Consulting & Training

Operational expertise transferred to your team - so they can maintain, extend, and trust the systems we build together.

An internal team that understands the systems it operates is more valuable than one that depends on an agency to make every change.

Consulting and training engagements with Tactical Marketing are structured around knowledge transfer - not dependency. Whether we're advising on a specific operational challenge, training a new hire on an inherited platform, or upskilling a team that's growing into more sophisticated operations, the goal is the same: your team leaves more capable than it arrived.

Our Approach

Consulting sessions are scoped conversations - specific challenges, specific platforms, specific decision points - with a practitioner who has operated the same systems at scale.

Training engagements are structured programs built around your actual stack, your actual programs, and the operational standards your team needs to maintain them. We document everything. Session notes, process guides, decision frameworks - the materials that make the training stick after the engagement ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the training generic platform instruction, or built around our actual setup?

Built around your stack, your programs, and your operational standards - because generic platform training already exists and mostly doesn't stick. A new hire doesn't need a tour of every menu; they need to understand how your instance is configured, why it's configured that way, and what the governance rules are before they change anything. Training sessions work from your live environment, and the materials we leave behind - process guides, runbooks, decision frameworks - are specific to your operation.

Can you train a single new hire, or do you only run team-wide programs?

Both. Onboarding a single marketing ops hire onto an inherited platform is one of the most common engagements - it compresses the six months of archaeology a new operator normally spends reverse-engineering an undocumented instance into a structured program. Team-wide training makes sense when the whole group is stepping up to more sophisticated operations or absorbing a new platform. Scope follows the actual need, not a packaged curriculum.

How are consulting sessions structured and priced - retainer or per session?

Either. Scoped consulting sessions are available as standalone engagements - a specific challenge, a specific platform decision, a specific hour with a practitioner who has operated the same systems at scale. Ongoing advisory retainers make sense when the team wants recurring access rather than one-off answers. Every session ends with documented notes and recommendations, so the value doesn't evaporate when the call ends.
