Richard Tubb
IT Thought Leader and Business Consultant
What does a Marketing Strategy Consultant do?
A marketing strategy consultant helps businesses develop clear, practical marketing plans that support commercial growth, improve lead generation and strengthen brand positioning.
Do I need a marketing strategy?
If your marketing feels inconsistent, lacks direction or isn't delivering results, a clear strategy can help you focus your investment and improve performance.
Can you work with our existing marketing team?
In many cases, yes. Freelance consultants typically have lower overheads and provide direct access to senior expertise, making them a cost-effective alternative for many businesses.
Can you work alongside our existing team?
es. I regularly collaborate with business owners, marketing teams and external agencies to develop strategies that everyone can work towards.
How long does a marketing strategy project take?
Every project is different, but most strategies are developed over several workshops and planning sessions before moving into implementation.
Do you also help deliver the strategy?
Absolutely. Unlike many consultants, I don't just produce a strategy document. I can also support implementation, campaign planning, content creation and ongoing marketing activity.
Which businesses do you work with?
I work with businesses of all sizes, particularly B2B organisations, technology companies, professional services firms and ambitious SMEs looking to grow.
Can you help us implement the strategy?
Absolutely. While many clients initially engage me as a Marketing Strategy Consultant, I can also provide ongoing support as your Freelance Marketing Consultant, Outsourced Marketing Manager or Fractional Marketing Director, depending on the level of involvement your business requires.
No hard sell—just a straightforward conversation about how I can support you
