No-Fluff Marketing Audit
$500.00

One Hour. Brutal Truth. A Plan You Can Use.

You’ve wasted enough time and money on marketing that fizzles.

For $500, I’ll rip through your messaging, funnel, or campaign live on Zoom and tell you - without sugar-coating, but still kind - what’s broken, what works, and what to do next.

What You Get:

  • One-Hour Audit:

    Bring your site, campaign, and emails. Anything that’s keeping you up at night. I’ll dissect it live, on the call.

  • No Fluff, No Pitch:

    You get blunt, honest feedback. If it’s great, I’ll say so. If it’s broken, I’ll tell you how to fix it.

  • Recording + Priority Plan:

    Full session recording and a written summary of your top fixes, next steps, and what to double down on.

  • Action—Not Homework:

    You leave with a list you can actually use, not a pile of “maybes.”

Who This Is For:

  • Leaders, founders, or marketers who want a second set of eyes from someone who’s seen it all

  • Businesses and orgs who can’t afford another failed campaign or lost quarter

  • Anyone tired of agencies who just “yes” you to death

Why Book a Tear-Down?

  • I’ve fixed messes for brands, nonprofits, and campaigns you’ve heard of, and I won’t waste your time.

  • You get the truth, fast, and a path forward.

  • There’s no upsell, no retainer, and no commitment, unless you want more.

Investment:

$500

(1-hour live Zoom session; includes recording and written priority plan)

The 90-Day Narrative System

Best for nonprofit leaders responsible for fundraising who are tired of guessing what to say and need a system that works before their next campaign.

Most nonprofits don’t have a content problem.

They have a messaging problem.

You’re posting. You’re emailing. You’re running campaigns. But donations are inconsistent, your message shifts from one push to the next, and your team is working hard without clear results.

This system fixes that.

The 90-Day Narrative System is a full Core4 engagement designed to replace guesswork with clarity and build a communication system that actually drives donations.

Over 90 days, we:

  • Diagnose where your messaging is breaking down

  • Define a clear, consistent narrative your team can use

  • Align your content and campaigns around that message

  • Build a system that runs without constant reinvention

What you walk away with:

  • A locked messaging framework

  • A working content and campaign system

  • A 6-month editorial roadmap

  • A donor-focused email sequence

  • A structure you can explain to your board and execute with confidence

This is not consulting.

This is not a strategy document.

At day 90, your system is running.
