Strategy with a number attached

Most strategy decks survive one boardroom and die in the QBR. Ours are built to survive the forecast. Every recommendation carries a sizing, a confidence interval, and a named method for attribution — so quarter-by-quarter, the plan either holds or gets corrected on evidence.

We do the math before we do the deck. If a recommendation can't be connected to a revenue line, it doesn't go in.

FAQ.

What makes a growth strategy "revenue-accountable"?
Three conditions — a named revenue KPI written into the scope, a tested attribution method agreed in writing, and a review rhythm that catches drift before quarter-end. We document all three in the engagement plan and share the scoring method with clients who want to audit it.
How long does a growth strategy engagement take?
A typical GTM or positioning engagement runs 8–14 weeks to a board-ready plan, plus a 6–24 month implementation partnership. Marketing maturity assessments run 4–6 weeks. Complex multi-market strategies take longer — usually because research is the long pole, not recommendation writing.
Do you replace our existing agencies?
Rarely. We most often sit above or beside an existing agency-of-record as the research-and-strategy partner. We take over creative or media only when the client explicitly wants end-to-end consolidation and only when the research and strategy foundations are ours to build.
Can you work with a client who doesn't have clean data?
Yes — most of the time, that's the starting condition. Our first 4–8 weeks often includes data-foundation work with our Data & Analytics practice so the attribution method can actually be trusted. We scope that plainly up front.
What's the difference from a McKinsey or Bain engagement?
Three things. We do primary research (not just interviews), we build the digital stack ourselves (not via a subcontracted systems integrator), and our scope attaches to a revenue line by contract. Fee structures reflect it — lower on diagnostic, higher on outcome.
Do you share your methodology publicly?
Yes. Our Revenue-Accountable Marketing Partner framework walks through the method, scoring, and review rhythm in full. Clients can fork it for internal use, and the measurement approach is MASB-aligned for external scrutiny.
