A Marketing Consultation That Ends With a Decision, Not Another Proposal to Weigh

One-off Marketing Consultation

Your inbox has three agency proposals sitting in it, and none tells you what to do first. One pitches a paid social campaign, another a website rebuild, a third an SEO retainer running for months. Each sounds reasonable, and you have no independent reference point to judge which move actually gets your business closer to its goal. This one-off marketing consultation exists for exactly that moment — when what you need isn't another proposal, but an hour with someone who looks at your situation from the outside and tells you plainly what makes sense.

This one-off marketing consultation exists for exactly that moment — when what you need isn't another proposal, but an hour with someone who looks at your situation from the outside and tells you plainly what makes sense.

You're comparing PDFs that each use different language, count success differently, and price the work on different logic. There's no one inside the company who evaluates marketing with any distance — often there's no marketing function at all.

The decision ends up resting not on which solution fits the business problem, but on whoever pitched it best. The cost of getting it wrong shows up months later, once the budget is spent and results haven't materialised. What's missing is a conversation with someone independent of those proposals, who can help set priorities before you sign anything.

The consultation is an hour with a marketing consultant, either in person in Kielce or online, working on a shared whiteboard you can see live. It's not a pitch for a ready-made package — it's working through your situation, point by point.

The conversation centres on what you've already done, what you're planning, and where the real risk sits — not on whatever the agency happens to sell.

Deston combines marketing and IT, so the consultant looks wider than a single channel — spotting whether the issue sits in the website, the sales process, or the messaging.

The consultant isn't there to sell you another Deston service. If the best answer is something we don't offer, you'll hear that directly.

What we don't do: we don't book a paid consultation once the free intake call has already told us we can't help. We say so at that point, plainly.

What You Actually Get

  • Clarity instead of more proposals to compareInstead of several PDFs built on different logic, you get one conversation that ranks them against your actual situation.
  • A priority instead of a list of ideasYou leave knowing what to do first and what can wait.
  • An argument for the board or your co-ownerThe written summary is a document you can use to justify the decision to people who also have to sign off.
  • Lower risk of an expensive misstepAn independent outside view lowers the risk of funding something that doesn't address the real problem.

Consultations are confidential, so we don't publish case studies or references from them — what you discuss stays between you and the consultant. Instead, we can show you a sample structure of the meeting and the intake brief.

Scope and Pricing

Price depends on the format — in person or online — the range of topics, and whether the consultant needs to prepare extra material beforehand. You learn the price before paying, after the intake call.

How it works:

  1. You fill in a short brief about your company and the topic.
  2. We hold a free intake call.
  3. We set out the scope and price for your case.
  4. The one-hour consultation takes place.
  5. You receive a written summary by email.

Our Guarantees

The right-call guarantee. If the free intake call tells us we can't help, we say so directly and won't book a paid session just to invoice you.

The deducted-cost guarantee. If you continue working with Deston afterwards, the cost of this hour is deducted from your first project.

The named-consultant guarantee. You know in advance who runs your consultation, by first and last name.

The written-record guarantee. After the meeting you get a written summary of what was agreed.

Availability

The number of slots in a given week is limited, because the consultant prepares for each meeting based on your brief — this isn't a conversation held cold.

Book Your Consultation

Fill in the short company brief and we'll arrange the free intake call — no obligation, no price quoted until we know we can help.

What Waiting Costs You

Every month without a clear priority is a month where marketing decisions get made by whichever salesperson called most recently, not by the business's actual situation.

In Short

An hour with a marketing consultant · preceded by a free intake call · price known before payment, after the intake call · written summary after the meeting · cost deducted from the first project if you continue working together · no fit means no paid consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the paid consultation and the free intake call?

The intake call checks whether we can help at all — no price, no commitment. The paid consultation is a full hour on your situation, ending with a written summary.

Does an online session work as well as meeting in person in Kielce?

Yes — both run on the same live shared whiteboard, and the scope of work is identical either way.

What exactly do I get in writing afterwards?

A written summary emailed after the consultation, recording what you discussed, so you're not relying on your own notes.

Can I book just the consultation without committing to further work?

Yes, it's a standalone service. Continuing with Deston afterwards is possible, never a condition.

Does this make sense for a company that's just starting out?

Yes, as long as you want priorities sorted before investing. The intake call tells us whether we can help at that stage.

Can I book another consultation later?

Yes, whenever a new topic arises.

Does the consultant prepare before the meeting?

Yes, based on your brief, so the hour is spent entirely on your situation.
