Build the Marketing Foundation Your New Hire Needs to Succeed.
This Sprint Prevents Hiring Mistakes, Not Teaches Tactics
Because knowing how a marketer works means nothing without the environment for them to succeed.
A practical, intensive Marketing Hire Strategy Sprint for founders preparing to hire their first marketer, giving you the clarity, structure and systems that prevent mis-hires and wasted money.
If you hire a marketer before your business is ready, you’re setting them up to fail.
This Marketing Hire Strategy Sprint ensures you’re ready.
Next Marketing Hire Strategy Sprint starts 12 January 2026
Why This Marketing Hire Strategy Sprint Exists
Most founders try to fix marketing by hiring someone.
But without a proper foundation in place, even the strongest marketer will struggle, and the business ends up believing “marketing just doesn’t work for us.”
The Marketing Hire Strategy Sprint solves the root problem:
Your business needs structure, clarity and alignment long before a marketer walks through the door.
You’ll leave knowing:
- Exactly what marketing should achieve for your business
- How marketing integrates with sales, product and CS
- What role you are actually hiring for
- What good performance looks like
- What resources, systems and workflows are essential
- How to onboard your new hire successfully
- How to avoid the most expensive mistake founders make: hiring blind
Who This Marketing Hire Strategy Sprint Is For
This is for you if:
- You’re about to hire your first marketer (or thinking about it)
- You want to avoid wasting time and money
- You feel unsure what kind of marketer you actually need
- You’ve tried hiring before, and it didn’t work out
- Marketing feels vague, chaotic or unmeasurable
- You want clarity, confidence and structure before investing in a hire
- You want a marketing function that supports sustainable growth
This is not for you if you’re looking for quick hacks, fluffy strategy decks or a “magic bullet.”
This is the work that actually prevents failure.
Why You Can’t Leave This to a Recruitment Agency
Recruiters are brilliant at finding candidates.
But it isn’t their job to:
- Define your marketing objectives
- Assess whether your business is ready for a marketer
- Identify the exact skill profile you need
- Align your departments
- Build your workflows
- Set your KPIs
- Map out onboarding
- Establish how performance will be measured
Recruiters fill roles.
I prepare your business to make the role successful.
This is why I partner with agencies, not compete with them.
They place the person.
I make sure the person can thrive.

A Note on Tone & Approach
I’m not here to impress you with jargon.
I’m here to help you build something that works.
My style is:
- Clear
- Direct
- Practical
- Collaborative
- Human
I draw on 25 years of experience, work across five countries, and a deep belief that diverse thinking, good systems, and honest communication build strong teams, in life and in business.
I don’t hand you a deck and disappear.
We do this together.
We build it properly.
Investment
This Marketing Hire Strategy Sprint prevents the single most expensive mistake founders make:
The wrong marketing hire.
A mis-hire costs far more than salary.
It costs time, momentum, revenue, team confidence and opportunity.
The Sprint is a fraction of that cost, and it removes the risk entirely.
Places in the Sprint are limited, so you receive personal attention.
