Why most small business marketing consultants keep failing you

Brand-First Marketing
Stunning visuals mean nothing if they don't connect with your ideal customers

I'm a brand and web designer who became a marketer. Not the reverse. I ensure your brand story and visuals actually resonate before spending a dollar on ads.

Website That Delivers
Slow, confusing websites kill your marketing investment

Unlike typical marketers, I audit your site's UX and speed before campaigns launch. This means better conversion rates, lower bounce rates, and marketing budget that actually performs.

No Magical Metrics
Can't improve what you're not measuring correctly

I build custom dashboards that track real business outcomes. Leads, sales, and ROI. Not just clicks and impressions that most agencies fixate on.

I am not your average small business marketing consultant. Here is why

Real numbers. No spin

You’ll always know what’s working and what’s not.

Most agencies confuse you on purpose. I don’t.

Every report ties directly to revenue, not random metrics. You’ll see what’s generating leads, what isn’t, and where to invest next. My clients never have to ask, “What am I actually paying for?”

Built for tomorrow

Your marketing evolves as your business grows.

Growth shouldn’t break your systems or your sanity.

I design adaptable frameworks that work whether you’re a team of two or twenty. From smarter automation to brand consistency, every step is built to scale without losing what makes your business human.

No jargon, no ego

You’ll understand every decision I make.

I believe empowered clients make better decisions

I’ll teach you how to read your own data, identify opportunities, and think like a strategist. My goal isn’t to keep you dependent. It’s to build your confidence and capability long after our first campaign.

More questions?

Below are some frequently asked questions with my responses
What’s the difference between working with you and hiring a marketing agency?
drop down arrow icon

Agencies often rely on account managers and layers of process that slow down results. When you work with me, you deal directly with the strategist who designs and implements your marketing. You get agility, experience, and a clear strategy focused on ROI, not retainers.

How long before I start seeing results?
drop down arrow icon

It really depends on what's your current status. If you are starting from fresh, it will take 6-8 weeks to see some traction. SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and ChatGPT optimisation takes even longer. Once I create the initial strategy, I can give you a more realistic time frame. I focus on fixing the marketing fundamentals first so every campaign that follows performs better. It’s about building systems that compound, not short bursts of noise.

What kind of businesses do you work with?
drop down arrow icon

I work with funded startups and small businesses that have a clear vision and a long-term growth plan. My clients are strategic thinkers who want to build something sustainable, not chase quick wins. While I collaborate across industries, I’m especially drawn to businesses that value data, systems, and innovation, including emerging tech-driven brands that want to scale with clarity and purpose.

Do I need a marketing plan before working with you?
drop down arrow icon

No, that’s part of my process. I start with research, then build a strategy tailored to your goals, market, and resources. You’ll leave with a clear, actionable plan that shows exactly what to focus on and what to ignore.

How much does it cost to hire a Small Business Marketing Consultant?
drop down arrow icon

I offer fixed retainers and hourly options, depending on what you need. Retainers start from $1,500 AUD per month, and my hourly rate starts from $130 AUD. There are no lock-ins, just clear pricing and a scope that fits your goals.

Can I book one-off help instead of ongoing consulting?
drop down arrow icon

Yes. Many clients start with a single session or marketing review. It’s designed to give you clarity, direction, and a priority roadmap. You can implement it yourself, or bring me in to execute when you’re ready.

Do you work with existing teams or external partners?
drop down arrow icon

Yes. I can lead, support, or integrate with your existing marketing team or suppliers. The goal is alignment, making sure everyone works toward the same strategy and KPIs instead of running disconnected campaigns.

How do I know if we’re a good fit?
drop down arrow icon

If you’re a Melbourne-based small business or funded startup with a clear vision and a long-term mindset, we’ll likely be a great match. I work best with founders who value clarity, strategy, and measurable growth, not quick fixes or agency fluff. If you want a marketing partner who’s hands-on, honest, and focused on building systems that actually scale, we’ll get along just fine.
