    Not sure where to start?

    Start with the business problem, not the marketing service.

    Let's talk about your business

    Questions, answered plainly

    A useful starting point.

    What does a marketing consultant do?

    A consultant brings senior perspective to marketing decisions: understanding the business, setting priorities, choosing appropriate channels and turning the plan into measurable work.

    What is the difference between a consultant and an agency?

    Activ8 offers senior advice and practical delivery without a large agency structure. That means direct access, flexible involvement and recommendations shaped around your commercial context.

    Can Activ8 manage my marketing as well as advise me?

    Yes. Support can include planning and oversight, hands-on implementation, or a blend of both. The scope is agreed around what your business can own internally.

    What is a Fractional Head of Marketing?

    It is experienced marketing leadership provided for an agreed portion of your time and needs, rather than as a full-time senior hire. See the Fractional Head of Marketing service for more detail.
