The three plans in detail

Consilium

You execute

$499/ month

No setup fee

Best fit

Owners and in-house teams who can run campaigns and need sharper intelligence and direction.

What you receive

  • Initial business assessment: services or products, customers, pricing, positioning, website and existing marketing.
  • Ongoing public-source monitoring of three primary competitors.
  • Market and customer intelligence: trends, unmet needs, opportunities.
  • Monthly marketing strategy: priorities, channel and budget guidance, messaging, offers.
  • Four actionable campaign briefs each month (audience, hook, message, direction, implementation).
  • A prioritized 30-day action plan.
  • Monthly review of provided or connected performance data.
  • A continuously maintained private Advantage File: research, sources, decisions, past recommendations and results.
  • Human quality review of material findings and strategic recommendations.

Limits

  • Three primary competitors monitored.
  • Four campaign briefs per month.
  • No managed campaign execution. Consilium is research and actionable direction, not a done-for-you advertising service.

  • No setup fee.
  • Your team executes the campaigns and pays for any advertising or tools it chooses to use.

Indicative first month

What the first month looks like.

An indicative process, not a contractual timeline. Your proposal confirms the actual schedule.

  1. Step 1

    Business assessment: services, customers, pricing, positioning, website and existing marketing. Competitors selected with you.

  2. Step 2

    Baseline research on those competitors. The Advantage File is opened with sourced findings.

  3. Step 3

    Monthly strategy and four campaign briefs, reviewed by a person before delivery.

  4. Step 4

    A prioritized 30-day plan. On Actio and Imperium, approved setup work begins: landing page, lead capture, campaign system.
