Marketing Consultancy

I am Guido Smit,

A seasoned marketing consultant who knows how to make strategy work. I blend strategic insight with practical execution to help corporates and multinationals turn plans into real results.

Here’s what sets me apart:

1. Prioritize Proof

I focus on proven strategies instead of losing myself in shiny new tactics. No worries, there’s room for experimentation and ‘being first’ can sometimes be useful, but effectiveness should always be your ultimate goal.

1. Strategy That Moves

I don’t just design strategies, I make them move. No slide decks gathering dust. It’s about execution, momentum, and results that stick.

2. Marketing, not just advertising

Too often, marketing gets reduced to advertising. Sure, it’s part of the game, but only a small slice. Real marketing is about understanding your customers, defining what you offer and making sure it truly fits the market. That’s where the real impact is made.

3. Navigating Complex Organizations

I know corporates and multinationals inside out. Over a decade of experience taught me how to get up to speed quickly, connect with the right people, and win support at every level.
