Marketing that means something
For founders in their mid-shift moment who need solid marketing direction.
The website, sales conversations and pitch deck all telling slightly different versions of you and the business.
You can feel the gap. You just can't quite name it.
That's where I come in. I read the gap. Then we close it together, at the depth you choose. We get clarity on what you stand for, who you're really for, and what draws the right people in. Then we translate that into intentional marketing that connects.
Because connection drives everything.
The Read
£2,500 - A diagnostic for founder-led businesses mid-shift.
When the work you do has moved on but the marketing hasn't caught up.
You've been meaning to fix the website for months. You can feel the gap, you just can't quite name it.
The Read is a one-to-two-week diagnostic. We get under the skin of what you stand for, who you're really for, what's working and what isn't. Then we translate it into one clear story you can run with.
You leave with clarity on your messaging, audience and priorities. You'll have the confidence to move forwards, because you understand the why behind every decision, not just the what.
What's included:
- 90-minute discovery session
- A forensic read of your marketing, website, sales conversations and pitches
- A light competitor scan
- The Diagnosis pack:
- Values, throughline (the one sentence that captures what your business actually is), and founder profile
- Pillars and messaging matrix (in-depth ICP positioning)
- Positioning and competitive read
- 90-minute playback session to talk talk through the read, end-to-end
- One-page action map — what to fix, in order
- 30-day momentum call — a check-in to keep the work moving
If you go deeper into the partnership within 30 days, the £2,500 credits in full.
Marketing Translation Partnership
From £3,500/month — A strategic marketing brain on tap, every month.
For founders who are quietly tired of being the only one holding the strategic shape of the business.
The team can feel something drifting. So can you. You're unsure about hiring a CMO but you need another strategic brain for the business. Someone who can tell you what's drifting before you have to be the first one to say it out loud.
If you haven't already done The Read, we start there. So we begin from shared clarity, not from scratch.
What's included:
- Monthly strategy session
- A strategic brain on tap between sessions, for the live decisions
- Direction on messaging, positioning and priorities as the business evolves
- Quarterly planning and recalibration
- Approximately 20 hours of strategic support per month

What people are saying
"Laura carried out a wonderful holistic business audit for me at a time when I was feeling overwhelmed with my messaging, my erratic posting on socials and how I was spending time on my business. Following on from this she produced a comprehensive marketing strategy that I often refer back to. I can't tell you how helpful this tool is as a north star to keep me moving forward and clear on my mission. Laura is a great listener and seeks to understand her clients' values and how business weaves into life and vice versa. Her recommendations were entirely bespoke to me.
I no longer feel like my marketing is a hope and pray strategy."
