Marketing consultant: clear decisions and hands-on help

A marketing consultant who tells you where to put the money and what to stop, then makes sure the decisions happen. I lead the delivery personally, with experts picked for specific tasks.

Need someone experienced to look at your marketing from the outside and tell you plainly what works and what wastes money? As a marketing consultant I start with the numbers: where customers come from, what they cost and where they drop off. Then you get a short list of decisions. When they need doing, I lead the work personally or with a small team of trusted specialists, and you keep one point of contact.

  • A 2 to 3 hour consultation with written notes and next steps
  • An ongoing consultant or a part-time marketing lead
  • Decisions based on your numbers, not on trends

What gets in the way most

  • UrgentNobody knows how many enquiries each channel brings

    Budget grows where the report shows reach, not customers.

    Fix: Track form and phone enquiries in the website analytics.

  • ImproveReferrals arrive on their own, with no support

    The cheapest channel isn't growing.

    Fix: Ask for a referral after each finished job and collect Google reviews.

Next steps

  1. Week 1: tracking for form and phone enquiries.
  2. Week 2: newsletter paused until it can be measured.
  3. Month 1: the agency reports enquiries, not reach.
  4. After 30 days: a short check-in and a budget decision.

Selected work

What clients say

  • „We worked with Vlad on a Next.js project. He knew what he was doing from day one, didn't overcomplicate things and came up with better approaches on his own. I especially value his work on the site's performance. Everything was delivered as agreed.”

    George B. CEO, finance company

  • „We needed to build an MVP fast to test our idea in practice. Vlad helped us choose sensible solutions and focus on what we really needed for launch. We didn't try to build everything at once, yet he made sure the project could grow later without starting from scratch.”

    Alex N. Product Manager at StartupX

  • „Vlad got up to speed with our project quickly and pointed out several problems we hadn't treated as priorities. He sorted out our database and security issues. I liked that he didn't just complete tasks but clearly explained why something was worth changing and what the consequences could be.”

    Michał R. CTO at TechCorp

  • „We had an app where every bigger change was becoming a problem. Vlad helped us clean up the code, rebuild some of the older parts and introduce automated tests. Working on new features is much easier now. I also appreciate his patience in explaining technical topics to people outside the development team.”

    Sara K. Product Owner at WebSolutions

Frequently asked questions

How much does a marketing consultant cost?

I confirm the price after a short call, before you commit to anything.

What is a fractional CMO, and when is it worth it?

A fractional CMO is a marketing lead who works part time. It's worth it when you need a senior person to set direction and hold suppliers to account, but don't have a full-time role's worth of work. You pay for an agreed scope, with no recruiting or employment costs.

I searched for a marketing consultant near me. Do you work remotely?

Yes. I work from Warsaw, Poland, and run consultations by video call with companies in Poland and abroad. You always get the decisions in writing. If you need someone in your office every week, a local consultant is the better fit. Otherwise we schedule calls in hours that overlap with your day.

Consultant, agency or freelancer: which should I choose?

An agency does the work within its own scope, and a freelancer usually covers one channel. A consultant looks at the whole picture and tells you what makes sense. With me you can also hand over delivery: I lead it personally, and for specific tasks I bring in a small team of specialists picked for the job. I stay accountable for the whole thing and I'm your single point of contact.

Will you put your advice into practice?

Yes, if you want. Website fixes, enquiry tracking, Google campaigns and SEO I can take on. You can also hand the notes to your team or agency: they're written so they can be put into practice without me.

Will you work with our agency or in-house marketer?

Yes, that's common. I agree goals and how results are counted, review their plans and reports, and you get an independent view of whether the money is going in the right direction.

Do you guarantee results?

No. Nobody honest can promise a number of customers or sales, because your market, offer and budget matter too. I promise an honest assessment, clear priorities and tracking that shows whether the decisions work.

Is there a long contract?

No. A consultation is a one-off job. Ongoing work is month to month, with a notice period we agree up front.

I usually reply within 2 hours.
