Is the first conversation free?
The first conversation is there to understand the situation and assess whether the conditions exist to work together. It isn’t a full audit or free operational consulting.
How I workContact
Describe how your company works, which activities are already running and where you are running into difficulty. I read the information personally to understand if and how I can be useful.
For a structured enquiry: you give me the context and I come prepared to the first conversation.

You don’t need a polished brief. What helps is understanding the business model, what is already running, the results you are seeing and what you think is limiting growth.
Process
I don’t prepare a standard proposal before understanding the context. The first conversation is there to assess the problem, the priorities and the kind of contribution needed.
I read the information personally: it doesn’t go through a sales filter.
If the project is something I can help with, I propose a first conversation.
It’s used to understand the business, the available data and the problem you are seeing.
Scope and priorities are defined only after understanding the situation.
When it makes sense
This isn’t a list of requirements: these are the situations where my contribution tends to be most concrete.

Direct answers

How I workYes, mostly on monthly assignments. Contracts stay flexible and the collaboration can generally be ended with 30 days’ notice.
How a collaboration worksYes. If the scope is clear, I can handle account management alone. I will still flag when the problem comes from tracking, the website or internal processes, because in that case working only on campaigns won’t solve it.
Google Ads and paid mediaYes, including outside hospitality and travel, when senior and continuous marketing leadership is needed without a full-time hire.
Experience and rolesYes. The listed industries are those with the deepest experience, but I consider projects from other fields when the problem involves Google Ads, measurement, MarTech, CRO, lead generation or marketing leadership.
The industriesRevenue-share arrangements are possible but need a specific agreement, with verifiable data and clear ownership of what influences the result.
How assignments are set upWhat you sell, which marketing activities are running, the results you are seeing and where you think the problem is. If you already have data on costs and conversions it helps, but it isn’t essential.
Where I startYes. I work in Italian and English, across European and US markets: in the CMO role I look after marketing for ten hotels in the United States.
Markets and experienceI don’t promise results before understanding the context. What I can do is help you see which data, processes and decisions need to be analysed to locate the problem.
