WORK WITH ME
Three shapes of engagement. Each starts with a 30-minute intro call.
Most clients come through referral or because something on this site answered the question they were carrying. The fastest way to find out if the work fits is a short call: bring the messy version of the problem, not a polished brief.
A focused engagement to answer one big question: a stack audit, a measurement framework, a vendor recommendation, or a roadmap. Output is a written brief and a readout, not a 90-slide deck. Best fit when there is a decision pending and the team needs a senior outside read on it.
A full implementation engagement: CDP, tracking, lifecycle, or MarTech rebuild. Discovery to handover with the in-house team. The team owns the system at the end, not me. Best fit when the work is real and someone senior needs to drive it across data, marketing, and engineering.
A standing seat at the table for a leadership team without an in-house MarTech leader. A few days a month of strategy, vendor reviews, hiring input, and on-call advice. Best fit for mid-market brands and growth-stage SaaS who need a senior voice without a full-time hire.
Saying no early saves both sides time. These are the engagements that get a referral instead of a proposal.
A short call. You describe the situation, I ask the questions that surface what is actually being asked. No deck.
A short written brief: problem, scope, deliverables, exclusions, and the questions that still need answers. Sent shortly after the intro call.
Scope and commercial terms shaped against your specific situation. Standard MSA, NDA on request.
Stakeholder map agreed up front, weekly working session, async updates between. No surprises mid-engagement.
Mostly remote, with onsite for kickoff, mid-engagement working sessions, and any moment where being in a room with the team unblocks a decision. Bologna-based, comfortable across European time zones.
Yes, mutual NDA on request before the scoping conversation. The scoping doc and proposal are covered by it.
Yes, often. Strongest fit is when the agency owns delivery and I sit on the data, MarTech, or measurement layer as a senior counterpart. Less good fit when the lines of ownership are not agreed in advance.
Client names listed on this site are mentioned with permission. In conversation, scope and approach are shareable, but specifics on data, results, and internal politics stay with the client unless we have explicit go-ahead.
Yes, but with a hard cap on active hours per week so each engagement gets its committed time. Implementation leads usually run as a single primary engagement plus one or two advisory retainers.
Both surface through discovery, not a price list. The intro call frames the problem; a written scoping doc captures what success looks like; the proposal lays out scope, deliverables, and commercial terms against your specific situation. Every engagement is shaped by team size, business model, data sources, and tooling, so there is no useful generic answer in advance.
A 30-minute call to understand the situation, the question driving the engagement, who else is involved, and what good looks like for you. No deck, no formal pitch. The goal is mutual clarity on whether the work fits, not a sale.
Send a short message about what you are working on. I'll come back with whether it's a fit and what a useful first conversation looks like.
