Strategic Advisory Retainer

Senior campaign counsel without the day-to-day — your expert in the room when it matters.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Labels, managers, and artist teams who have marketing staff but want senior strategic oversight. You’re not after someone to execute — you want expert guidance on positioning, timing, and the decisions that actually move the needle.

This isn’t a one-off consultation. It’s an ongoing partnership with a 3-month minimum — because real strategic impact takes time, and I won’t pretend otherwise.

If you just need a one-time audit or a campaign plan, start there. The Retainer is for teams who want a trusted strategic voice on call.

WHAT YOU GET

2–3 scheduled strategy calls per month (60–90 minutes each) — focused on big-picture decisions, troubleshooting, and unlocking new opportunities
Email/WhatsApp access between calls for quick questions, sense-checks, or urgent advice
Monthly strategic memo — written summary of key recommendations, priorities, and next steps to keep your team aligned
35+ years of music industry experience applied to your biggest challenges: artist development, campaign planning, budget optimisation, positioning, and crisis management
3-month minimum commitment for continuity and real impact

HOW IT WORKS

Onboarding & goal alignment — Initial call to clarify your objectives, current challenges, and team structure. We define focus areas and set clear expectations for how we work together.
Ongoing senior counsel — 2–3 scheduled strategy calls per month, focused on the decisions that matter. No day-to-day execution — this is pure strategic input and honest feedback.
Always-on support — Email/WhatsApp access between calls. Real-world insight when you need it, not just at scheduled intervals.
Monthly strategic memo — Written summary of key recommendations, priorities for the coming month, and clear action steps to keep your team moving.
Review & extension — At the end of month 3, we review progress and decide whether to continue, adapt the focus, or wrap up. No automatic lock-in.

PROOF

35+ years across major labels, production, and independent releases. I’ve been the strategic voice in the room for campaigns at every level. The monthly memo format comes from years of trying to make strategic thinking stick beyond the call.
