Every board meeting, the same question: "What's our AI strategy?" Meanwhile, your competitors claim they're "AI-powered" and you're watching them win deals you should have won.
You've been burned before. The transformation projects that dragged on for years. The tools that never delivered ROI. The consultants who left you with PDFs instead of progress.
Now you need to navigate AI transformation with this track record. And you can't afford another failure.
The exhausting reality:
- 27 martech tools creating data chaos instead of insights
- Team of 4 trying to compete with companies 10x your size
- IT worried about innovation at every turn ("That's a compliance nightmare")
- Failed transformations making everyone skeptical
- No clear path from AI hype to actual results
"The board keeps asking about AI strategy, but I need something that actually works, not more PowerPoints and promises."
— CMO, £50m manufacturer

Common questions
Q: How is this different from hiring consultants?
Traditional consultants deliver reports and leave. We provide ongoing strategic guidance through implementation, helping you navigate the inevitable challenges and pivots. Think of us as your strategic AI advisor, not project consultants.
Q: What if we need hands-on implementation?
Advisory focuses on strategy and capability building. When you need implementation, our Graph Digital team can execute what we strategise, or we can guide your team/vendors. Many clients start with advisory then add implementation.
Q: Can you work with our existing team/agencies?
Absolutely. We help you get more from existing resources by providing strategic direction and frameworks. We're not here to replace good teams - we're here to make them more effective.
Q: What's the difference between advisory and fractional CMO?
Advisory is strategic guidance and capability building. Fractional CMO includes hands-on leadership, team management, and executive representation. Advisory is perfect when you have strong execution but need strategic direction.
Q: Why 6 months minimum?
Real transformation takes time. Quick fixes don't build lasting advantage. Six months allows for foundation building, capability development, and sustainable change. Most clients continue far beyond as the value compounds.

Stop playing defense. Start building the capabilities that put you ahead and keep you there.
