the engine will not run.

How success is measured

We define success in simple, numeric terms, for example:

More qualified opportunities from the same or lower spend

Lower cost per customer in core channels

Shorter time from lead to close in key segments

Fewer “mystery” deals where nobody can say where the lead came from
