We fix what makes marketing fail.

Then we build what makes it work.

Most businesses don't have a marketing problem. They have a brand strategy problem — a gap between who they actually are and how they show up. Between what they promise and what they can deliver.

The Other Consultants exists to close that gap. We start with research and operational honesty. We dive deep into understanding your whole business, not just marketing, but operations, positioning, constraints, actual budget and team bandwidth. We tell you what needs fixing before campaigns can work. Then we build the strategy, identity, and marketing that makes your business grow.

Led by Katey Harris, a former commercial lawyer and business owner with 15+ years of marketing experience across start-ups, agencies, and scale-ups. Her cross-disciplinary background brings an understanding of supply chains, regulatory constraints and business structures that impact your brand. The result? A brand strategy that makes sense for your reality, not someone else’s playbook.

THE WORK ———

We work with purpose-driven startups, scale-ups, and established SMEs that need honest strategic advice grounded in commercial reality.

01

PROJECT

BRAND STRATEGY

The foundation that determines whether everything that comes after actually works. Most businesses don't have a marketing problem — they have a brand strategy problem. A gap between who they actually are and how they show up.

We fix that first. Research, positioning, and a strategic framework your whole team can use before a single campaign is built.

02

ONGOING ENGAGEMENT

FRACTIONAL CMO

CMO-level thinking on a part-time, embedded basis. This isn't a fixed retainer with predetermined deliverables. It's flexible, senior-level support shaped around what your business actually needs right now. Typically, that looks like:

03

VISUAL IDENTITY

Brand strategy informs every design decision. Working with an external branding expert, we refine or rebuild your visual system so it reflects who you actually are.

SUPPORTING SERVICES

WEBSITE DESIGN & BUILD

Designed and built on Squarespace or Shopify — giving your team full ownership without ongoing technical dependency.
