FAQ
Common questions about marketing consulting.
What is a marketing consultant and what do they actually do?
A marketing consultant is an external expert who assesses your marketing, identifies the real constraints on growth, and provides a prioritised plan to fix them. Unlike an agency that runs a specific service (ads, SEO, social), a consultant looks across everything — strategy, spend, teams, messaging, and data — and gives you independent, objective direction.
How is marketing consulting different from hiring a marketing agency?
An agency executes a specific service — they run your ads, manage your social, or write your blogs. A marketing consultant helps you decide which services to use, how to allocate budget, whether your current agencies are performing, and what your overall strategy should be. Consulting and agency work are complementary, not competing.
What is a Fractional CMO?
A Fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who works with your business part-time on a retainer — typically 2–3 days per week. They set strategy, manage agencies, build your marketing team, and report directly to the CEO or founders. It gives you CMO-level thinking at a fraction of the full-time cost, and is ideal for businesses between ₹5Cr and ₹50Cr in revenue.
How long does a marketing consulting engagement typically last?
A one-time marketing audit takes 4 to 6 weeks. A go-to-market project typically runs 6 to 10 weeks. Fractional CMO retainers are usually 6 to 12-month commitments with a monthly scope. We'll recommend the right format based on what your business needs most.
Do you only consult, or can you also implement?
Both. ITW is a full-service agency as well as a consulting practice. If you want us to consult and then implement across SEO, paid media, content, design, or video, we can do that seamlessly. Many clients start with a consulting engagement and then retain us for execution.
