Know what to do next with your marketing, without hiring a marketing manager
One working session a month with Hai Pham, and a 90-day plan in writing. Do the work yourself, or hand any part of it to our team. Even if the last agency left you doing everything yourself anyway.
Start with one paid Diagnosis. Keep going monthly only if it's useful. No contract.
- 1 session a month
- A 90-day plan in writing
- Month to month
Lots of advice, no plan you can act on
"20k is not worthy. I still need to do everything by myself. I am struggling to get sales and the only advise is to spend more on ads"
Business owner, Australia, ProductReview.com.au
"I'm a one man band car body repairer so I'm constantly at the unit trying to earn an honest living ... getting time to sit in front of a computer for hours creating online content is tough."

"... unlike an agency, every single client matters to him."
Business owner, US, Reddit, on hiring one marketer instead of an agency
Most small businesses don't need a bigger agency. They need someone senior to look at the numbers with them, decide the next 3 moves, and be there next month to check.
A 90-day plan built around your business, not a template
- Your numbers, read before we meet. Google Business Profile, website visits, ad accounts and enquiries, checked ahead of each session.
- Where customers drop off. The step where people stop: not finding you, not trusting you, or not managing to book.
- The next 3 moves. Ranked by effort and likely effect, with who does each one.
- A 90-day plan in writing. One page per month, updated after every session.
- What you can do yourself. The parts that don't need anyone paid.
- Straight answers. Ask anything, including "should I fire my agency?"
It's a working session, not a lecture
In 60 minutes on a video call, you and Hai work on your own business, on your own screen.
By the end of each session you have:
- the 3 things to do this month, and who does each one
- your 90-day plan, updated
- a short note of anything to check, fix or stop paying for
Hai prepares, runs the session and writes the plan himself. Between sessions you can send questions by email; we reply within 1 business day. Up to 5 email questions a month are included.
Is there a catch?
Yes. For this to be worth your money you'll need:
- About 2 to 4 hours a month to do your part of the plan, or a budget to hand it to someone.
- Read access to your Google Business Profile, website analytics and any ad accounts, so we look at real numbers. We ask for access, never passwords.
- One person in your business who decides.
What it isn't: Hai doesn't run your marketing day to day, manage your staff or promise more customers. If you need someone running a team every week, a fractional CMO is the better fit, and the table below shows what that costs.
Nothing is changed in your accounts unless you say so.
Advisor, fractional CMO or hire: what each costs
A fractional CMO is a senior marketer who works for you part-time, usually a set number of hours or days a month, and often manages people and budgets. A monthly advisor gives you 1 session and a plan; you or a team does the work. Different jobs, so compare what you need, not just the price.
| Australia | United Kingdom | United States | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATAVORA monthly advisory (1 session + 90-day plan) | A$599 / month | £299 / month | US$390 / month |
| Fractional marketing lead, published starting prices | from AUD 2,000 / month for 8 hours, plus GST (1 provider) | £1,000 to £7,000 / month, middle £3,000 (5 providers) | US$1,500 / month for 15 hours (1 provider); strategy retainers US$1,500 to US$8,500, middle US$3,450 (7 providers) |
| Hiring in-house: marketing specialist or executive, total employer cost a year | about AUD 112,000 (AUD 100,000 median salary + 12% super) | about £40,400 (£35,046 median salary + employer NI + pension) | about US$113,000 to US$115,000 (US$78,760 median pay + benefits share) |
| Hiring in-house: marketing manager | about AUD 156,800 (AUD 140,000 + 12% super) | about £66,100 (£56,950 + NI + pension) | US$166,790 median pay, before benefits |
These are published starting prices and salary medians from October 2026. An employee does far more than one session a month; the point is to show the range, not to claim you'd get the same thing for less.
Who you'll be working with
Hai Pham founded ATAVORA. From 2012 to 2019 he was a project development director on large resort and residential developments in Vietnam, where the work started with market research and ended with briefing the marketing and sales teams. He has worked in online marketing since 2015, full time since 2019, and has built more than 120 websites. From 2021 to 2025 he taught online marketing to business owners, and many of them still could not put it into practice on their own, so he now does the work alongside them.
What he took from the big projects: understand the market first, shape the offer second, advertise last. Small businesses need the same order, at their own size. More about ATAVORA and how we work.
