The Strategy Sprint is rambert.co's three-week, fixed-fee marketing strategy engagement for founder-led businesses doing $2-8M. We diagnose what's broken, organise the scattered pieces into one strategy, and hand you a foundational playbook your team owns.
Most businesses don't have a marketing problem. They have a strategy problem wearing a marketing disguise.
You've hired agencies, run ads, posted content, maybe brought someone in-house. Yet the pipeline stays unpredictable, cost per acquisition keeps climbing, and nobody can tell you why the spend isn't converting.
The issue isn't effort. It's architecture. You're building on foundations that were never designed to compound.
The longer you run without a strategy, the more you spend to get the same results. The gap widens every month.
Fractional CMO, Marketing Strategist, Marketing Coach: every formal engagement at rambert.co opens with the same three weeks. Before anyone executes, coaches or leads, the scattered pieces get organised into one strategy your business owns: channels, vendors, budgets and half-finished plans, finally pointing the same way. Fixed fee, fixed timeline, defined deliverable: you see exactly how we think before committing to anything ongoing.
Managed execution only works against a shared strategy. The Sprint builds it first, so an embedded marketing leader starts compounding in week one instead of spending a quarter discovering the business.
The Sprint is the strategy engagement: diagnosis, positioning, competitive analysis and a foundational playbook. Deeper or ongoing strategy work extends from here.
Advice without a playbook is opinions on a schedule. The Sprint gives your team the system the advisory then steers against, review by review.
Same three weeks, same fixed fee, same diagnostic depth. The Sprint you pick decides where it all points.
Exact scope is confirmed together at discovery. Every document ships in your hub: a private, living site your whole team works from.
Honest answers, no email required. We'll name the Sprint that fits, and the discovery call pressure-tests it together.
Every Sprint delivers an interactive playbook with branded documentation, reference materials, and implementation guides your team uses from day one.
We pull apart your business, market, competitors, and current marketing performance. Interview stakeholders, audit channels, and identify the real bottlenecks, not just the symptoms.
My team and I build your strategy from the ground up. Positioning, funnel architecture, channel selection, messaging framework, and conversion paths. Everything connects.
You receive a complete campaign or go-to-market strategy, supported by comprehensive resources we walk you through in detail before handover. Every recommendation is actionable, every priority is sequenced, and you leave with a day-one plan you can run with.

Limited to 5 businesses per month. Application required.
I lead every Sprint personally. No account managers, no juniors, no handoffs. Your strategy gets the same thinking I'd give a seven-figure retainer client.
Business owners, founders, and operational leaders who are spending money on marketing but can't point to a coherent strategy behind it. If you've outgrown guesswork and are ready for a system that compounds, this is built for you.
From $4,997, a fixed fee for the full three weeks. Every Sprint type has the same fixed fee and the same diagnostic depth, and we confirm the exact scope together at discovery, before anything is signed.
A marketing strategy and foundational playbook your business owns outright, delivered in your hub, a private, living site your whole team works from. It's written so your team can act on it from day one, whether or not you work with us again.
Nothing, if you run the playbook yourselves. If you want us involved, advisory starts from $2,450 a month. Your team implements, and we review and steer. A hands-on fractional CMO engagement, where we lead the execution, runs $6,500 to $14,500 a month depending on days per week and scope.
About 3-4 hours total across the 3 weeks. A discovery session in Week 1, a mid-point check in Week 2, and a delivery walkthrough in Week 3. We do the heavy lifting.
The Sprint delivers the strategy, and it's written so your team can execute independently. If you want support beyond that, there are two paths: Marketing Advisory & Coaching, where we review and steer while your team runs it, or a Fractional CMO engagement, where we lead the execution end to end. Both continue from the playbook the Sprint produces.
Because I lead every Sprint personally. No account managers, no juniors, no handoffs. Five is the maximum I can take while maintaining the depth each business deserves.
You execute the roadmap with 30 days of async support included. Beyond that, many clients continue into Phase 2 (Implementation Sprint) for campaign setup and launch, or Phase 3 for ongoing marketing coordination and leadership.
A full-service agency retainer usually runs for months before you see meaningful results, and you rarely own the strategy behind it. The Sprint gives you a senior-led strategy in 3 weeks for a fraction of that cost. You get a strategy that makes every future marketing dollar work harder, whether you execute it in-house, with an agency, or with us. The strategy is yours to own.
Every client leaves the Sprint with the same thing: a strategy they own outright. What happens next is your call. No lock-in, no pressure, and the recommendation comes out of the diagnostic itself.
Take the playbook and execute internally. It's written so your team can run it without us in the room. Plenty of clients come back months later for the next strategic problem; plenty don't need to.
Your team implements; we steer. A standing cadence of senior review and accountability against the playbook, from $2,450/month.
We lead the execution: embedded marketing leadership coordinating your team, agencies and campaigns, owning the numbers. Advisory from $2,450/month; hands-on $6,500 to $14,500/month.
