Focused Projects
Sometimes you don't need ongoing support. You just need a specific problem solved properly by someone who has been in your shoes. Each one is scoped, priced, and delivered as a piece of work in its own right.
Specific problems. Solved properly.
Some founders come to us knowing exactly what they need. The website is out of date. The positioning has drifted. A senior person needs help finding their feet. The work is clear, the scope is clear, and what's needed is someone you can trust, do the job properly, and leave you better off.
Marketing &Â Positioning
Most founders don't have a marketing problem. They have a clarity problem. The work is good. The clients value them. But the words come out sounding like everyone else.These projects help you get underneath that. Start with what your clients actually value. End with messaging that attracts the work you want.
Reworking your value proposition
A short piece of work to clarify what you  do, who it's for, and why it matters. This is critical when your current messaging feels generic, you're struggling to talk about your value, or you feel you should be attracting more clients.
Competitor benchmarking
We review your website against competitors to identify what improvements need to be made. Improvements are ranked by impact, and you'll get anhonest read on whether your website is doing the job you need it to.
Running client interviews
We speak to your clients to uncover what they really value about working with you. You're probably too close to the business to hear the truth, and clients rarely volunteer it. We dig deep, build the rapport that gets honest answers.
Reworking your website and marketing
A practical project to update your marketing assets so they reflect who you are now, not who you were three years ago. We help you bring it back into line with the business you're actually running today and the clients you want the most.
Defining your Ideal Customer Profile
A focused workshop to uncover who needs you the mos, who you best fit, and how to reach them. If your pipeline feels uncertain, or you're attracting clients who aren't quite right, and the team can't agree on who you're really for.
Leadership Support
Most founders promoted their best people into leadership without ever being taught how to lead themselves. They're good at the work but quietly avoid the harder parts. So everything finds its way back to you.
These projects work one to one with the people around you. Not management training. Real support that helps them lead properly, so you stop being the backstop.
One to one leadership mentoring
Working fortnightly or monthly with one of your senior people to help them grow into the harder parts of leadership. Difficult conversations, decision making, inspiring others. Typically scoped as six to twelve sessions.
Attending leadership meetings
Joining your senior team meetings as an outside perspective. Useful when decisions feel stuck, when conversations keep going round in circles, or when you want someone in the room who isn't tangled up in the politics.
Hiring support
Helping you scope the role, write the brief, sit in on interviews, and pressure test your decision before you make the offer. Useful when you've made the wrong hire before, or when you're hiring into a role you've never done yourself.
Team structure review
A focused review of how your team is organised, where the gaps are, and where work is falling between people. You'll get a clear picture of what's working, what isn't, and what to change first.
Onboarding a new senior hire
Working with a new senior person in their first 90 days to help them land properly, build the right relationships, and start taking pressure off you. Reduces of an expensive hire quietly not working out.
"Before working with Damian, I was essentially muddling through with common sense and close to burnout. The real win has been the shift in mindset, moving from doing everything myself to actually managing the business. Already some of the things we've implemented have had an impact on the bottom line."
