The engagement runs in three tracks that operate in parallel through the six-month term.
TRACK 1 · POSITIONING AND MESSAGING
Review of current positioning, competitive audit, and a written positioning brief the team can use across web, sales, and content. Includes messaging house and proof-point library workshops.
TRACK 2 · GO-TO-MARKET REVIEW
Deep dive on channels, funnel stages, and lifecycle. Consultant produces a written GTM assessment with the top three bets to double down on and the top three to sunset or reshape.
TRACK 3 · OPERATING RHYTHM
Design of quarterly planning, weekly stand-up, and monthly review rituals. The Consultant sits in on the first two cycles of each ritual to coach the marketing lead in running them independently.
Not included: hands-on production, media buying, campaign execution, hiring services, and interim leadership responsibilities. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Marketing Consultancy Contract template is a five-page document for putting the arrangement on paper before it starts. It carries a cover, a parties and purpose page with stat cards, a scope or terms section broken into three tracks with obligations, a fees or reference table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, adjust the terms to match your engagement, and set the numbers. Merge fields handle the party names and date, and the last page collects the details you asked for, an authorization checkbox, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
