Audits, advisory and mentoring for B2B companies that sell on long buying cycles.

I connect board-level strategic decisions with operational depth in digital, MarTech and analytics.

N S E W

Marketing without sales is spent budget.

Strategy without execution is a slide.

Execution without strategy is picking a tactic from a list of channels and hoping one of them works.

01 / Position

Who this is for

I work with companies that

  • sell complex products or services on cycles of several months or longer,
  • have real growth ambitions, but marketing and sales aren't aligned,
  • invest serious money in marketing and want to know what it returns,
  • are professionalising marketing or entering a new market.

I don't work with companies that

  • want 'leads in a week' or 'a viral on TikTok',
  • need an agency to delegate to, not a partner to decide with,
  • have no sales team, or won't involve it in the work,
  • believe one tool will fix a problem that lives in the process.

Four areas of work

Four formats, each with a different weight and a different way of billing. Mixed configurations are common - an audit as the entry point to a retainer, for example.

Audit & diagnosis

I find where marketing burns budget, where the funnel leaks, where the analytics lies. The output is a document with priorities and an action map for the next six months - no vague recommendations, just who, when and how.

Project, 3-6 weeks, fixed fee

Strategic advisory

Positioning, go-to-market strategy, a plan for entering a new market or segment, integrating marketing with sales. I work with the board and the CMO, not only with juniors. I think in P&L, not in channels.

Retainer, 3-6 months, or a closed project

Operational support

Where the strategic PowerPoint ends, the real work begins. Launching campaigns, designing lead-management processes, configuring the MarTech stack, reporting to the board in the language of P&L. I don't subcontract - I do it.

Hourly or project retainer

1:1 Mentoring

For senior marketers, directors and founders who need someone who has been there. Concrete problems, concrete answers, no coaching fluff. A session ends with a decision or an action plan for the next two weeks.

03 / Process

How we work

Four steps from the first conversation to marketing that works. Each has its moment, its deliverable and its cost.

  1. 01

    Bearing

    A short call, 30 minutes. We check whether there's something to talk about and whether the topic is for me. No sales pitch, no manufactured chemistry. If I see it's not for me, I say so directly and, if I can, point you to someone else.

  2. 02

    Chart

    A diagnosis of the problem and a proposed scope. No 40-slide proposals - one page with the plan, timeline, KPIs and pricing. Concrete enough for the board to decide in a single meeting.

  3. 03

    Voyage

    We agree the schedule, KPIs, reporting and the operational contact on your side. I work inside your tools and processes, not in a parallel reality. Weekly status, monthly results summary.

  4. 04

    Course correction

    Every two weeks we check whether we're on course. Marketing isn't a project with a deadline, it's a continuous operation. If a hypothesis doesn't hold, we adjust the plan instead of pretending everything is going as assumed.

04 / Approach

How I think about marketing

Three diagrams, three theses. Each one counters a common false assumption in B2B marketing. The first one is interactive - give it a click.

I

A funnel isn't a diagram, it's a network

The classic funnel - top, middle, bottom - is a teaching myth. A real B2B buying path is a graph of 8-12 touchpoints, where the buyer loops and circles back before deciding. Last-click attribution doesn't exist in that world.

II

Marketing meets sales

Marketing detached from sales is an exercise in spending budget. Real value is born in the overlap - where a lead enters the CRM, where an intent signal appears, where an SDR works. That junction needs process, tooling and an SLA, not just goodwill.

III

From strategy to execution

Most companies start marketing from the bottom of the ladder - picking a channel, a creative, a tool. Then they wonder why 'it doesn't work'. Only something built on a business foundation can work. Strategy without execution is a slide; execution without strategy is picking a tactic and hoping.

Long cycles reward those who hold the course.

06 / Principles

What I stand by

A funnel isn't a diagram. A funnel is a question: where exactly does the buyer get lost, and why.

MQL is an internal marketing metric. Sales doesn't live on MQLs - it lives on invoices.

If your marketing doesn't plug into the rep's work, it isn't marketing - it's PR.

An audit isn't there to find someone to blame. It's there to find where the money leaks and what to do about it.
