The firm

That the marketing worth paying for is the part you still have afterwards. Everything about how the firm is set up — the fee model, the size, the way work is handed over — follows from that.

A stake is a share you hold. Not a slot you rent.
Stake Consulting Ltd is registered in England and Wales and works with businesses across the United Kingdom. The firm exists because of an imbalance we kept meeting: marketing budgets that were almost entirely rented, held together by one or two advertising accounts, with nothing underneath them that would survive a bad quarter.
Nobody chooses that. It accumulates. Rented spend is easy to approve, reports quickly and scales with a slider. Owned work is slow, needs cooperation from people outside marketing and attributes badly even when it is obviously working. So the ratio drifts, one sensible decision at a time, until the business has no floor.
Our work is the unglamorous correction of that. We build the parts you keep — the pages, the site, the list, the documented decisions — and we use advertising to accelerate them rather than to stand in for them. It is a slower story to tell in a first quarterly review and a considerably better one to tell in the third year.
We are deliberately not an agency. There is no new business team, no account manager relaying messages, and no percentage-of-spend arrangement quietly rewarding us for recommending a bigger budget. The person who scopes your work is the person who does it, and they will tell you when it should stop.

How the firm is arranged
Four decisions that shape everything else.
Small, and staying that way
We hold the number of engagements one senior team can keep in its head. Growth for us means better work on fewer accounts, not more accounts staffed more thinly, and we decline work rather than dilute it.
No commissions, from anyone
We take no rebate, referral fee or partner commission from any platform, agency or software vendor. When we recommend a tool, the only thing we gain is a client who is glad we did.
Everything created in your name
Accounts, containers, cloud projects and documents are made inside your organisation from the first week. Our access is granted by you and can be revoked by you without our involvement.
Built to be handed over
Templates, briefs, definitions and decisions are written down as we go, because an engagement should leave your team more capable rather than more dependent.
Who calls us
Four moments, rather than four industries.
We have worked in retail, professional services, healthcare and software, and the sector has mattered less each time than the moment the business was in when it called.
One capable person is no longer enough surface area.
It worked for two years. Now the site, the search presence, the email programme and the ad accounts each need someone who has seen a hundred of them, and no single generalist can hold that. The usual next step is a full agency retainer, which is a large jump in cost for a lot of coordination you did not ask for.
What we would look at
- An honest read on what is already good enough
- Specialist attention only where it changes something
- A structure your existing person can keep running
- No handover of everything just because something changed

Tell us what you have and we will send back an independent read: which parts would still be working if the advertising stopped, which would not, and what we would build first. No obligation attached to any of it.
