Marketing Leadership Advisory Board

A private strategic boardroom for Heads of Marketing in scaling businesses

You are no longer “doing marketing.”

You are responsible for growth.

You’re managing a team.

You’re reporting to founders or a board.

You’re expected to drive results, allocate budget, influence decisions and keep everything aligned.

And yet most marketing leaders are promoted for execution, not trained for strategic leadership.

This advisory board exists to close that gap.

Who This Is For

This is designed for:

  • Heads of Marketing in $2M–$20M businesses

  • First-time marketing leaders stepping into strategic responsibility

  • Senior marketing managers building structure from chaos

  • Growth-stage companies where marketing must become disciplined and aligned

You should:

  • Be accountable for marketing performance

  • Influence business direction

  • Manage at least one person (or be about to)

  • Feel the pressure of growth decisions

If you are still purely execution-focused, this is not the right room.

What This Is (and What It Isn’t)

This is not a marketing course.

This is not tactical campaign support.

This is not outsourced thinking.

This is a 12-month strategic advisory board for up to 8 marketing leaders.

A private room where you:

  • Clarify priorities before acting

  • Pressure-test major decisions

  • Learn to manage up effectively

  • Build disciplined systems

  • Develop real leadership confidence

  • Gain perspective from peers operating at a similar level

You leave sharper than you arrived.

The Outcome

By the end of the year, you will:

  • Operate with clarity instead of overwhelm

  • Communicate confidently with founders and boards

  • Build a marketing roadmap aligned to business objectives

  • Make disciplined budget decisions

  • Stop reacting and start leading

  • Structure a team that scales

  • Think like a strategic growth leader — not just a marketer

This is about elevation, not information.

How It Works

1. Monthly Strategy Board (2 hours, live online)

A structured, high-level session with the full advisory group.

Each session includes:

  • 2–3 strategic hot seats

  • A focused leadership theme

  • Peer insight and structured discussion

  • Direct advisory input

This is where clarity is created.

2. Quarterly 1:1 Strategy Calibration

Four private 60-minute sessions per year.

Used for:

  • Sensitive leadership challenges

  • Managing-up conversations

  • Team dynamics

  • Roadmap refinement

  • Career direction

Focused. Direct. Strategic.

3. Optional Monthly Office Hours

Open Q&A for real-time challenges.

Not mandatory.

Available when you need perspective.

4. Private Advisory Channel

Access between sessions for strategic questions.


The Annual Structure

The year is deliberately sequenced.

Quarter 1 — Strategic Clarity

Business alignment, prioritisation, roadmap discipline.

Quarter 2 — Influence & Authority

Managing up, board communication, internal credibility.

Quarter 3 — Team & Systems

Hiring decisions, structure, performance management.

Quarter 4 — Budget & Growth Planning

Resource allocation, trade-offs, next-year planning.

This ensures progression, not random discussion.


Why This Exists

Marketing leadership is one of the loneliest roles in a scaling business.

You are expected to:

  • Deliver growth

  • Align teams

  • Justify budget

  • Translate strategy

  • Handle owner, founder pressure

Often without a senior strategic sounding board.

This room replaces isolation with clarity.

FAQ


Is this suitable for founders?

No. This room is for marketing leaders inside scaling businesses. Founders should explore private strategic advisory instead.

Is this tactical marketing support?

No. We will not be reviewing ad copy, SEO audits or campaign set-ups. This is leadership-level strategic advisory.

What if my company won’t fund it?

Some members self-fund, but it is positioned as leadership development. Many companies recognise its value when framed correctly.

What if I can’t attend every session?

Sessions are recorded. However, live participation is strongly encouraged. The value is in the discussion.

How are members selected?

Application review and short conversation.

This is a curated room.

Quality of discussion matters.

What if I need more 1:1 support?

Additional advisory can be arranged separately at a different tier.

Final Word

At a certain level, growth is not a marketing problem.

It is a clarity problem.

A leadership problem.

A prioritisation problem.

If you are ready to operate at a higher strategic level, this room is for you.
