Marketing consultant in Ireland for a plan you can act on.

Most owners we talk to are doing plenty of marketing. Posts go out, ads run, a newsletter goes once a quarter. The problem is that nobody can say which of it works, so budget is spread thin across everything.

A good marketing consultant cuts that back to what matters:

• Where your best customers actually come from, measured rather than guessed.
• What one customer is worth, so you know what you can afford to spend to win one.
• The two or three channels that should get the budget, and the ones to stop.
• What to automate, so the plan doesn’t depend on someone remembering.

The Marketing Strategy Sprint: €2,450, two weeks. For businesses that need a clear plan. We audit your marketing, tracking and follow-up, interview you and two or three customers, review your competitors and costs, and deliver a 90-day plan with budgets and targets. You can run it yourself or with us.

The 2-Week AI Readiness Assessment: €1,950, two weeks. For businesses that know AI could save time but don’t know where to start. We map your processes and find the tasks AI and automation can take over, then cost and rank them. It comes with our worth-it guarantee: if we don’t find automations worth at least 10 hours a week or €25,000 a year, you get a full refund. Read more about our AI consulting.

Fractional CMO Partnership: from €2,950/month. Senior marketing leadership, two days a month (€2,950/month) or four (€5,450/month). We set the strategy, manage budgets, agencies and freelancers, and report to you monthly.

Every engagement ends with things you can use:

1. A written plan: what to do, in what order, who does it, what it costs and what it should return.
2. A 90-day action list: week by week, with owners and deadlines.
3. A measurement plan: what to track and how, so you’ll know in 90 days whether it worked.
4. A recorded walk-through, so your team can watch it when they need to.
5. One follow-up call 30 days later to check progress and adjust.

Many marketing consultants specialise in one channel. We look at the whole path from first search to booked call, because most of the waste sits between channels. Depending on what your plan needs, it can include:

• Search: as your search engine marketing consultant, we work out where your SEO optimisation services money should go, and what results are realistic in 90 days.
• Paid media: whether you need a Google Ads agency or whether your budget is better spent elsewhere.
• Lead flow: what a lead gen agency would cost you against building it in-house.
• Systems: which CRM software Ireland teams like yours use, and whether you need a HubSpot consultant or can set it up yourself.
• Automation: what to automate first, from instant replies to reporting. We deliver marketing automation in Dublin and nationwide.

We’re also online marketing consultants for businesses that sell mainly online: ecommerce, booking-led services and subscriptions.

You’ll work directly with James Lewis, the founder of Automate Marketing.

No account managers and no hand-offs. The person who runs your strategy sprint is the person who writes the plan and presents it to you.

Consulting works best when:

• you have a business with customers and some marketing already running;
• one new customer is worth €500 or more;
• someone in the business can own the plan afterwards, or you’re open to us delivering it.

It’s not the right fit if you need a brand identity or logo designed from scratch. Branding consultants and design studios do that better. We’ll happily recommend one.
