How much does brand strategy & business consultancy cost?
Most brand strategists and business consultants won’t tell you their rates upfront. Which makes it difficult when you’re trying to budget for proper strategy support.
We get it. You shouldn’t have to play guessing games just to plan ahead.
That’s why we publish our pricing openly. No hidden fees. No “it depends on your budget” conversations. Just honest, upfront costs from people who’ve been in your shoes.
How much do consultants normally charge?
In the UK, brand strategy and business consultancy fees typically range between £500–£2,000 per day. Where a consultant lands depends on:
Experience – junior consultants cost less; senior strategists with 20 years’ experience cost more.
Agency vs freelance – agencies often charge more due to overheads.
Specialisation – niche expertise commands premium rates.
Project vs retainer – ongoing work often lowers the day rate.
Client budget – yes, some consultants will raise estimates if they think you can afford it.
We don’t play those games.
Why our prices are different
We believe strategy shouldn’t feel like a guessing game.
Most consultants charge by the day — and leave you wondering how many days you’ll actually need. That’s confusing, hard to budget for, and often adds up to more than you expect.
We’ve kept things simple. Instead of day rates, we offer clear, fixed-price packages. You’ll always know what you’re getting, what it costs, and what the outcome will be.
And here’s the important bit: we deliberately keep our prices fair and our expertise accessible because we want to help as many purpose-led businesses as possible. These are the organisations that really need senior-level support — and too often can’t afford it, because the best advice usually costs the earth.
Our mission is to prove you can make money and do good. And we want businesses like yours to thrive, because that’s how meaningful change happens.
