Frequently
Asked Questions
Before you book, you probably have questions. Good. Here are the ones I get asked the most.
-
Simple. Consulting is for leaders who want a senior brain to diagnose what's broken, tighten the strategy, and guide what needs to happen next — but have a team or the capacity to execute it themselves. Done-for-You is for founders and CEOs who want the whole thing handled. I build it, run it, and manage it. You approve the month ahead in about an hour and stay focused on your business.
-
It's a free 30-minute conversation — no pitch, no pressure. You bring the messy reality: scattered messaging, stalled pipeline, a team that's busy but not producing results. I bring an honest assessment of what I'm seeing and where the biggest opportunities are. If there's a fit, we talk about next steps. If there isn't, I'll tell you that too and point you in the right direction.
-
For Done-for-You: about one hour a month. You review and approve the upcoming month's content and share any new ideas or priorities. That's it. For consulting engagements, it varies by scope — but I work hard to keep your time commitment realistic. You hired me so you could get time back, not spend more of it in meetings.
-
Service businesses with real revenue and real growth goals — typically founders, CEOs, or marketing leaders at companies doing $500K or more. My background is B2B, but I work across professional services, consulting, tech, and other service-based businesses. If you're pre-revenue or just getting started, the Done-for-You model probably isn't the right fit yet — but the Advisory Session is still worth having.
-
No. I'm Toronto-based, but I work with clients remotely across Canada and beyond. Most of my work happens asynchronously, which is part of why it scales well for busy founders.
-
It means AI is the accelerator, not the strategy. Before I touch any AI tool, I tighten the fundamentals: your positioning, messaging, offer clarity, and priorities. Once that foundation is solid, I use AI to move faster — content production, SEO, workflow automation, and more. AI on a broken foundation just produces more of the wrong stuff, faster. I make sure that doesn't happen.
-
Agencies come with overhead, account managers, and junior staff doing most of the work. I know because I ran one. When you work with me, you get 15+ years of senior B2B marketing thinking applied directly to your business — no layers, no handoffs. I'm accountable for the outcome, not just the output.
-
It depends on the starting point, but most clients see meaningful momentum within the first 30 to 60 days — clearer messaging, more consistent content, and a marketing rhythm that doesn't fall apart the minute something else comes up. By month three, there's data. I know what's working, what isn't, and where to double down.
-
Nothing polished. In fact, the messier your current situation, the more I can help. Bring whatever you have — old decks, a website you're not happy with, a vague sense that your messaging is off. The Advisory Session is designed to make sense of exactly that.
-
Start with the free Advisory Session. I'll ask the right questions, get a clear picture of where you are, and tell you honestly which option makes the most sense — or whether neither does. No obligation either way.
-
No. That's the point. You don't need to know how the tools work — you need to know your business and your clients. I handle the AI side: which tools to use, how to use them, and how to make sure the output actually sounds like you. Most clients never touch an AI tool themselves. They just see the results.
-
Probably not — and expecting that is what makes most service businesses give up on social too early. For a service business, social media is a credibility channel, not a direct lead-gen channel. When a referral checks you out before responding to your pitch, they look you up on LinkedIn or Instagram. What they find either confirms you're the right call or kills the deal. Direct leads from social happen, but they're a byproduct of consistent visibility, not the primary goal. Businesses that try to sell in every post are the ones nobody follows.
-
A freelancer executes tasks. Done-for-you marketing is a system — strategy, content, publishing, and optimization running together, consistently. With a freelancer, you're still the project manager. With a done-for-you program, you're not managing anything. I own the outcome, build the workflow, and keep it running. The difference shows up most clearly three months in, when a freelancer engagement has stalled and a done-for-you program is just getting sharper.
-
Yes — and it works especially well. AI-assisted marketing lets a local service business produce the content volume and consistency that used to require a full in-house team. For Toronto-based businesses, that means showing up consistently on LinkedIn, ranking in local Google searches, and getting cited by AI tools when someone searches for your service in the city. The strategy is local. The execution is AI-assisted. The results are the same as what a much larger team used to produce.
