Talked About Marketing
Your marketing feels broken. You don't know why.
You’ve built something real. Clients tell you the work is excellent. But when people visit your website, they leave confused. When you explain what you do, eyes glaze over.
You can’t read the label from inside the bottle. You’re too close to see what’s genuinely there. You need someone outside to spot the pattern you’ve missed.
After 8,000 conversations across every sector imaginable since 2005, we’ve seen this before. Smart people. Genuine businesses. Working themselves into the ground because they can’t articulate what makes them valuable.
You’re not alone in this.
We Read the Label From Outside Your Bottle
Strategic Clarity Session
In one focused session, we become your external observer. We see the value running through your work. We build you a Message Framework so clean that talking about your business finally feels natural.
You receive:
- Message Framework (the clarity you’ve been missing)
- Top-level website content (written in your voice, for your customers)
- Information architecture (menu structure that makes sense)
- Prompting documents (keep generating clear content after we’re gone)
Investment:
- Solo and small businesses: $880-$1,250 + GST
- Growing businesses: $3,500-5,500 + GST
No post-it note showers. No glossy reports that gather dust. Just clear external perspective and firm ground to back yourself.

Who We Work With
Trades and technical services who do excellent work but struggle to communicate it clearly.
Schools and community/government organisations serving people, not markets, who need messaging that reflects that clarity.
Small business owners who’ve built something real but can’t explain why it matters.
8,000 conversations have taught us: capable operators with genuine value cannot see themselves clearly from inside the bottle. External perspective combined with strategic framework transforms instinctive knowledge into clear, confident language.
That’s what we do.
What Clients Say
"Steve is one of a kind. He listens. He takes on board exactly what your business issues are, and stops at nothing to help you work through them with strategies and common sense. Steve, thank you for helping me gain clear direction again in my business."
David is one of the most incredible minds I've ever met. He always knows the right thing to say at the exact perfect moment. Working with him is an honour, and his mentoring has been extremely important during key moments in my career.
"Steve was the best MC I've worked with - he was not only able to define the tone and spirit of the event, but also put time into researching and understanding the speakers, creating a warmth and familiarity that was highly engaging for the audience
The Outside Perspective Your Inside View Is Missing
Steve Davis brings pattern recognition from 8,000 small business consultations since 2005. Over 1,000 WordPress websites built. 20+ years in marketing communications. Theatre training, journalism, podcasting. The external observer who spots what you can’t see.
David Olney brings robust frameworks from 15 years teaching Complex Problem Solving at the University of Adelaide. Academic rigour without jargon. Structure that supports rather than constrains.
Together: external perspective combined with strategic framework. We read the label from outside your bottle.
