If marketing isn’t your thing, or if you don’t have a clear direction, a strategy session with us is a really good idea…
There is a lot to know when it comes to marketing...
Are you doing some marketing, yet finding it’s not really working for you? Have you created a brand or website you’re not really happy with, but are unsure what direction to take it in now? Or are you considering a range of marketing activities, however, don’t know which would be best and how to apportion your marketing for a set campaign or your marketing generally this year?
If so, you may benefit from an initial marketing strategy / consult with us.
We offer a range of packages – from our starter two hours of power session, right through to half day and full day sessions which are great when there are multiple stakeholders and product or service offerings to discuss. Scroll down for more.
Customised to suit your needs
Sessions can be conducted online or in person where geography permits (our offices are in Newcastle + the Sunshine Coast and we also have consultants + access to offices in most of the major cities in Australia).
In all cases a bespoke agenda will be defined and sent to you prior to the day outlining the proposed topics to be covered (though we will also work dynamically on the day) and you will be allocated a highly experienced and relevant strategist + support person from our team to take notes.
All participants will benefit from a debrief document supplied within a week post session, with the size of the document and inclusions such as audits, marketing calendars and marketing budgets, subject to the package you sign off for.
If you have any questions about which marketing strategy session may suit you and how it may be customised to meet your needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Need ongoing support? Our Marketing Consulting Services could be for you…
If you enjoy your initial marketing strategy session with us, you may like to keep the momentum going by meeting with us on a regular basis for our shorter marketing consult sessions.
These 1 or 2 hour sessions which can be held at whatever intervals work for you (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly are generally what people go for) will help keep you and your team accountable and focussed on the ongoing success of your marketing and business.
Keep Focussed & Accountable
We can use these sessions as a checkpoint to see how the execution of our marketing recommendations from previous strategy sessions are going, to provide advice, training, or even fill the gaps with additional marketing services as needed.
We can help you identify and work through any arising issues, keep you updated on the latest marketing trends, tools and technologies, and help you make plans for future marketing campaigns and activities.
FAQs about our Marketing Strategy Sessions & Consults
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?
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. If you are unsure which package may suit and want to vary inclusions, also simply reach out and we will be more than happy to make adjustments.
When will the session/s be? How far in advance do you work?
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.
Where will the session be?
We offer both in person and online sessions. Our online sessions held on Zoom or Google Meet (generally Zoom) are the most popular as they give both sides more flexibility and we are expert at facilitating sessions online using a range of interactive features (online whiteboarding, text chat, unmute etc.) We can offer sessions at our offices in Wickham, Newcastle & also Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast, and from time to time we will also travel to our client’s workplace or choice of meeting space, however please note additional travel charges will apply (flights or mileage).
How do I prepare for the session? Do I need to send you anything prior?
The short answer is no. We will ask you all the questions we need to extract what we require at the session, and we may also ask you to provide us items post session if the need is identified. If however you feel strongly that you would like us to be across some items prior to the session (within reason) of course you may send it through well in advance of the session so we can distribute it to the necessary team members.

I have never sat through such a worthwhile training session in my entire career. There was so much new content that I hadn’t known about and the excitement created by Yvette to get in and get LinkedIn working for me was FANTASTIC!
Never sat through such a worthwhile training session in my entire career
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.

“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!!!”
James Wallis
I just wanted to say that today was one of the best 4 hours of strategy I have ever spent and so excited and reinvigorated about our digital strategy moving forward. A lot of companies online say they offer ‘strategy support’ but this exceeded my expectations. Please pass on my thanks to Yvette also, she was great. A few of my colleagues are also looking at social strategy right now so I will pass on your details, as I was raving about the session and they are now keen to do their own. Thanks again, and excited for the next steps.

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.
