Engagements
Three shapes. Published scope.
Clear timelines. Named deliverables. No discovery deck. Pick the shape that matches the decision in front of you — or tell me on a fit call and I’ll tell you which one fits.
2–4 weeks · single engagement
Decision Sprint.
One high-stakes decision. Two to four weeks. A board-ready memo that ranks your options, stress-tests each against your real constraints, and gives you a defensible recommendation with a 30-day execution plan.
What you get
- Decision framing doc (day 3) — one-sentence decision, target audience, success criteria
- Each option simulated against real audience behaviour through MusicDatak and MediaDatak
- Ranked-options matrix with risk and reversibility
- Board-ready decision memo + presentation deck
- 30-day execution plan with named owners
- Optional board Q&A (live or async)
Best for
- Pre-commitment moves: M&A, format flips, launches, monetization pivots
- Executive teams split on direction and running out of runway
- Boards that need a defensible second opinion before a vote
90 days · 3 milestones
90-Day Growth Program.
A quarter of disciplined experiments that compound. Built for owner-operators and mid-sized groups where every month has to pay for itself. Monthly milestones, weekly scoreboards, measured impact on revenue and audience.
What you get
- Month 1 — diagnostic: audience, revenue, content, team, tech
- Three prioritized experiments with success metrics
- Monthly experiment cycles tested via MusicDatak & MediaDatak
- Weekly scoreboards reviewed with leadership
- Month 3 — codified playbook, next-quarter plan, measured P&L impact
- Optional retainer hand-off into Advisory
Best for
- Owner-led and mid-sized media businesses on a plateau
- Leaders preparing for sale, investment, or succession
- Teams that need a tempo, not a deck
Retainer · 6-mo minimum
Executive & Board Advisory.
A standing voice in the room when the stakes are highest. For CEOs, chairs, and boards that need an independent point of view on the biggest moves — available monthly, plus on-call for acute decisions.
What you get
- Monthly 1:1 with the CEO, chair, or principal
- Attendance at quarterly board meetings (remote or in person)
- On-call availability for acute decisions within 48 hours
- Board-ready reporting each cycle
- Two Decision Sprints per year included in the retainer
Best for
- CEOs and chairs who want an outside read before the room hardens
- Boards navigating transformation, market entry, or succession
- Principals without a peer network of media operators
Practical questions
How it actually runs.
What languages can a Sprint run in?
English or French. Board presentations delivered in either.
Do you work solo or with a team?
Solo on the intellectual work — one name signs the memo. The MusicDatak and MediaDatak teams support the modeling infrastructure. You don’t pay for a pyramid.
What does a typical Sprint week look like?
Two structured sessions per week with your leadership, plus async daily progress notes. Live scenario review mid-Sprint. Final memo handoff in a 90-minute session with optional board Q&A.
Is there a money-back provision?
Yes. If at day 7 you decide the Sprint is not the right shape, we stop and refund the remaining balance. Nobody wants a bad fit on the books.
Book the fit call.
20 minutes. No pitch. We test whether one of these three shapes fits your decision — and if not, I’ll point you somewhere that does.
