  2. Consulting

Work with the person who does it.

SEO first, then the rest of the marketing: strategy, ads, content and PR, email, lead generation and websites. From a marketer who runs the same work inside his own businesses.

ENGAGEMENT TYPES

Four ways to work together.

Different problems need different structures. This is what each one looks like.

1

Consulting call

A focused 60 to 90 minute session to work through a specific problem, pressure-test a decision or get clear direction. You bring the problem, I bring the experience.

Single session, recording and notes included
2

Project-based work

A defined scope with a clear deliverable: a strategy document, an SEO overhaul, a lead-generation build or a sale preparation package. Scoped, priced and delivered.

Fixed scope agreed up front
3

Ongoing advisory

Regular sessions plus ad-hoc access for owners who want consistent strategic input, accountability and a reliable sounding board, with monthly progress reporting against agreed goals.

Minimum three months
4

Partnerships and acquisitions

Buying, selling, investing in or partnering on a business. I work on both sides and can help at the strategy, advisory or execution level.

Strategy to execution
A GOOD FIT

Owners who will act on it

  • You want your website and search to actually bring in work
  • You want one person across SEO, ads, content and email
  • You need leads followed up, and the systems to do it
  • You are preparing to sell, or assessing a business to buy
PROBABLY NOT A FIT

Being upfront saves time

  • Looking for generic motivation or coaching
  • Wanting a plan with no intention of executing it
  • Expecting results without doing the work
  • Pre-revenue startups after free ongoing mentorship
ALSO AVAILABLE

Digital work, done for you.

Websites, automation, custom tools and full digital setups run through Core Creations. Same direct approach, no junior handoffs.

About Core Creations

Not sure which one?

Most people do not arrive with a neat category. Book the intro call and describe the problem. You will leave with at least one useful thing, whether we work together or not.

Or read the guides: consultant or agency, fractional CMO or retainer, and choosing a consultant.

QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

How do I start?

Book a free 15-minute intro call. Tell me what you are working on and I will tell you straight whether I can help and how. If I cannot, I will say so.

Is there a minimum engagement?

A consulting call has no ongoing commitment. Project work is scoped up front with fixed deliverables. Ongoing advisory has a minimum of three months.

Do you do the work, or just advise?

Both. Consulting gives you the plan, the priorities and someone to check the work. If you want websites, automation or SEO done for you, that runs through Core Creations, the agency I founded.

Do you work outside Sydney?

Yes. I am based in Sydney and work with businesses across Australia, by phone or video.

ENQUIRE

No cost and no pitch. A straight conversation about what you need and whether it makes sense to work together.
