Hire Me for a Day

One day. One clear priority. Proper progress.

Some marketing challenges need more than an hour, but they do not need a lengthy consultancy project.

For £650, you can book a focused day of senior marketing support, shaped around one clearly agreed priority.

We can work together virtually throughout the day, making decisions and developing the work as we go. Or you can give me a defined brief and let me get on with a concentrated deep dive.

Marketing is not magic, and neither am I. I cannot rebuild your entire website, unravel years of marketing activity, fix your SEO and transform your sales before 4.30pm.

What I can do is bring more than 20 years of marketing experience, alongside 10 years of running my own retail and eCommerce business, to one important piece of work. Used properly, the day can remove weeks of indecision, create clarity and get something meaningful moving.

Two ways to use your day

A collaborative working day

We work through the challenge together.

This is ideal when you need to make decisions, develop ideas or work through a problem with an experienced marketing partner beside you.

We will not spend seven continuous hours staring at one another on Zoom. Nobody needs that.

Instead, the day will be structured around:

• focused working sessions together
• time for me to review, write or organise independently
• check-ins at agreed points
• decisions and feedback as the work develops
• a clear summary of what happens next

You might use a collaborative day to:

• clarify your marketing priorities
• work through your positioning or offer
• restructure your website
• improve your messaging
• develop a focused 90-day marketing plan
• plan a launch or campaign
• review your Shopify customer journey
• decide what to stop, start or change

This format works particularly well when the founder needs to be closely involved in the decisions but would benefit from experienced structure, challenge and momentum.

An independent deep-dive day

You provide the brief. I give it my undivided attention.

Perhaps you do not need to be involved throughout the day. You need someone experienced to take a defined piece of work away, look at it properly and give you clear, useful output.

We will agree the scope and intended outcome in advance. I will then spend the day concentrating on that work, with check-ins where decisions or clarification are needed.

A deep-dive day could include:

• reviewing and restructuring the key pages of your website
• creating a clearer website content hierarchy
• reviewing a defined Shopify customer journey
• identifying conversion and trust opportunities
• developing a focused SEO and content roadmap
• creating a 90-day marketing plan around one commercial objective
• refining your audience, offer or positioning
• planning a launch, campaign or seasonal promotion
• reviewing one defined area of your existing marketing

The last point is deliberately specific.

Reviewing one channel, campaign or clearly defined period may be realistic. Reviewing every piece of marketing activity from the past three years is a larger consultancy project wearing a day-rate hat.

The exact scope and deliverable will always be agreed before you book.

Button: Ask About a Deep-Dive Day

What could we achieve in a day?

A focused day could help you turn:

• a muddled website into a clear page structure and messaging plan
• a long list of marketing ideas into a realistic 90-day plan
• an underperforming Shopify journey into a prioritised improvement list
• a vague offer into clearer positioning and customer messaging
• scattered SEO activity into a practical content roadmap
• an approaching launch into a structured campaign plan
• a problem you have been circling for months into a decision

Some days will produce a finished document, structure or plan.

Others will produce clear decisions, recommendations and substantial progress on a piece of work that needs further implementation.

We will agree what a successful day looks like before it begins, so neither of us arrives with a different idea of what should have been achieved by 4.30pm.

What is included?

Your £650 day includes:

Before the day

• a short preparation questionnaire
• a 30-minute planning call
• review of the relevant existing materials
• agreement on one priority
• a clearly defined intended outcome
• a plan for how we will use the time

During the day

• focused support from 9.30am to 4.30pm
• a 30-minute break
• collaborative sessions or independent deep-dive work
• agreed check-ins and decision points
• strategic thinking and practical work
• direct access to me throughout the agreed day

After the day

• the agreed work or output
• a short written summary
• a prioritised list of actions and next steps

Relevant information and materials will need to be supplied in time for me to review them properly. The preparation deadline will be confirmed when the date is booked.

One day means one main priority

You may have several connected questions or tasks within the day. That is completely reasonable.

What does not work is trying to combine a website review, full SEO strategy, three months of social content, a new email sequence, a Shopify overhaul and a quick look at your LinkedIn profile because “there might be time”.

There will not be time.

The value comes from giving one important area proper attention, rather than skimming the surface of ten unrelated things.

Before accepting the booking, I will help you decide whether your proposed outcome is realistic. When it is too large for one day, I will say so and recommend a more suitable scope.

