Team Building & Mentoring

Most marketing teams don't need a bigger budget. They need someone who's run one before.

Mentoring for a team that's short on senior steer, structured hiring for the first proper marketing role, or training that brings agency-delivered work back in-house: whichever gap is holding you back, closed by someone who's built the function, not just advised on one.

In short //

  • 01

    Mentorship, not oversight

    Working sessions with whoever's running your marketing day to day, so decisions get made with confidence instead of guesswork.

  • 02

    Hire well, once

    A brief that reflects what the role will really carry, so the job description isn't generic and the first ninety days aren't spent finding their feet.

  • 03

    Capability that outlasts the contract

    Agency work handed back to the team in a sequence that holds, with training built around what they'll be running once I'm gone.

What I cover

  • Weekly or fortnightly mentorship for an existing marketing team or a Head of Marketing
  • Hiring briefs and job descriptions that reflect the actual role, not a template
  • Structured onboarding for a new senior marketing hire
  • Moving agency-delivered work in-house, without dropping anything in the handover
  • Channel ownership and reporting the team can run without me
  • A written brief on fixes and priorities, with an owner and a timeframe against each one

What this covers //

“Team building” can mean almost anything, so here's what it means on this page. A marketing team with real talent but no senior steer gets weekly mentorship and a lead who starts making calls with confidence. A business making its first senior marketing hire gets a job description that matches the actual job, and enough structure in the first few months that the hire isn't finding their feet alone. A team relying on an agency for work it could learn to do gets the training and sequencing to bring that work in-house cleanly.

Relevant experience //

  • Dragonfly AI

    A weekly advisory and mentorship session with the Head of Marketing, alongside a written implementation brief: root causes, fixes and who owns each one. The channel decisions that used to wait on me became the team's to make.

  • Mont Rose College

    When January's budget tightened, restructured the plan to bring work in-house, with training built around the processes the team would be running day to day, not a generic course.

Right for you if //

You've got a marketing team that could do more with the right steer, you're about to make your first senior marketing hire and want the brief right, or the agency's doing work your own team should be able to run.
