Digital marketing consulting:
a clear plan before you spend.

A digital marketing consulting engagement, not a retainer pitch. We review what's running on every channel and rank what works and what's wasted. Then you get a written plan with the order to do things in. Carry it out with us, or take it elsewhere.

One engagement, six parts

What our marketing consulting
includes.

A review of every channel, ranked by where the gains are

We list every channel you run now: search, paid ads, email, content, social, whatever you have. For each one we set what it costs against what it returns. You get a ranked list. It shows what deserves more money, what's just carrying on out of habit, and what should probably stop. It's built from your own numbers, not a standard checklist.

First

A written growth plan, in the right order

We put the priorities from the review in order and give them dates. You see what starts this month and what waits for something else first. Some work only makes sense once another piece is done. A plan that calls everything urgent is not a plan. Most marketing plans skip deciding the order. That decision is what this work is for.

In writing

An agreed way to measure what works

Before the plan starts, we agree what we will measure and what we can only estimate. We also agree the one number each channel is judged on. Teams that argue about whether something worked usually never agreed what success looked like. So we write it down before the first pound is spent. Then the argument doesn't happen later.

Foundational

Part-time or in-house senior strategy help

Some teams want a senior marketing lead in the room, not just a document. This person joins your planning meetings. They stand up for the plan under pressure and adjust it as real numbers come in. They work alongside your team. They don't replace the people who do the daily work.

Optional, monthly

Honest advice on whether to hire, use us or use someone else

Sometimes the right answer is to hire your own staff. Sometimes it's to keep PixelCrayons to do the work. Sometimes it's to run a proper tender (an RFP) and pick someone else. The plan says which, and why. It follows your channel priorities, not a wish to sell you more work.

As needed

A plan anyone can pick up and carry out

We write the plan so whoever runs it can use it. Choose PixelCrayons' channel teams and work starts at once, because the same team wrote the plan. Choose someone else, or your own team, and you get a detailed document. Another agency or a new hire can pick it up without needing us to explain it.

Final

How it starts

From the first review
to the first decisions.

Start

Brief and a call

We sign an NDA. Then we talk through what's running today and what's holding growth back.

Once the brief is complete

Audit and itemised proposal

We confirm the date your proposal arrives. It lists the channel review, the plan in order, how we'll measure it and who should do the work. Each part is itemised and priced.

Your decision

You sign off

You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.

Typically 2 to 3 business days later

The work starts

We list every channel you run, with what it costs, what it produces and what it returns.

On the date in your proposal

First deliverable

The written plan, tested with your key people in a workshop where we agree the order. Then the first decisions on the work are put in writing.

Inside Prism

Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.

Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.

Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, marketing runs in a workspace you log into: requests, approvals, tasks and the weekly review, with the cost of each channel beside the leads it produced.

Proof

How planning search and ads together
grew a store's revenue.

Al Majed for Oud's Saudi store in Arabic, from the Internet Archive's copy of April 2026: a campaign banner for the Serious perfume

Commerce · Saudi Arabia

Store, search and paid media

Al Majed for Oud: a fragrance house's whole catalogue, online in two languages.

This published case wasn't a formal consulting project, so we don't call it one. But it shows the kind of decision a plan is there to make. Two suppliers had planned search and paid ads without seeing each other's plans. The paid ads were bidding on searches the store already won for free. After the store moved platform, we planned the two together. Paid ads covered the searches organic hadn't won yet, and stepped back where it had. Revenue grew 340% in 7 months.

Who should execute

Hire, use us or use someone else:
how the plan decides.

This part of the plan names its tests: the skills needed, the budget and how much you can oversee. It follows them to whatever answer they give, even one that sends the work elsewhere.

Where you are	What we recommend	Why
You already know which channel needs the work	Skip this engagement and go straight to that channel's service	This work answers which channel deserves the next pound. You already know that answer.
Your current plan lists everything as equally urgent	The full work: review, ranking and putting it in order	Most marketing plans skip deciding the order. That decision is what this work is for.
You can do the work but lack a senior strategist	Part-time senior help alongside your team	They join your planning meetings and stand up for the plan. They don't replace the people who do the daily work.
The criteria point to an in-house hire	We name the specialist role to hire	Sometimes the right answer is to build your own team, and the plan says so.
The criteria point to an agency we don't work for	We say so, and suggest a tender (an RFP) using the named tests	The plan and the work are priced apart, so we gain nothing from the advice.
The criteria point to our channel teams	Work starts at once	The same team that wrote the plan runs it.

Whichever row fits you, we write the plan so another agency or a new hire can pick it up on their own.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Both, and the plan says which makes sense for you. If PixelCrayons does the work, the team that wrote the plan runs it. You may prefer your own team or another agency. The plan is detailed enough to hand over without us explaining it. You don't need to sign a retainer to get the plan.

They answer the question a channel service takes for granted: which channel deserves the next pound? We look at every channel before you buy any one service. If the review says SEO comes first, we'll point you to the SEO service. If not, you'll know before you sign a retainer for the wrong channel.

It includes what the channel review found and your priorities, ranked and put in order. It sets out how we'll measure results, and who should do the work. Everything is written, itemised and priced. It's yours to keep whether or not you go further with us.

No. Part-time senior help works alongside your team. You get a senior marketing strategy consultant in your planning meetings. They stand up for the plan and adjust it to real numbers. It suits teams who can do the work but lack a senior strategist. It doesn't replace staff. If you need a replacement, say so and we'll tell you if this fits.

Yes. The part of the plan on who should do the work is there for exactly that. We name the tests: the skills needed, the budget and how much you can oversee. We follow them wherever they lead. That can mean a named in-house role, or a tender for agencies we don't work for. That's why the plan is priced apart from the work.

No. A consultant who promises results they don't control is a warning sign. Results depend on how well the work is done, your market and your competitors. We promise the method. You get a review built from your own numbers and priorities ranked on evidence. You also get a weekly check of whether the plan is working.

It's for teams about to spend budget who aren't sure which channel deserves it. It's also for teams whose plan calls everything urgent. And it suits teams who can do the work but lack a senior strategist. If you already know which channel needs the work, go straight to that service.

before the spend.

Tell us what's running today and what you're deciding. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your priced, written roadmap: the audit, the sequencing, the measurement framework and an honest build-vs-buy call, yours to keep either way.
