MARKETING CONSULTING

Would you or your business benefit from sitting down one on one with a marketing consultant?

You can engage in a one off or regular marketing consulting engagement!

If you are doing some marketing yet finding it’s not really working for you. Or are considering a range of marketing activities, however don’t know which would be best. You could benefit from an initial marketing consult with us. Other clients engage us for monthly marketing consults. Here we review their performance to date, as well as help them to understand key marketing metrics, and what to do about them.

If you have any other questions about our consulting service, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our marketing consulting services

Furthermore, to keep drive and focus with the ongoing success of your marketing and business, we suggest regular marketing consulting. However you can also do an initial session to see how you feel (this can be done in person – we have people on the ground in various locations, or online) to touch base on where things are at. We can also discuss any arising issues and make plans for future activities and strategies.

This ensures you remain on track as you implement your marketing strategy. Furthermore, at these meetings we can also provide feedback/knowledge on any items you require our assistance with.

Our standard monthly marketing service generally includes (however customised packages are available):

– Monthly reporting on your marketing performance and how this has affected your business bottom line (social media, PR, website, ad spend etc.)
-Monthly meeting to review figures/KPIs and discuss arising issues/consult on marketing related activities i.e. website development, blog etc.
-Action plan – Arising action points placed on our online project management system clearly outlining person responsible and time frame required to complete keeping all accountable
-Ongoing communication via the online project management system as required within the month

TESTIMONIALS FROM CLIENTS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED OUR MARKETING CONSULTS

Natalie Steel

Amor Balloonz

We really appreciated all your advice the other day. I was reading off my business plan when you asked certain questions and quickly realised how wrong I was with our proposed target markets and strategies. Though I hold a business Diploma and Cert IV in bookkeeping, your expertise has been priceless.

Stuart Kruger

I’d like to take the time to pass on a big thank you to Tamara, Arvind & Alan.This process has been seamless and very enjoyable. Your organisation & communication has been impeccable, and this has made the journey pleasant. I have no hesitation in working with you again and will certainly be passing along recommendations wherever possible.

“Would highly recommend The Creative Collective. We own a small dental practice in NSW and The Creative Collective have been instrumental for all our social media and paid advertising and SEO needs. Easy to work with, very informative and regular feedback regarding ads/campaigns. We’ve been working together for the past 12 months and I’m sure this winning relationship will continue for the foreseeable future.

James Wallis

“Cant recommend The Creative Collective enough. Professional, intelligent, sound advice and expertise. Katrina and Yvette have been a pleasure to deal with. No pushy sales what so ever just great service and applicable information. Thanks!!!”

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR STRATEGY SESSIONS

Why should I pay to tell you about our business? Can’t I just come and meet you for free?

We are more than happy to speak to you for 15-20 minutes about your business/project/requirements which you can book here. If you need more time with us than that, we deem this a consult and do charge for this service. We are marketing professionals offering an extremely valuable service that can seriously improve your bottom line (you wouldn’t expect a free consult with your accountant or lawyer now would you?).

How do I book one of these sessions and when will the session be?

Simply enquire with us stating which of the above packages you are most interested in. We’ll raise you a quote to accept and thereafter an invoice along with some times the most relevant consultant is available. Our availability is subject to your locations + agenda you wish to focus on + timing. At times our consultants are in high demand and sessions may be booked 2-3 weeks ahead of time. At other times, we may have someone available to meet with you within the week. We will always do our best to accommodate your timeframes where possible.
