Growth Marketing Rates and Packages
What’s the hourly rate for my strategic growth partnership?
£245 per hour
(no VAT)
Preferential packages from £145 per hour.
No lock-in retainer contract. Accountability for every hour tracked. Unused hours refunded*.
That’s the short answer. Here’s why you’ll appreciate my pricing model. Read on.
I’m trusted by:
Sid brought structure, clarity, and a customer-led system that turned our random acts of marketing and chaos into consistent results, helping us grow revenue and raise £4M.
– Dexter Hutchings, Head of Marketing, Mindset AI
Stop burning cash. Start unlocking revenue growth.
For 25 years, I’ve worked in the trenches and the strategy rooms. I’ve seen too many businesses pouring money into marketing that achieves nothing.
Random acts of marketing don’t just hurt your bottom line — they demoralise teams, stall progress, and disrespect the effort you’ve already put in.
I don’t do fluff. I despise it. Growth is the only outcome that matters.
Every hour you invest with me is focused on finding what works and stopping what doesn’t. Together, we build a system for repeatable, measurable results.
I’ve been trusted by:
Very relevant. Sid was able to tailor the advice specifically to my company, which he had only just learnt about at the beginning of the call. Clearly, Sid’s advice is coming from many years of experience testing what does/doesn’t work.
– Dr. Arianne Ross, Founder, Jumelé
The trouble with most marketers
Many agencies and consultancies are built to maximise their own financial security. Your revenue growth is often an afterthought.
They stack up retainers to guarantee steady monthly revenue, keep their teams comfortably salaried, and let juniors learn at your expense. Meanwhile, you’re left wondering:
- What’s actually happening with the fees I’m paying?
- Are those retainer hours driving growth — or even being used?
- Why does progress feel so slow, flat, or invisible?
It’s a self-serving model that rewards activity, not outcomes. A model where accountability is optional, and clarity is rare.
Those retainers start to feel like expensive gym memberships. You sign up with good intentions. They bank on you not challenging them about results. And they keep billing you, month after month.
Here’s a refreshing pricing model
I focus on one thing: driving your revenue growth. You get C-Suite-level leadership, customer-led strategy, and hands-on execution — all tied to outcomes, not activity.
- Preferential packages: Effective rates from £145/hour.
- Transparent time tracking: Every hour visible, accounted for, tied to progress. Minimum tracked unit: 15 minutes.
- No lock-in contract: Scale up, scale down, pause, or stop anytime. Unused hours refunded*.
- Complete visibility: Weekly/fortnightly check-ins, screen-recorded walkthrough reports, a living, organic strategy.
Hands-on delivery: I embed with you and your team. Strategy and execution from the same brain.
* I’ll calculate the hours already used at my standard rate of £245/hour. The remainder of your payment, if any, will be refunded.
Brands I’ve helped:
Sid is a true growth hacker. No matter the challenge, his response was always positive: “If you can imagine it, we can do it!” His ability to investigate, experiment, and deliver was vital in growing my business. Thanks to his involvement, we delighted our customers and scaled successfully.
Sid has been a trusted advisor for over ten years, supporting my two online and one in-store ventures. His honesty and trustworthiness are rare in marketing. Without his guidance, I would have faced costly mistakes with suppliers and struggled to grow as I did.

I had a call with Sid. In less than 30 minutes, he instructed me on how to think about and run growth experiments, and then went on to set up some initial data sources and dashboards. It was amazing, it felt like walking into an oasis and getting a cold glass of water.
Finally, for the first time in 15 years, I have a structure and strategy for growth, and the visible metrics that will enable me to see what’s working.

Why founders and teams trust me
I’ve put in the hours. 25 years of them.
I’m not here for marketing theatre or to play at being a marketer. I have little patience for wasteful tactics that add no value to your business.
I’m an entrepreneur myself. I’ve run businesses, sit on leadership teams and boards, and advise founders almost every day.
While other marketers are still debating a campaign brief or what colour the button should be, I’ve already written the copy, built the landing page, wired up event tracking, created the ads, set up CRM automations, and validated the experiments.
Founders hire me because I focus on outcomes that matter — usually, after being burned by others who wasted their time, money, and patience.
