What Our Clients Say

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help develop the capability of our existing marketing team?

Absolutely. Building stronger marketing capability is a core part of what Flock Effect does. Through The Marketing Residency, workshops, mentoring and strategic advisory, Kirsten helps teams strengthen their skills, confidence and decision-making so they can operate more effectively and independently.

No. Flock Effect works with organisations of all sizes. Some clients have established marketing teams, while others have only one or two marketers. The approach is tailored to the structure, maturity and needs of each business.

The program is typically designed for marketers stepping into greater responsibility, influence and leadership within their organisation. While many participants are Marketing Managers and Senior Marketing Managers, the program can be tailored to suit marketers at different stages of their professional development.

Fractional marketing support provides access to experienced marketing leadership without the cost and commitment of a full-time executive hire. It’s ideal for organisations navigating growth, change, capability gaps or short-term leadership needs.

That depends on the challenge you’re trying to solve. Some clients need strategic advisory and an experienced sounding board. Others want to strengthen team capability through The Marketing Residency or workshops. Some require short-term fractional leadership. The best place to start is a conversation about your goals, challenges and priorities.

No. We work alongside your people and partners to strengthen performance, not take over. Our role is to bring senior judgment, refine priorities and make the work land better.

Anything that benefits from senior leadership: rebrands, strategic resets, capability reviews, campaign oversight, planning and ongoing advisory. Some clients engage us for one project; others keep us involved long-term as their on-call senior partner.

Most training programs focus on knowledge transfer. The Marketing Residency focuses on personalised application. Participants learn in the context of their actual roles, businesses and challenges, with ongoing coaching and support that help turn knowledge into stronger performance and better outcomes.
