  • Customer & partner relationships. Conversations, agreements, onboarding and the questions that need following up.
  • Community management. Audience communication, feedback, volunteer coordination and membership work.
  • Launch & team coordination. Tasks, people, deadlines, supplier or freelancer coordination and handovers.
  • Business organisation. Commercial priorities, working processes and who takes responsibility for each task.

Other project services can be included where agreed. We review the workload as it develops, so the time goes to the tasks that need it.

Maintain an established subscription using your supplied content.

  • Organise, upload and publish agreed releases.

Review & direction

Business Review
& Plan

$2,500 USD · One business or business unit

For a business with several competing priorities and no clear starting point. We examine how it works, explore up to three priorities in depth and build a plan for the next 90 days.

See what a report looks like. A fictional studio example informed by real company insight, with the detail deliberately kept broad.

Read the 90-day plan example
What the review includes

Understand the business

Review products, offers and channels; CRM and follow-up; pricing and margins; partners, people and working practices.

Make ownership clear

A responsibility map, up to two priority workflow outlines and an action tracker to clarify how the work will happen.

Choose the priorities

Up to three priorities explored with the effort, cost, dependencies and next decision made explicit.

A practical 90-day plan

Each priority gets a named or proposed owner, a first action, a target date, completion criteria and a way to measure progress.

Conversations, handover and follow-up

  • Up to three stakeholder conversations, including a founder kickoff.
  • A 90-minute decision and handover session.
  • One consolidated revision.
  • A 30-minute follow-up within 30 days.

The plan separates work your team can do now from work that needs outside help or additional budget. You keep the plan and can take it forward yourself.

Typical timing: 2–3 weeks after the agreed inputs arrive. Implementation is scoped separately.

Custom quoteAgreed deliverables · Separate marketing scope

Marketing and creative support is available as an agreed piece of work. We define the audience, deliverables, quantities, formats and revision rounds before starting.

Marketing and creative services
  • Campaign planning & promotion: audience development, advertising, promotional partnerships, influencer outreach and PR coordination.
  • Copy & content: sales copy, promotional email campaigns and social content.
  • Graphics & materials: banners, product visuals and presentation materials; video work is separately scoped.

Marketing is not bundled into crowdfunding or subscription launch fees. Separately agreed marketing work can use monthly capacity where it fits the plan. Advertising spend and external production costs are additional.

Discuss marketing support

Before we start

The practical details.

You keep final decisions and approval of spending. Additional work is always agreed first.

What is included in the fees?

Fees cover the agreed consultancy scope. All prices are in USD and exclude applicable taxes, platform fees, advertising spend, software, travel and third-party specialists. Extra work is agreed first at $75 per hour or separately quoted.

How are launch fees agreed?

Published launch fees are starting prices. We agree a fixed quote covering the platform, scope, assets, revisions, timing and support period before starting. Complex campaigns or multi-platform launches may cost more. You retain final decisions and approval of spending.

What needs a separate quote?

Larger teams, multiple businesses or business units, extensive data reconstruction and deep research across many markets need a separate scope and quote. Implementation following a Business Review & Plan is also agreed separately.

Can we begin without a full review?

Yes. If a project is already clear enough to scope, we can start there. The review is useful when priorities, ownership or the underlying problem need to be worked out first.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

I work with independent product brands, e-commerce businesses, creators and studios. My experience spans toys, clothing, retail, online sales and the tabletop industry. The fit comes down to the work you need help with: sales, partnerships, business organisation, community or launch coordination.

What outcomes do the fees cover?

The fees cover the agreed work and delivery responsibilities. Funding totals, subscriber numbers and revenue are not guaranteed. Campaign results also depend on the offer, audience, promotion and your ability to deliver the promised products or content.

How do we get started?

Start with a message about the business, the work you need help with and any timing or budget constraints. We can discuss the scope from there.
