From our advisory work

Different businesses. New ways to create value.

Case study 01

Creative services · Advisory work

From delivering briefs to understanding the business behind them.

The challenge. An established creative services business had strong capabilities, but valuable client knowledge and relationship responsibility remained concentrated around its founders.

What we saw and connected. Client conversations, relationship intelligence, commercial ambitions, briefing practices and team responsibilities needed to work together more effectively.

What we designed. New relationship ownership and client intelligence practices intended to support richer briefing, stronger client relationships and greater team responsibility.

Help the whole team contribute more value to client relationships rather than simply delivering the work requested.

Advisory example 02

Building services · Commercial proposal

Different markets. Different revenue pathways. One connected business.

The challenge. A building services business operated across insurance, remedial and commercial markets, each with distinct routes to revenue.

What we saw and connected. Commercial strategy, customer relationships, sales, marketing, operational capability and existing organisational resources needed to be considered together.

The proposed response. A coordinated commercial approach with clearer marketing leadership, aligned capabilities and ongoing review of performance and opportunity.

A stronger revenue engine, clearer accountability and greater ability to pursue changing market opportunities.

Human judgement · expanded by AI

Technology expands what we can see. People determine what matters.

We combine commercial experience, conversations, research and appropriate AI tools to explore patterns, connect knowledge and investigate opportunities.

AI can expand the possibilities. Human judgement determines what is credible, what matters and what deserves action.

The solution follows the opportunity. Not the tool.

Sentio grew from this thinking. Our emerging AI platform explores how founder knowledge, judgement and experience can become organisational intelligence.

A flexible working rhythm, not a fixed programme.

Marketing Leadership. Direct access, ongoing involvement, a monthly review and a quarterly commercial review, subject to the agreed engagement.

Founder Advisory. Understand → Prioritise → Put it into practice. Scope, people, working rhythm and fee are agreed before engagement. The first conversation is confidential, and most client work is private.

The right approach depends on your business.

We begin with your business, then agree on the most useful way forward.
