Consultancy
For when you’re carrying it alone.
Senior events leaders rarely have anyone above them who’s actually run events. Sarah is that second pair of eyes — packaged into four named engagements, so you know exactly what you’re commissioning.
Four engagements
Packaged engagements, not day rates.
Each engagement has a defined shape, a defined timeline, and a defined deliverable. You’re commissioning an outcome, not buying Sarah’s time by the hour. Pricing starts from a published floor — bespoke shapes scale up from there.
Events Strategy Audit
A structured review of your events portfolio against the business outcomes it should be delivering. Six weeks. Ends with a written report and a 90-minute readout.
Strategy Day
A single day with you and your senior team. Sarah facilitates. You leave with a one-page strategy and three concrete next steps the team has agreed to.
Team Structure Review
For when the events team isn’t shaped right anymore. Stakeholder interviews, RACI work, role definitions, hiring brief if needed. Eight weeks.
Partnerships & Sponsorship
A focused engagement on monetisation. Audit the current partnership offer, redesign the prospectus, define the sales motion. Ten weeks, with optional retainer.
How we work together
Four phases. No surprises.
Discovery call
A free, 30-minute call. We work out whether this is even the right shape of engagement. About a third of the time, it isn’t — and Sarah will say so.
Scoping
A short written proposal. Engagement, deliverables, timeline, fee. You sign, or you don’t, with no awkwardness either way.
The work
Sarah does the work directly. No associates, no farmed-out chunks. Weekly written check-ins so you always know where things are.
Handover
A written deliverable, a readout meeting, and a 30-day window for follow-up questions while it lands.
We thought we needed a new agency. After the strategy day with Sarah we realised we needed a different RFP. She saved us £40k and a year of bad decisions in eight hours.
A useful clarification
What Sarah doesn’t do as a consultant.
She doesn’t run your event for you. She doesn’t manage your suppliers. She doesn’t write decks that sit on a shared drive. She thinks with you, sharply and on the record, and then she hands you something you can act on. If you need someone in the room running things on the day, you don’t need a consultant — you need an event manager. Sarah can recommend three.
A 30-minute call. No pitch. No obligation.
If your situation needs consultancy, we’ll work out what shape of engagement makes sense. If it doesn’t, Sarah will say so — and point you somewhere better.
