Founders and leadership teams of established, revenue-generating fashion brands, from scaling businesses through to larger multi-channel operations, who want senior commercial guidance as they grow. Clients work with us from across Australia and internationally, including the US and UK.

Senior commercial guidance across the whole business, not just one part of it. That includes business and financial strategy, brand positioning, marketing and sales, product and range strategy, sourcing and merchandise planning, along with the team structure and operating rhythm that hold it all together. The focus is on clear priorities and sound execution rather than more activity.

Most begin with The Fashion Business Growth Roadmap, a six to eight week review built on our Growth Readiness Index. It looks across the whole business, identifies what is holding growth back and sets out a prioritised 12-month plan. For more focused questions or quick wins, a 90 Minute Strategy Session is a good place to start, or a Strategic Intensive, which includes two two-hour sessions.

Many clients continue with Ongoing Strategic Advisory, a monthly retainer with regular sessions and support in between, so the plan is executed and adjusted as trading changes. Advisory relationships typically run from three months up to 18 months.

Clients often tell us they have never had support like it. Elizabeth becomes a genuine partner in the business, invested in its success and available between sessions when decisions can’t wait. You also gain access to our extensive network of industry professionals and connections.

Each engagement is scoped to the business. The Growth Roadmap is a fixed fee and Ongoing Strategic Advisory is a monthly retainer. Elizabeth will outline the investment clearly once she understands where your business is and what you need.
