// Consultancy & growth packages · project-based · scoped · time-limited
Standalone consultancy packages for businesses that have a specific challenge, a specific project, or a specific goal — and want direct access to 20 years of e-commerce operating experience to solve it. Scoped. Time-limited. Focused entirely on your outcome.
A retainer is right when you need ongoing management and an always-on partner. But some businesses need something different — a concentrated burst of expert input on one specific problem, with a clear deliverable at the end.
Our consultancy packages give you direct access to 20 years of e-commerce operating experience, scoped around your specific situation, delivered in a fixed time frame. You get the same depth of thinking as a retained client — applied to your most pressing challenge, without the ongoing commitment.
Every consultancy engagement begins with a structured discovery session. We ask the right questions before we give any advice — because good advice without the right context is just opinion.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price packages designed around the most common high-value challenges we see in e-commerce businesses. All subject to discovery — we won't take on work we can't genuinely deliver on.
For businesses that need structured momentum on a specific growth challenge — Google Ads architecture, Amazon strategy, margin improvement, or channel launch. Three months of focused, hands-on consultancy with defined milestones and outcomes.
A full-day strategic session — in person or remote — where we go deep on your business, your channels, your margins, and your competitive position. You leave with a clear commercial strategy, a prioritised action plan, and answers to the questions that have been blocking progress.
A comprehensive audit of your Google Ads or Amazon account — not a checklist, a commercial analysis. We identify what is wrong, calculate the financial impact, and deliver a step-by-step blueprint for how to fix it. Ideal as a standalone engagement or as the entry point to a retainer.
Here is exactly what happens inside a 90-Day Growth Sprint — week by week, output by output.
Digital performance — Google Ads, Amazon, email retention — all depend on the commercial infrastructure beneath it. Stock on hand when customers want to buy. The right products in the range. Margin that survives the supply chain. We advise on all of it — because we have operated all of it, not just read about it.
Building a brand on Amazon or DTC without protecting the underlying intellectual property is building on rented ground. We have navigated brand registration, trademark applications, Amazon Brand Registry, and the commercial decisions around brand architecture — and we advise clients on all of it as part of a broader commercial strategy, not as a separate legal project disconnected from the business.
A UK trademark gives you exclusive rights to your brand name in your categories — the foundation for Amazon Brand Registry, marketplace takedowns, and defending against copycats. We guide you through the process end to end.election based on your product range, your channel mix, and your growth plans, and work alongside your legal team or introduce you to a trademark specialist.
Amazon Brand Registry requires a registered trademark — not a pending application, a granted one. Once registered, it gives you control over your product listings (preventing unauthorised sellers from overriding your content), access to A+ content, Sponsored Brands, Amazon Stores, and brand analytics. It also unlocks the ability to report counterfeit listings and hijackers. We manage the Brand Registry application, set up the protections, and advise on how to use the additional tools commercially.
Businesses reaching £1M–£5M often face a decision: continue building one brand across multiple product categories, or split into separate brands for different markets or audiences. The wrong choice creates confusion for customers and dilutes marketing spend. The right choice opens up new channels, new customer segments, and new acquisition strategies. We have built and exited multiple brands and advise on brand architecture decisions based on commercial reality — margin, channel fit, customer psychology, and the operational overhead of running separate brand identities.
Distributors and resellers often reach a point where the margin on branded third-party products is structurally constrained — the brand owner sets the RRP, the margin is fixed, and the only way to compete is on price. Own-brand and private label products break that constraint: you control the pricing, the positioning, and the margin. We advise on the category and product selection for own-brand development, the overseas sourcing process for manufactured products, the brand and packaging requirements, and the Amazon and DTC launch strategy for new own-brand lines.
