Bentley Strategy Retainer
A monthly advisory retainer. Strategic advisory for CMOs and senior marketing leaders.
Your most consequential decisions come with pressure, ambiguity, and no margin for error. Platform investments. AI adoption strategy. Vendor selection. Organizational restructuring. Go-to-market pivots in a market that keeps shifting. These are the moments where the right perspective makes all the difference. Someone who has been in your seat, made these calls before at the C-suite level, and whose only agenda is your success. That’s what the retainer provides.
Simple monthly retainer. No long-term commitment. Cancel at the end of any month. Choose the tier that matches how deeply integrated you need me to be in your team.
For leaders who want experienced strategic perspective and periodic guidance. Three to four strategic advisory calls per month, on-demand input via email, and guidance on strategic priorities. Independent strategic perspective.
For leaders who want a deeply integrated strategic partner. Direct access via on-demand calls. Executive coaching and leadership development. Strategy and decision support. Board and executive presentation preparation. Vendor and technology investment guidance. Growth strategy and creative problem solving.
For organizations seeking deeper integration and expanded leadership support. Same-day response on urgent questions. Active participation in team meetings and emails. Review and recommendations on current work projects. Deepest integration and highest impact.
Pricing is fixed-fee monthly and tier-specific. I partner with a limited number of organizations at any time to ensure focus and impact. Specific pricing is discussed in the discovery conversation.
Most retainers begin where a discrete project ends, or with a short discovery and alignment phase to confirm fit. The first month is structured around getting current on your business, priorities, and the decisions in front of you. From there, the cadence shifts to ongoing strategic support, decision frameworks for live issues, and monthly priority alignment, with additional priority projects identified along the way.
The retainer is built around your success, not a billing model. Direct access to me, senior executive perspective on every interaction, and a cross-functional lens on every challenge. No hourly billing. No layers. No junior teams. Incentivized by your outcomes, not time spent.
