 FAQs

  • The main difference is that marketing consultant offers more flexibility, lower costs, short-term contracts, and focuses on strategy and advice. Marketing consultants typically work on a project basis and may also offer supplementary services including social media management. Marketing consultants can easily optimise for efficiency, and pass operating savings on to their clients to provide a cost-effective service.

    In contrast, full-service marketing agencies provide comprehensive solutions and run at high cost.

THE MARKETING SOLUTION YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

With years of big brand expertise, Strathern & Co. founder, Emma Smith, ripped up the traditional agency playbook to make exceptional marketing accessible to all businesses with mix & match marketing services, up-front pricing and short-term contracts.

Welcome to Strathern & Co.

Hi, I’m Emma Smith, Founder of Strathern & Co. and seasoned marketer of more than 10 years. I cut my teeth as part of a dynamic marketing team at the head office of one of the worlds leading retail companies, seeing through multiple rebrands, product launches, and transformative campaigns.

FRUSTRATED WITH UNUSED HOURS AND WASTED BUDGET

Over the years, I’ve seen first-hand how valuable marketing agencies can be. But here’s the catch: in order to deliver vast services, agencies need to charge high retainers and require long-term commitments to stay viable as a business.

You’re paying for access to a broad team of specialists - great if you have a big budget and an experienced marketing team to leverage every resource, not so great if you don’t.

For many businesses, especially small to medium sized ones, agency retainers often end up being a lot of money for services they don’t fully use.

In my experience, even larger marketing teams can struggle to utilise all the hours and services they’re paying for every month. Unused hours and missed opportunities all add up to wasted budget, and it’s frustrating to look back and realise you’ve invested thousands with little to show for it.

THAT’S WHY I CREATED THE ROSTER

When you join The Roster, you get access to actionable advice, and a clear, optimised marketing strategy tailored to your budget. You’ll know exactly where to focus to drive growth and have enough project hours to implement any work needed, or you can bank them for busier months. For specialised expertise, I can connect you to trusted suppliers, ensuring you get the right support without the high overheads of a full-service agency retainer.
