The Problem Isn't Finding a Marketer
It’s creating the conditions for them to succeed.
This 1:1 Marketing Hire Sprint helps you build the foundations before you hire, so you don’t waste time, money and momentum on the wrong outcome.
Why This Marketing Hire Sprint Exists
Most founders think the solution is hiring a marketer.
The solution starts earlier.
Before you hire anyone, you need to understand:
- What marketing should actually achieve for your business
- What type of marketer you need
- How they’ll work with sales, customer success and operations
- What success looks like in the first 30, 60 and 90 days
- What support they’ll need to succeed
Without those foundations, hiring becomes an expensive guessing game.
With them, you can hire with confidence.
That’s exactly what we’ll build together during this sprint.
What We Cover in the Sprint
Business & Marketing Alignment
We connect your commercial goals to realistic marketing objectives. You’ll understand what marketing should be doing based on your model, audience and growth stage.
Role Definition & Skill Requirements
We identify the exact type of marketer your business needs, not a unicorn, not a guess, not a generic “marketing manager.”
Systems, Processes & Collaboration
We establish the workflows that connect marketing with sales, product and CS. Because marketing cannot function effectively in isolation.
Tools, Measurement & Budget
We define what’s necessary (and what isn’t), identify gaps, and create your measurement framework.
Hiring & Onboarding Blueprint
This is where everything comes together. You’ll leave with a complete hiring and onboarding plan, ready to hand to a recruiter or use internally.
Who This 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.
Your Outcomes From the Sprint
By the end of the week, you’ll have:
✔ Absolute clarity on what marketing should achieve
No more vagueness. No more guesswork. You’ll know what matters and why.

No unicorns. No unrealistic expectations. A role that matches your needs.
✔ A ready-to-hire business
With the structure, goals and systems your marketer needs to perform.
✔ A hiring and onboarding blueprint
So you never again hire blind or hope for the best.
✔ Confidence
You’ll finally feel equipped to make this hire the right way.
Why I Created This Sprint
I’ve spent 25 years seeing this from both sides.
As a marketer, I’ve walked into businesses that wanted growth but couldn’t tell me what success looked like.
As a consultant, I’ve helped businesses recover from expensive hiring mistakes that could have been avoided with a little preparation.
This workshop exists because I got tired of watching good marketers fail in businesses that weren’t ready for them.
And I got tired of founders wasting time, money and confidence on a problem that was entirely preventable.
Investment
This Marketing Hire 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 the cost compared to a mis-hire, and removes the risk.
1:1 spaces available.
