Sound Familiar?

You're Definitely Doing Marketing

That's part of the problem.

You've got a validated offer. You've got paying clients. You're probably doing at least $10K a month, although some months feel a lot healthier than others.

You've got content going out, leads coming in, a VA asking questions, maybe an agency fiddling with ads, a funnel that sort of works, a CRM full of people nobody has followed up properly, and twelve different opinions about what needs fixing next.

More traffic? A new offer? Different messaging? Another funnel?

Before we add another bloody funnel, I'd quite like to know where the money is actually leaking.

The Marketing Apothekary Method

Diagnose. Prescribe. Formulate.

Over 12 weeks, I'll help you diagnose the commercial constraint weakening your marketing, prescribe the right intervention, put two focused Potency Formulations into the real world, and use the evidence to decide what happens next.

By Day 90, you should be able to point to what changed and say: this was the symptom, this was the real constraint, this is what we prescribed, here are the numbers, here's what happens next.

That's Profitable Potency.

The Marketing Apothekary grimoire, open to the Profitable Potency triangle: Clarity, Leverage, Predictability
Clarity

You Know What to Do

You can identify the real constraint and choose a focused course of action instead of reacting to every visible symptom.

Predictability

You Know What Works

You can connect your decisions to measurable customer behaviour and commercial results, then repeat and improve what the evidence supports.

Leverage

It Doesn't All Depend on You

What works is understood, recorded, and eventually supported by people, processes, technology, automation and AI.

The 12-Week Pathway

From Diagnosis to Compound Growth

1

Days 1–7: Diagnose, Prescribe, Formulate

Using the Marketing Potency Assessment™, your current numbers, assets, customer journey and marketing activity, we work out what is actually weakening the result across attention, message, offer, funnel, sales, follow-up, retention and economics. That becomes your Marketing Prescription: one constraint, no more than three primary ingredients, a baseline, a defined implementation period and a decision signal.

2

Days 8–30: Formulation Goes to Market

Not another plan sitting in a folder. A real formulation in market. Maybe it's follow-up instead of more leads. Maybe it's the offer, one ugly section of the funnel, a reactivated database, sales conversion, or analytics that finally tell you something useful. The remedy changes because the diagnosis changes.

3

Weeks 5–6: Scry

We look at customer behaviour, conversion data, sales feedback and commercial results, then make a decision: continue, change one weak ingredient, gather more evidence, stop the remedy, or increase the dose of something that's working.

4

Day 60: Second Cycle, From Evidence

Your second six-week Potency Cycle begins from evidence instead of another fresh round of guesses. You'll strengthen what showed promise, increase the dose of something that worked, or move to the next binding constraint the first cycle revealed, supported by a weekly Scrying Ritual that turns marketing data into decisions.

5

By Day 90: Inscribe, Enchant, Compound

Document the useful decisions, winning language, assets, processes and numbers inside your Grimoire. Where a process is understood and proven, we work out how it can be delegated, systemised, automated or supported by an AI Familiar. Run it manually, understand it, prove it, inscribe it, enchant it, compound it.

Track Record

I've Been Diagnosing and Improving Marketing Since 2003

$20K $76.4K
A travel business moved from $20,000 a month in sales to $76,400 in the first week after new marketing went live.
+350%
Repositioned a real estate developer's $10,000 product at $25,000 with a four-email sequence. The campaign went on to generate around $300,000 each time it ran.
$1.1K $60K+
An air-conditioning installer spent $1,100 on an ad campaign and generated more than $60,000 in sales within two weeks.
20 / Week
A doctor's evergreen webinar funnel averaged 20 appointments a week, leads under $10, consultations under $300. Around 20% converted into a USD $15,000 programme.
120+
Fitness coaches coached on offers, messaging, social media, email, funnels and advertising.
The Common Thread
Diagnosis. I rarely assume the answer is more marketing. Sometimes traffic really is the patient. Sometimes it isn't.

Fit Check

Is the Founding Cohort Right for You?

It's for You If

  • You're an established business owner with a proven offer and paying clients, and enough existing marketing activity for us to diagnose.
  • You've got the capacity to implement yourself or through your team.
  • You're willing to look at the numbers and can handle direct feedback.
  • You'd quite like your marketing to become clearer, more repeatable and less dependent on you remembering everything.

It's Not For

  • Pre-revenue businesses, or people still trying to decide what they sell.
  • Course collectors who won't implement.
  • Owners looking for a done-for-you agency.
  • Anyone who wants their favourite tactic blessed regardless of what the evidence says. (If you've already emotionally purchased another complicated funnel, we may have words.)
