Many activities, little direction
SEO, content and campaigns run alongside each other. We clarify which activities contribute to your goals and where your resources could work harder.
Digital Marketing Consulting & Strategic Support
Digital marketing consulting. Strategy, sparring and implementation.
Digital marketing consulting brings goals, channels and resources into a clear plan. As a marketing consultant and freelancer, I support businesses in Switzerland with a second opinion, an actionable marketing strategy or practical help within the team. You work directly with me – Fabian Pfluger.
Discuss working together ↗When can an external marketing consultant help?
External marketing advice is useful when you need a decision, a shared direction or additional expertise.
A decision needs a second opinion
You want to challenge a strategy, an agency proposal or your next investment. As your marketing sounding board, I help you examine assumptions, alternatives and open questions.
The team needs more time or expertise
You need support for a specific project. As a digital marketing freelancer, I take on agreed tasks and work with your team or existing partners.
What do you gain from working together?
The result is a basis for decisions and practical work. We agree which documents and tasks are included before starting.
| Deliverable | What you receive |
|---|---|
| Strategy and marketing roadmap | Goals, audiences, channel roles and prioritised actions – with responsibilities, dependencies and suitable metrics. |
| Sparring with concrete next steps | An assessment of your questions, reasoned recommendations and documented decisions rather than another list of ideas. |
| Implementation and knowledge transfer | Agreed deliverables, clear documentation and a handover your team can build on. |
Consulting, a sparring partner or a marketing freelancer: what fits your needs?
These three approaches address different needs and can be combined: developing direction, testing decisions and putting plans into practice.
Strategic marketing consulting
We develop or refine your digital marketing strategy: from goals and audiences to the role of each channel and realistic planning.
Marketing sparring
As your marketing sparring partner, I challenge plans and assumptions with you. This suits business leaders, marketing managers and internal teams looking to make better-informed decisions.
Flexible freelance support
As an online marketing freelancer, I support your team with clearly defined SEO, AI search, content, performance marketing or analytics tasks. We agree the scope and responsibilities together.
Connecting channels and measurement
We review how organic search, paid campaigns, content and conversion work together. Measurement follows your business goals and the data available.
You can involve me for a single question, a project or regular sparring sessions. We agree services, availability and fees before you engage me.
How does marketing consulting work?
We start with your specific question and agree a suitable approach with a manageable scope.
Understand the starting point
We discuss goals, previous activities and team capacity. You share the documents and data relevant to your question.
Define the collaboration
We agree whether you need consulting, sparring or operational support, which results to expect and who takes on each task.
Work and refine
We address the priorities, discuss what we learn and adjust the next steps. Decisions and tasks remain documented.
Your questions about consulting, freelance support and sparring
What does a digital marketing consultant do?
A digital marketing consultant reviews goals, audiences, channels and data, then develops recommendations. If useful, I combine this advice with sparring and hands-on support.
What is the difference between marketing consulting and marketing sparring?
Consulting can develop a strategy or a specific approach. In sparring sessions, you bring your own questions and plans; we examine them together and sharpen your decision.
When does a marketing freelancer make sense?
A marketing freelancer helps when a project needs additional expertise or operational capacity. We define tasks, interfaces and deliverables so the support fits your team.
Can you develop our existing marketing strategy?
Yes. We can build on your strategy, test assumptions and results, and make targeted improvements. A complete restart is not always necessary.
Do you work with our team or agency?
Yes. You can involve me alongside internal staff and existing agencies. We clarify responsibilities and communication before starting.
Who is the consulting service for?
I support businesses, marketing managers and internal teams in Switzerland. What matters is a concrete question and a willingness to turn it into practical steps.
What does working together cost?
Fees depend on the task, scope and type of collaboration. After an initial discussion, we agree services and costs transparently; a fixed price without this context would not be helpful.
What should I prepare for the first conversation?
Your main question, website and a short overview of your goals, current activities and resources are helpful. If available, bring relevant reports or strategy documents.