What this service is not

A day with me is not designed to cover:

• building a complete website or Shopify store
• writing an entire multi-page website
• delivering a full rebrand
• fixing extensive technical development problems
• creating several months of finished content
• conducting an unrestricted review of all historic marketing activity
• completing a long list of unrelated jobs
• guaranteeing instant traffic, rankings or sales

We can make significant progress on a properly scoped piece of work.

We cannot compress a six-week project into one day simply by typing more quickly.

Marketing results also take time. I will help you make stronger decisions and improve the work, but I will not make unrealistic promises about what will happen to your rankings, traffic or sales the following morning.

Is a day with me right for you?

This service is a good fit when:

• you run a small founder-led business
• you work in retail, eCommerce or a related sector
• you have one important issue or project that needs attention
• you want experienced, commercially grounded input
• you are ready to make decisions
• you can provide the information and access needed
• you want concentrated progress without committing to ongoing consultancy

It may not be the best fit when:

• you are still unsure what the problem is
• you need a quick answer to one specific question
• the project requires several weeks of delivery
• you want to hand over an undefined collection of tasks
• several people need to approve every small decision
• you are looking for guaranteed overnight results

When the issue is smaller, a Marketing Power Hour may be enough.

When the work is larger or needs ongoing implementation, I may recommend Ongoing Marketing Support or a separately scoped project instead.

How it works

1. Send an enquiry

Tell me about your business, the issue you want to work on and what you would ideally like to have achieved by the end of the day.

You do not need to arrive with a perfectly written brief. We can shape the focus together.

2. We agree the scope

I will review your enquiry and confirm whether the work is suitable for a single day.

We will agree:

• the main priority
• the intended outcome
• whether the day will be collaborative or a deep dive
• what information or access I need
• what will and will not be included

3. You secure the date

Once the scope has been agreed, full payment of £650 secures your booking.

Cancellation and rescheduling terms will be provided before payment.

4. We prepare properly

You will complete a short questionnaire and send the relevant materials.

We will then have a 30-minute planning call to finalise the focus and structure of the day.

5. We get to work

Your day runs from 9.30am to 4.30pm, including a 30-minute break.

Depending on the format, we will work together at agreed points or I will focus independently, checking in whenever decisions are required.

6. You receive your next steps

After the day, I will send the agreed output along with a short summary and prioritised action list.

You will know what has been completed, what still needs to happen and what to focus on next.

Virtual or in person

Most days are delivered virtually, which means I can work with founders and businesses throughout the UK.

Virtual delivery also allows us to move easily between discussions, documents, websites, analytics and practical work without losing time to travel.

In-person days may be available by arrangement. Travel time, travel costs and any required accommodation will be quoted separately.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to spend the whole day on Zoom?

No.

For a collaborative day, we will use a mixture of working sessions, independent work and planned check-ins. You will need to be available at agreed points, but you will not be expected to sit on a continuous video call from 9.30am to 4.30pm.

For a deep-dive day, I may only need you at the beginning, end and at specific decision points.

Can I book the day and decide what to work on afterwards?

No. The priority and intended outcome need to be agreed before payment.

Proper preparation is what makes the day valuable. Starting at 9.30am with “So, what shall we look at?” would waste both your time and mine.

Can we work on several things?

We can cover connected tasks within one defined area.

For example, reviewing your homepage structure, messaging and calls to action could form one coherent brief.

Reviewing your homepage, planning an event, writing a newsletter, fixing your product feed and discussing your Christmas social media is not one coherent brief.

Can the day be split into two half-days?

No. The service is designed around one concentrated day, with preparation and momentum built around it.

When several shorter sessions would genuinely be more useful, I will recommend a different type of support.

What happens when the work is too large for one day?

I will tell you before you book.

We may reduce the scope to the most valuable first stage, or I may recommend a separately quoted project or ongoing support.

Will everything be finished by the end of the day?

That depends on the agreed brief.

Some days result in a completed plan, review, structure or document. Other projects require further implementation after the day.

The intended deliverable will be agreed in advance, so you will know exactly what the day is designed to produce.

Can you make changes directly to my website or Shopify store?

Potentially, where that is part of the agreed brief and appropriate access can be provided.

This will be discussed before booking. Technical development or extensive site changes may require a developer or a larger project.

Can I book an in-person day?

Yes, subject to location and availability.

In-person days are quoted with any additional travel time, travel costs or accommodation clearly set out.

Ready to give one important thing your full attention?

Tell me what has been sitting on your list, what is getting in the way and what you would like to have achieved.

I will let you know whether a day together is the right format and help you shape a realistic, useful outcome.
