Get a marketing plan worth following
Senior strategic thinking, bought on its own terms. You get the diagnosis, the priorities and the roadmap — then you decide who does the work. Doing it yourself is a perfectly good answer.
2 sessions you can book and pay for right now — no call needed first.
You're busy, but nothing compounds
Plenty of posting, plenty of activity, no clear line from any of it to an enquiry. Effort isn't the problem — direction is.
Your team is good, but unguided
You have people who can execute. What they don't have is a call on what matters most this quarter, and what to stop doing.
You want a plan before a retainer
Committing to monthly spend before anyone has diagnosed the problem is how marketing budgets get wasted. Buy the thinking first.
Start with a session
Pick a time, pay by card, done — no sales call first. Everything else here is scoped with you first, and that’s deliberate: the bigger the engagement, the more a wrong self-serve purchase costs you both.
One focused challenge, worked through properly, with the notes to act on afterwards.

Questions people ask before booking
How much does a marketing consultant cost in the UK?
At Social Spark Consultations, a 90-minute strategy session is £295 and a marketing roadmap workshop is £395, both booked and paid online. A full-day marketing audit is from £1,750, mentoring from £1,995 per quarter, ongoing quarterly strategy from £1,500 per quarter, and a fractional marketing lead from £3,000 per month.
Do I need a sales call before I can book?
Not for the strategy session or the roadmap workshop: pick a time, pay by card, and you're booked. Audits, training, mentoring and retainers are scoped on a call first, because they're shaped around your business before they're priced.
Do I need a marketing strategy before hiring an agency?
It's the cheaper order. Start with monthly delivery and you buy activity before anyone has established what's actually broken. The plan should come first — even if the plan says hire someone else. Three months of a team pointed at the wrong priority costs more than a strategy session.
Will you try to sell me an agency retainer?
No. Every recommendation comes with an honest note on who should do it: you, a hire, a freelancer, or Social Spark. If the right answer is that you handle it in-house, the strategy says so. You paid for the thinking, and it's yours to take anywhere.
Which service should I start with?
If you're not sure, start with the 90-minute strategy session at £295. If it turns out you need something bigger, we'll tell you in the session rather than sell it to you now.
What's the difference between the strategy session and the roadmap workshop?
The 90-Minute Strategy Session (£295) works through one specific challenge and ends with written notes and 3–5 recommendations. The Marketing Roadmap Workshop (£395) is broader: it produces a bespoke strategy brief and a 90-day priority roadmap, with one clarification round within 7 days. Both are booked and paid for online.
Do you work with businesses outside London?
Yes. Social Spark is based in London and works with businesses across the UK. Sessions run by video call as standard, and in-person sessions can be arranged.
Not sure which one you need?
Start with the 90-minute strategy session at £295. If it turns out you need something bigger, we’ll tell you in the session rather than sell you it now.
