Marketing & AI Consultancy
Astriss Advisory
Software shows you where you're losing visibility. Advisory is the part where someone works out what to do about it. A blended marketing and AI consultancy for businesses rebuilding how they get found, chosen, and remembered.

Why now
Your buyers changed how they decide. Most marketing functions haven't caught up.
Buyers started asking AI assistants instead of search engines and getting a shortlist of three, not a page of ten. Content became free to produce, so volume stopped being a strategy. And every team was handed AI tools with no view on which parts of the job they should actually be doing.
The result is a lot of activity and not much compounding. More content, less distinctiveness. More tools, less clarity. More reporting, fewer decisions
Found
If an AI assistant can't confidently describe what you do and who you're for, it won't recommend you. That's a structural content and entity problem, not a copywriting one.
Chosen
Visibility without a sharp position just gets you compared and rejected faster. We do the unglamorous work: who you're actually for, what you're actually better at, and what to stop saying.
Operated
AI is only useful where it removes a real constraint. We map where it earns its place in your marketing function and where it's quietly making the work worse.
Capability
Two disciplines, one engagement
Marketing Consultancy
- 01Positioning, messaging and category definition
- 02ICP definition and buyer journey mapping
- 03Channel strategy and budget allocation
- 04Content strategy built for AI retrieval, not keyword volume
- 05Marketing measurement that survives contact with a finance team
- 06Brand and narrative work for founder-led businesses
AI Consultancy
- 01AI readiness assessment across the marketing function
- 02Generative engine visibility strategy
- 03Workflow redesign — where AI removes a constraint and where it doesn't
- 04Tool selection, stack rationalisation and cost control
- 05Prompt systems, brand context files and internal AI standards
- 06Team enablement and AI governance for marketing teams
Most engagements start on one side and end up needing both. That's the point, buying them separately from two suppliers is how you end up with an AI strategy that contradicts your marketing plan.
Method
Diagnose. Decide. Do. Then get out of the way.
- 01
Diagnose
We audit where you show up across AI answer engines and search, what your positioning actually communicates, and where your marketing operation is losing time. You get a written findings document, not a deck of platitudes.
- 02
Decide
A prioritised plan with a small number of things that matter, sequenced. Every recommendation has an owner, a cost, and a way to tell whether it worked.
- 03
Do
We work alongside your team through implementation — writing, building, rebuilding process, sitting in the meetings. Advisory is not a report-and-invoice practice.
- 04
Hand back
Every engagement is designed to end. You keep the playbooks, prompt systems, measurement framework and standards. Ongoing input is because it's worth it, not because you're stuck.
Engagements
Four ways to work together
- Fixed price · ~2 weeks
Visibility & AI Readiness Audit
A structured diagnostic of how you show up across AI answer engines, how your positioning reads to both humans and models, and where AI could realistically improve your marketing operation. Written findings plus a 90-minute walkthrough.
Best for: anyone who wants a clear picture before committing to anything.
- From £1,450
- Day rate · ad hoc
Strategy Day
A full working day with your team. Positioning workshop, AI workflow design, channel planning, or a board-level session on what AI actually changes for your business. You get the working output, not minutes.
Best for: teams with a decision to make, and founders who need a sounding board.
- £1,400 per day
- Fixed price · 6 weeks
Growth Sprint
A scoped programme with a defined outcome: rebuild positioning, stand up an AI-native content operation, redesign the marketing stack, or launch a GEO visibility programme. Weekly sessions, hands-on delivery.
Best for: businesses that know what's broken and want it fixed on a timeline.
- From £4,500
- Monthly · 3-month min.
Advisory Retainer
Ongoing senior marketing and AI leadership without a full-time hire. Standing sessions, async access, quarterly planning and hands-on work on whatever matters that month. A fractional CMO who also understands the machine layer.
Best for: businesses growing faster than their marketing function.
- From £2,950 /mo
Fit
Built for businesses that have to be found before they can be chosen
Independent professionals
Consultants, coaches and specialists whose next client is currently asking an AI for a recommendation. The Audit plus a Strategy Day is usually the whole engagement — and usually enough.
Founder-led
You're the marketing department. The problem isn't effort, it's that everything is urgent and nothing compounds. We build the small number of things that do.
No CMO yet
Revenue is growing, marketing is a collection of tactics, and hiring a CMO is six months and £120k+ away. A retainer gives you the thinking now and buys time to hire properly.
Marketing leaders
You have a team, a budget and a board asking what your AI strategy is. We give you a defensible answer and the operating model to back it up.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Start with a conversation, not a contract
A 30-minute call to work out whether there's a real problem here worth solving — and whether we're the right people to solve it. No deck.
Better together
The software and the strategy solve different halves of the problem
Astriss Scope tells you exactly where your brand is cited, ignored, or misrepresented across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Advisory is what happens next: deciding which gaps are worth closing, rebuilding the content that closes them, and making sure the rest of your marketing points the same direction.
