Would you like clarity on reaching success?

People often start their own business because they’re really good at what they do. Then they fall into the trap of firefighting and an intense feeling of overwhelm due to a lack of clear strategy. Does this sound familiar?

Working with a professional and strategic marketing consultant can be expensive. We recognise that this is something lots of small businesses and start-ups require, but the cost can be preventative. So with our 90-minute strategy session, you can get a clear marketing strategy, tips and ideas specifically tailored to your needs all for an affordable cost!

This is for you if…

  • You’re clear on where your business is going but overwhelmed with options to get there - this tension is stopping you from moving forward in any direction

  • You might have a business plan buried in a folder you’ve not looked at for a while and wonder why you bothered

  • You don’t have the budget for a full external audit, strategy and marketing plan but see the value in working with an external consultant

  • You’ve got a great new business idea although you lack business development experience and don’t have a formal plan of action

  • You need an entrepreneurial expert to guide you through your next few steps from where you are, to where you want to be

  • You are the founder of a business, charity or NGO with limited funds for consultants but need a sounding board to sense-check your ideas

  • You are great at what you do, but lack business development skills or marketing expertise and need creative ideas to reach the next level

  • Guiding my small ethical business through a transformation, Ipsa has been incredibly helpful, bringing fresh ideas, always ready to find an answer to the most vexing of questions.

  • Cath is supportive, inspiring and extremely knowledgeable. I would strongly recommend her for any small business owners, whichever stage they are at

  • I had a really amazing session with Cath. In just a couple of weeks her advice has gone on to me being a finalist in our local business awards, and featuring in an article in Devon Life magazine! As a brand new startup I had no idea about the options available and opportunities out there. Cath has a wealth of knowledge and resources and made it easy for me to take the next steps in my business!

Challenges that clients have brought to their Strategy Session:

  • "I quit my full time role and the pressure is on to make my consultancy work. Can you help me create a repeatable process to sell spaces on my group programme?"

  • "Our social media is just telling people about our events. What can we do to tszuj it up and make it more appealing to our audience?"

  • "I want to exit my craft business in 5 years. How do I get my business from here, to there, so I can sell it and make a profit?"

  • "My start up has been doing okay but I think I could improve my marketing efforts. Can you help me audit what is and isn't working?"

  • "I'm about to launch my health brand and need to create a marketing strategy that I can run myself"

  • "My son has decided not to take over the family business. I'm too young to retire but I've lost the passion to drive it forward by myself. What are my options?"

  • "I've launched my online store but it's taking a lot longer than I expected for it to grow. What can I do to make a bigger impression in the market?"
