Marketing & business consultant
Your marketing should make you money. Not just look good.
For more than 15 years, I've helped companies connect marketing to business results. As the co-founder of a marketing agency, I've spent hundreds of hours in meetings with CEOs, owners and CFOs. I learned to look at marketing the way they do, through the numbers.
Brands and companies that know my approach and work
Sound familiar?
You have marketing. Is it delivering business results?
The three situations business owners and executives bring to me most often.
"We invest in marketing, but we can't tell what we're actually getting for it."
You need an independent outside view: where your marketing earns its keep, where money leaks out, and what to fix first.
"We need someone who looks at our marketing strategically and through the numbers."
You need an experienced sparring partner for your decisions, someone who can look at things critically and still bring real, workable solutions.
"Our team needs to catch up on AI and new ways of working."
You need a hands-on workshop. Not theory, but proven methods your team starts using right away.
Services
Three ways I can help
Scope and pricing are tailored to your situation. You'll get exact numbers on the free intro consultation.
Marketing audit
An independent review of your marketing, from strategy and content down to the data in your own tools (GA4, Search Console and more). You'll see what's working, where money is leaking and what to do differently, including where AI can genuinely help you today.
- conclusions drawn from your data, not from impressions
- what works, what doesn't and why
- deliverable: a written report + a personal presentation of findings, with recommendations ranked by priority
The most common first step. Consulting is a natural follow-up.
Strategy consulting / mentoring
An ongoing strategic partner for the owner or the marketing team. I'll help you set direction, evaluate results and make decisions backed by numbers. All without paying for yet another agency.
- monthly consulting retainer (online, or on-site across Central Europe)
- a marketing × business × finance perspective
- a second opinion on agency and vendor proposals
Workshop for your team
Hands-on training built for your team: content marketing that sells, or AI in marketing. What actually works today and how to build it into your processes.
- half-day or full-day format, on-site or online
- content tailored to your team and your industry
- methods your team can apply the very next day
Why me
Hundreds of boardroom meetings taught me to see marketing through a business lens
- 15 years in marketing, since 2016 as co-founder of the marketing agency ContentFruiter (now Fruiterz).
- Hundreds of audits and strategies across industries, from family-owned businesses to multinational companies.
- Hands-on experience with brands like Viessmann, Garmin, HiPP, Velux, VÚB (Intesa Sanpaolo Group) and Sconto. I personally built, presented and defended most of those strategies in front of top management.
- CEE market depth, global outlook: 15 years in one of Europe's most competitive emerging markets. I've seen what works for multinationals and local market leaders alike.
- Speaker at marketing conferences (Digital Rulezz, Content Marketing Masters) and a guest on business and marketing podcasts.
How it works
Three steps. The decision is always yours
No pressure, no upfront commitments.

Free intro consultation
30 minutes about your situation. We'll find out whether and how I can help. If I can't, I'll tell you straight.
-
Proposal
Concrete scope, deliverables and price. Everything agreed upfront; no surprises on the invoice.
-
Delivery
An audit, consulting or a workshop, with clear outputs you can put to work immediately.
My philosophy is to guide, not push. The decision stays with you.
FAQ
The questions I hear most often
If your question isn't here, ask me directly on the free intro call.
How much does it cost?
Scope and pricing are tailored to your situation. You'll get exact numbers on the free intro consultation, and you'll always know the price before you commit to anything.
Is the intro call really commitment-free?
Yes. It's a working conversation about your situation, not a sales call. If I conclude I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and point you in a better direction where I can. Guide, not push. It applies here too.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
An agency naturally recommends what it sells. I don't sell campaigns or execution, so my recommendations aren't tied to anything I'd invoice you for later. You get an independent view from someone who knows the agency world from the inside and understands how businesses work across many industries.
Which companies is this a good fit for?
I've worked with family businesses and multinational companies alike. I bring the most value to companies that already invest in marketing (in-house or through an agency) and want to get more out of it; typically the owner, CEO or marketing director makes the call. Consultations work online or in person. Working together can also be useful when you're just starting out with marketing and need to get oriented, understand your options and set a direction.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. I work in English, consultations run online, and workshops can be delivered on-site across Central Europe or online worldwide. My background is 15 years in the CEE market, useful both for companies operating there and for anyone entering it.
