Why this exists. In 2026, a stranger has twenty seconds to work out what you do. An AI has one prompt. If neither can, you are being filtered out of the room and the shortlist before anyone has named you. The Diagnosis is a free, ten-minute mirror that tells you where your brand reads as yours, and where it reads asborrowed.
What you get. A Visibility Score, a personal video from Marcus on the one gap to close first, and the Messaging Toolkit to start fixing it.
Who it is for. Founders, leaders and operators who suspect their story is leaking value butcannot yet name where.
Why this exists. Most positioning problems are sitting somewhere in the language a business has been writing about itself for years. The Toolkit gives you the same questions we ask in the room, with worked examples and a structure to follow on your own.
What you get. A practical, self-serve workbook for the language pieces you can rebuild without us.
Who it is for. Founders who want to do the work themselves, on their own time.
Why this exists. The thinking changes as the market changes. Oncea month, we publish the long-form behind what we are learning in the room - thepatterns, the moves, the mistakes.
What you get. A monthly read on positioning, messaging and thework that sits underneath both. Free. Unsubscribe whenever.
Who it is for. Anyone wrestling with the work of building a business that does not blend in.
Why this exists. Sometimes a single conversation with the rightoutside eye unlocks a question you have been circling for weeks. No formal scope. No deliverable beyond clarity.
What you get. One hour in the room, in person or on video, on whatever is sitting on your desk. A pitch. A positioning question. A pieceof copy. A moment of doubt.
Who it is for. Founders who need a fast, sharp outside read on something specific.
Why this exists. . For founders who need more than an hour but do not yet need the whole audit. A focused sit-down on the specific thing that is rattling around your homepage, your deck, your pitch, your offer, your launch. We do not fix it. We give you the read you cannot get from inside the building.
What you get. One hour in the room, followed by a written perspective document what we saw, where the language is leaking value, and the three sequenced moves you should make next.
Who it is for. Founders with a single high-stakes asset or question and a need for clarity inside a week.
Why this exists. When the question is bigger than a single asset,the whole story, the positioning, the way the business is reading to themarket. The Audit is the check before any significant spend on a website, are brand or a campaign.
What you get. Two days. One founder-to-founder session. A 48-hour written diagnosis. A 30-day action plan, sequenced. A custom AI prompt trained on your new positioning and your voice.
Who it is for. Founders and leaders about to commit to a meaningful brand spend who want to know the story underneath it is right first.
Why this exists. For founders who want Marcus in the room overtime, not just for a session. Embedded outside perspective on an ongoing basis -through a launch, a fundraise, a market shift, or a strategic rebuild.
What you get. A monthly retainer with defined access, calibrated to your moment. Not a fractional CMO. Not a placeholder for a hire.A strategic outside read available when you need it, and out of the way when you do not.
Who it is for. Founders and leadership teams in extendedperiods of change who want a strategist they can pull into the room on demand.
Why this exists. The strategic core. For businesses where the story has never been quite right, or right once and no longer is. We find the positioning, sharpen the message, build the language system, and hand you a foundation everything else can run on. Sometimes a single conversation with the right outside eye unlocks a question you have been circling for weeks. No formal scope. No deliverable beyond clarity.
What you get. Positioning strategy. Brand strategy. Messaging architecture. Voice and copy system. Delivered as a written strategic document you can run your business on, with the founders in the room throughout.
Who it is for. Companies at a juncture - raising, scaling, pivoting, entering a new market, who need the underlying story right before anything else gets built on top of it.
Why this exists. When the foundation is right but the brand expression is not. Visual identity, design system, and full brand ecosystem - built on top of a strategic foundation, never around it.
What you get. A complete identity system. Logo, type, palette, photography direction, motion principles, design templates, brand guidelines. Calibrated to scale across every market and surface.
Who it is for. Companies with a strategic foundation already inplace who need a brand expression that finally matches the calibre of the work.
Why this exists. When everything needs rebuilding from the ground up, in the right order. Strategy, brand, design and website delivered together. One team, founder to founder, no handovers.
What you get. The Foundation Work. The Brand Build. A full Webflow website built to carry it all, including UX, UI, copy, motion and launch surface. The complete launch platform for a business stepping into the category it actually owns.
Who it is for. Founders and leadership teams at a category-defining moment - a relaunch, a major raise, a market expansion, or a full rebrand - where the brand needs to land as one coherent system.
