Strategic marketing consulting
I work with founder-led businesses who have grown on relationships and reputation, but haven't yet built a marketing system to support that growth. I help you get clear on your positioning, build a strategy, and create consistent ways to reach the right clients.
15 years of corporate marketing across private wealth, banking, financial services, and telecommunications. Singapore, Australia, London and Seoul.
What I do
You're relying on referrals that come and go. You don't have a clear system for reaching the right people consistently. And you're personally involved in every marketing decision.
You know your marketing could be working harder. You're just not sure where to start.
Most founders assume the answer is more: more content, more social posts, a new website. But without a clear strategy, that's just more random acts of marketing.
The real answer is looking under the hood first, understanding what's actually working, what isn't, and what to build next. That's what I do.
Where I can help
You struggle to explain what you do in a way that makes the right people immediately say yes. Your messaging isn't landing the way you know it should.
Your business grew on word of mouth, but it's unpredictable. You need a more reliable way to reach the right people consistently.
The plan exists, on paper or in your head, but the day-to-day of running a business means it never gets the attention it needs.
My approach
About
Annabelle Wagner Consulting
My story
I spent 15 years inside some of the most demanding marketing environments in financial services: private wealth, banking, telecommunications, and financial services. Singapore, Australia, London and Seoul.
I've built marketing for large organisations with big budgets and complex stakeholder environments. And I've worked inside founder-led businesses as the person brought in to build marketing from scratch.
I know what separates businesses that grow from those that stay stuck. It's rarely more budget. It's almost always clearer positioning, a better system, and smarter execution.
I'm a strategic marketing consultant, not an executor. My job is to give you the clarity, direction, and plan, and then equip you and your team to bring it to life.
What I help you achieve
Services
Every business is different. I always start with a conversation about where you are and what you need most.
For founders who need to get clear before they can grow. I work through your positioning, your target client, your competitive advantage, and what your marketing should actually be doing.
You leave with a clear strategy, a sharper way of talking about what you do, and a plan for what to build next.
For founders who want a senior marketing partner without hiring a full-time CMO. Monthly strategic support. A thought partner, a sounding board, and someone who keeps the marketing moving.
I work alongside you on the decisions that matter: what to prioritise, how to position new offers, where to focus your time and budget.
Launching something new, entering a new market, or working through a specific challenge. Scoped engagements for businesses who need focused strategic input at a specific point in time.
I work with you to define the scope, deliver the thinking, and give you a clear path forward, without the ongoing commitment of a retainer.
