£2,700, credited in full against any project or retainer booked within three months

This is a structured half-day session led by our Creative Director, Alex Crabtree. It brings your leadership team and board together to test where your brand stands today against where it needs to be to support your equity story and next stage of growth. The exercises are designed to show where your leadership is genuinely aligned and where it isn’t.

What’s included

• A quick pre-workshop survey of employees, so the people outside the room are also heard.
• A review of how the business is currently perceived by customers, the market and investors.
• A facilitated half-day session with your leadership team and board (up to ten stakeholders).
• Identification of where your ambition and current positioning don’t yet match.
• The direction your brand needs to take to support growth, fundraising or a re-rating.

You leave with

• Clear priorities you can act on immediately.
• A written summary with recommendations and next-step options.

If you book any project or retainer with Create Inc. within three months of your workshop, we’ll deduct the full £2,700 from your project total.

3. Board Brand Adviser

From £1,000 per month

Senior thinking at the board table, without hiring a CMO

Many quoted and growing companies don’t have senior marketing leadership. The brand, the strategy and marketing might sit with a manager, be handed to agencies for day-to-day output, or simply not exist as a function. The result is that nobody on the board is asking the bigger questions:

• How are we really perceived by investors, customers and the market?
• Is our positioning clear and differentiated?
• Does our investor story match our strategy?
• Are we visible enough to the people who matter?

Alex Crabtree, Creative Director of Create Inc., acts as an independent adviser to your brand and business, offering the strategic thinking a CMO would bring, without the full-time cost.

What’s included

• One full day on site each month. Alex joins your board meeting, leadership session or strategy day.
• Ongoing access between visits. This covers quick calls, sense-checking decisions and a trusted outside view when you need one.
• Flexible capacity. Scale up to four days per month around fundraises, results, launches or repositioning.

Investment: £1,000 per day, from one to four days per month, invoiced monthly in advance by Create Inc. The minimum term is six months, with two months’ notice.

This is strategic advice, not design or delivery. Where Alex recommends specific work, your existing team, external partners or if you’d prefer, Create Inc. can deliver it.
