What does a marketing consulting engagement look like?

Typically: Phase 1 — Audit & Discovery (2 weeks): deep-dive into current marketing, analytics, competitors, and customer research. Phase 2 — Strategy Development (2-3 weeks): comprehensive marketing strategy with channel mix, budget allocation, KPI framework, and 90-day execution plan. Phase 3 — Implementation Support (ongoing): advisory during execution, monthly reviews, and strategic pivots. Deliverables include a 40-60 page strategy document, channel-specific playbooks, and measurement framework.

How is consulting different from agency services?

Consulting = strategy and guidance. Agency = execution. A consultant tells you WHAT to do and WHY. An agency DOES it. At EmproIT, we offer both — strategic consulting for companies with in-house teams who need direction, and full-service execution for those who need hands-on-keyboard work. Many clients start with consulting (to build strategy) and then add execution services for specific channels they can't handle in-house.

Who should hire a marketing consultant?

Startups planning their first marketing strategy. Growing companies that have outgrown their current approach. Businesses spending on marketing but unsure of ROI. Companies launching new products or entering new markets. Businesses with in-house teams that need strategic direction. Organizations considering a major rebrand or digital transformation. CEOs/founders who are 'doing everything' and need to systematize marketing.

Can you train our in-house team?

Yes — we offer hands-on training for: Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO fundamentals, content marketing strategy, analytics and reporting, social media management, email marketing, and marketing automation. Training formats: half-day workshops, weekly mentoring, on-the-job coaching, and recorded modules. Custom curriculum based on your team's skill gaps. Average engagement: 8-12 sessions over 3 months.

How much does marketing consulting cost?

One-time strategy project: ₹75,000-2,00,000 (includes audit, strategy document, and implementation plan). Monthly advisory retainer: ₹40,000-1,00,000/month (ongoing strategic guidance, monthly reviews, and ad-hoc consulting). Hourly consulting: ₹5,000-8,000/hour. Team training: ₹30,000-60,000 per workshop. Fractional CMO: ₹1,00,000-2,00,000/month (part-time CMO-level strategic leadership). All engagements include clear deliverables and success metrics.
