View My Core Offerings

Affordable Marketing Consultant for Small Businesses

With 14 years of experience in online & offline marketing and senior client counsel, I understand that small businesses often struggle to allocate a significant budget for marketing. Many cannot afford top-tier agencies, despite needing the same high-quality expertise to compete and grow.

I firmly believe that every business, regardless of size, deserves access to expert marketing counsel. That’s why I offer my services at a reasonable and transparent day rate – ensuring that small businesses can benefit from senior-level marketing strategy and execution without the hefty price tag.

My approach delivers the same level of expertise and insight that agencies provide, but in a way that is accessible and tailored to the needs of smaller enterprises. Whether you need strategic guidance, branding expertise, or digital marketing execution, I am committed to providing top-tier support at a price that works for you.

KEY QUESTIONS

A light in the shape of a question mark to denote the FAQ section of Ciaran Pillay, a freelance marketing consultant, website.

  • We'll start with a free consultation to determine your marketing needs and how I might be best placed to help you achieve your business goals.

  • I charge a competitive & fair day rate and will quote each job specifically. Pricing is based on both the project's scope, required output and your desired timeline.

  • I offer both options and I find the best way to collaborate is to allow at least three months. Ideally, we’ll enter an agreement for a six month retainer. Retainer options often deliver the most value to you, too.
