what i help you with

Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed dates.

No open-ended retainers and no discovery phase you pay for before anyone does any work.

go-to-market

​

Launching a product, entering a new market, or repositioning one that isn't landing. Positioning, channel plan, messaging, launch sequence.

marketing growth & optimisation

 

You're already spending - on ads, content, email, agencies - and can't tell what's working. Audit, diagnosis, and a ranked list of what to fix first.

digital strategy

 

Where to play and how to show up: channels, funnel, measurement, and increasingly how you appear in AI search as buyers shift there.

packages

Every engagement is quoted flat, scoped in writing, and delivered to a date. You'll know what you're getting and what it costs before you commit.

marketing teardown

SG$1,950

Timeline - 1 week

​​

Two areas pulled apart properly.

​

You pick two areas from:

​

- paid channels (up to 3 | past 3 months),

- website and funnel (1),

- email and lifecycle (up to 3 flows), or

- website content and SEO (up to 3 pages).

 

I review those two areas in depth and tell you what's broken, what's working, and what to do about it and in what order.

 

You get

a written teardown of the two areas you chose, a ranked list of the 5 highest-impact actions, and one 30-minute walkthrough call.

 

Not included

implementation, review of areas outside the two selected, ongoing support.

 

Best if

you know something isn't working but not which thing.

go-to-market sprint

SG$6,500

Timeline - 3 weeks

​​

A launch plan specific enough that someone else can execute it.

 

- Positioning statement and ICP definition 1 segment,

- Competitive context,

- A messaging framework for your primary audience,

- Channel recommendation with budget split,

- An 6-week launch calendar.

 

You get

the GTM document, the messaging framework, the channel and budget plan, the launch calendar. Two 60-minute working sessions. One round of revisions.

 

Not included

copywriting beyond the messaging framework, creative production, agency briefing or management, execution of any kind. Additional segments or audiences quoted separately.

 

Best if

you're launching a product, entering a new market, or repositioning one that hasn't landed.

ai visibility audit

SG$2,400

Timeline - 1 week

​​

Your buyers are asking ChatGPT who to hire. Find out what they're being told.

 

A fixed set of buying-intent prompts, run across three AI engines, three times each, covering you and up to three named competitors. Every answer captured verbatim.

 

You get

a scored baseline - how often you appear, how often you're described accurately, how you rank against the competitors named - with the verbatim quotes behind each score, and a prioritised list of what's causing the gaps.

 

Not included

implementation of any kind. That's the package on the right handside.

 

Best if

you suspect you're invisible in AI search, or you're being described wrongly.

fractional marketing lead

SG$3,200

Per month for 2 days

​​

Senior marketing judgement,

2 days a month.

 

Strategy and priorities, campaign direction, and review of the work your team or agencies are producing - plus the calls a founder shouldn't be making alone.

 

Three-month minimum, then month to month with 30 days' notice.

 

You get

a senior marketer inside the business 2 days a month (16 hours per month)- strategy, decisions made, work reviewed, priorities set. Not a document telling you what you should do.

 

How it runs

days are booked one week in advance, subject to availability. Questions between sessions are answered async within two business days.Unused days don't roll over.

 

Not included

execution. I direct the work, review it and make the calls - I don't produce the assets.

 

Best if

you need the judgement of a marketing director without the headcount.

ai visibility blueprint

SG$4,500

Timeline - 2 weeks

​​

The ai visibility audit tells you what's wrong. This fixes it.

 

Structured data markup on up to 3 webpages. Copy rewritten for machine extraction on up to 3 pages, with one revision round.

 

Submission to up to 5 relevant directories.

 

A named list of 10 third-party mention targets with the pitch angle for each.

 

You get

the list of changes (implementation pending which backend you are using), the citation plan, and a re-run of the full audit at day 30 scored against your baseline.

 

Not included

pages beyond those listed, ongoing monitoring, outreach execution to the mention targets. Requires the ai visibility audit first.

 

Best if

you've seen the baseline and want the gap closed.

fractional marketing lead

SG$6,000

Per month for 4 days

​​

Senior marketing judgement,

4 days a month.

 

The same role at the cadence a business without a marketing lead actually needs - enough time to own the plan, not only review it.

 

Three-month minimum, then month to month with 30 days' notice.

 

You get

a senior marketer inside the business 4 days a month (32 hours per month)- the plan owned end to end, work reviewed, priorities set, and decisions made as they come up rather than once a month.

 

How it runs

days are booked one week in advance, subject to availability. Questions between sessions are answered async within two business days.Unused days don't roll over.

 

Not included

execution. I direct the work, review it and make the calls - I don't produce the assets.

 

Best if

you have no marketing lead and need one, without hiring one.

Currencies currently supported: SGD, USD, AUD, CAD, EUR and GBP. More than 20 global payment methods.

how it works

a 15-minute call

Free. You describe the problem, I tell you which package fits - or that none of them do, which happens and is fine.

a written scope

Flat price, named deliverables, delivery dates. You approve it before anything starts. The price doesn't move unless you change the scope in writing.

delivered

Work is delivered to the date agreed. No monthly retainer that quietly renews, no hours you can't account for.
