# Marketing Agency for Consulting Firms

> A marketing agency for consulting firms builds positioning, brand and thought-leadership marketing tailored to the reputation-driven sales cycles of consulting. UK projects run £25k–£100k for brand + website builds.

Consulting is sold on credibility. Brand, content and reputation are the marketing channels that matter — paid and outbound rarely move the needle for consulting firms above £1m revenue. We help boutique and strategic consultancies build the kind of brand that wins category-level credibility.

## Sector challenges

- **Founder-dependent business development** — Most consulting firms grow at the speed of the founder's network. Marketing has to build a brand that wins business beyond the founder's relationships.
- **Generic positioning** — Most consulting brands say 'we help businesses grow'. The strongest say something very specific that filters out 90% of the market — and converts the remaining 10% at a high rate.
- **Thin proof** — Consultancies often can't show client case studies due to confidentiality. Proof has to come through frameworks, opinion and earned media instead.
- **Brand that signals senior fees** — If your brand looks junior, you'll be priced as junior. Brand directly anchors fee positioning in consulting.

## Our approach

- **Founder-led thought leadership** — We build founder profiles into recognised category voices through structured publishing on LinkedIn, podcasts and longform.
- **Frameworks as brand assets** — Proprietary frameworks, methodologies and named processes that prospects can cite. The intellectual property is the marketing.
- **Premium brand systems** — Visual identity, typography and tone of voice calibrated to anchor senior fee positioning.
- **Confidential case story formats** — Anonymised, sector-typed case stories that prove capability without breaching confidentiality.

## FAQs

### Do you work with boutique consulting firms?
Yes — most of our consulting clients are boutiques with 5–50 people, founder-led. We're not the right fit for global consulting groups.

### How do we measure marketing ROI for consulting?
Inbound conversations, average deal value, founder-network independence ratio, and brand-attributable revenue. Pipeline metrics matter less than for product businesses.

### What's the right marketing investment?
Boutique consultancies typically invest 5–10% of revenue in marketing during growth phases. Higher for category-defining firms building thought leadership.

### Can you do PR alongside content?
We work with PR partners or your existing PR firm. PR amplification of content is high-leverage for consulting.
