For social enterprises · NGOs · impact-driven brands

Digital marketing consulting for social enterprises that don't know where to start.

A 2-hour session for €200. By the end of it, you walk out knowing what to do, when to do it, and how — built around your mission, not against it.

No retainer. No upsell. If we're not a fit, we'll know in the first 15 minutes — and you keep the rest of the time anyway.

02 · The problem

If you don't know what to do with marketing, when to do it, or how — you're not behind. You're where most social enterprises are.

You've probably been here for a while. You know your organisation should be doing more with marketing. You've thought about ads. You've been told to start a newsletter. Someone suggested TikTok. Someone else said you need SEO. You've maybe even hired a freelancer or talked to an agency, and either it didn't work or you couldn't tell whether it worked or not.

The actual problem isn't that you haven't found the right channel. It's that nobody has helped you decide what your marketing should be doing in the first place.

That's not a failure on your part. Most social enterprises run lean. The founder is the marketer by default. The board doesn't have a marketing person. The team you'd love to hire is six rounds of fundraising away. So the marketing decisions get made one freelancer recommendation at a time — and somewhere along the way you've spent budget on things you can't measure, with no clear sense of whether it moved the needle on anything that matters.

What's missing isn't more execution. It's a 2-hour conversation with someone senior who's done this before — for organisations like yours.
03 · What this actually is

One session. Two hours. €200. You walk out with everything you need.

This isn't a retainer. It isn't a sales call. It isn't a pitch deck. It's a single, structured 2-hour video session — and at the end of it, you have the materials, structure, and guidelines to actually start moving on your marketing.

Here's what that means in practice. We get on a call. I ask you the right questions. We map your situation against your mission, your budget, and your audience. By the end, you'll have a clear, prioritised plan — focused on the low-hanging fruit you can act on tomorrow, plus the bigger initiatives worth investing in over the next few months. You take screenshots. You take notes. You take it all with you.

If you want to keep working with me afterwards, you can. If you want to take the plan and run it yourself, you can. If you want to hand the plan to the freelancer you already have, you can. The plan is yours either way.

04 · What we cover

What we actually do in the session.

Two hours feels short until you realise we're not pitching anything. Every minute is spent on your situation.

Where you are now

What you've already tried, what's currently running (if anything), what you've spent, what worked, what didn't. We start by getting honest about the baseline.

What your marketing should actually be doing

Most social enterprises don't have a clear answer to this. We figure it out: are you trying to acquire customers, donors, leads, programme participants, or awareness? What does success look like in numbers your board would recognise? This is the conversation that makes everything afterwards easier.

Which channels make sense — and which don't

Google Ads, Pinterest, Meta, LinkedIn, SEO, email, content. We go through them. I tell you which ones fit your situation and which ones to ignore for now. You'll be surprised how often “ignore for now” is the right answer.

Where to spend your first euro (or your next thousand)

Specific, prioritised recommendations. The low-hanging fruit you can act on tomorrow. The bigger initiatives worth planning for. What NOT to spend on, with reasons.

The action plan

By the end, you'll have a clear list of what to do first, what to do next, and what to leave alone. You can hand this to your team, your freelancer, or your future self.

05 · After the call

What happens after the 2 hours is up to you.

I don't sell a retainer at the end of the session. I sell a session. After it, you choose:

Path 01

Take the plan and run with it

You walk away with everything you need. Hand it to your team, your freelancer, or implement it yourself. We're done. No retainer, no contract, no obligation. This is the most common path, and it's the right one for a lot of organisations.

No further engagement
Path 02

Keep me in the loop

If you want a senior brain to call when you're not sure what to do next, we can set up regular sparring sessions. Monthly or bi-weekly, lighter touch than a retainer. Useful when you have someone executing but no senior steering.

Light-touch sparring
Path 03

Have me run it

If the plan calls for me to take over Google Ads, Pinterest, or another channel, I can — through my regular account management or strategy & projects services. We'd talk about whether that fits before you commit to anything.

Ongoing engagement

All three paths are real. None of them are pushed. The session is the product.

06 · Why this works

I'm not a generic consultant who happens to also like sustainability.

Maximilian Platz

I'm Maximilian. I run Grow With Purpose. I've spent the last decade in performance marketing — managing Google Ads accounts with monthly budgets between €5,000 and €200,000, across ecommerce, B2B, and lead generation. I know the channels, the tools, and the metrics that actually matter.

I also have a Master's degree in Social Entrepreneurship, and I've spent the last several years specialising in clients whose business models exist for reasons other than maximising shareholder return. Fair fashion brands. Regenerative food. Climate tech. NGOs. Direct-to-consumer brands with a mission, B2B services with an impact angle, fundraising-driven nonprofits.

That combination is rarer than it should be. Most performance marketers haven't thought about how a B Corp's metrics differ from a venture-backed DTC brand's. Most mission-aligned consultants haven't run a €100k/month Google Ads account.

If you're a social enterprise looking for marketing advice from someone who actually understands your context — that's the gap I sit in. I'm based in Denmark, I work with clients across Europe, the UK, and North America, and I run Grow With Purpose as a one-person consultancy on purpose: no agency margin, no junior handing-off-to-junior, no “account team” that doesn't actually do the work.

You hire me; I do the work.

08 · Common questions

Common questions.

Q1Are we too small for this?
If you're a social enterprise, NGO, or impact-driven brand at any stage — pre-revenue, early-stage, or established — this is built for you. The whole point of the €200 price is that it's reachable for organisations that can't afford a multi-thousand-euro consulting engagement. If you can't justify €200 to figure out what to do with your marketing, that's also useful information — and you'd save it by not booking.
Q2Are we too big for this?
Probably not, but possibly. If you have a senior in-house marketing leader and a multi-channel team executing well, you don't need this — you need execution, not direction. If you're somewhere between 'founder doing it on the side' and 'we have a junior marketer or freelancer but no senior steering', this is for you.
Q3What do I need to prepare?
Nothing required. If you have it, send me ahead of time: a sentence or two about your organisation, what you've tried with marketing already, your monthly marketing budget if you have one, and what you're hoping to get out of the session. If you don't have any of that, we'll figure it out in the first 15 minutes.
Q4What if I don't like the session?
You've spent €200 and 2 hours. That's a small bet. Most consulting engagements cost 10–50× that just to start. The price is set deliberately so the risk of 'this doesn't help me' is small enough that you can afford to find out.
Q5What channels do you cover?
Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Demand Gen), Microsoft Ads, Pinterest, Meta, LinkedIn, plus the SEO and conversion-rate fundamentals that determine whether any paid traffic actually converts. The session covers whichever of these are relevant to your situation — usually two or three, not all of them.
Q6Can my co-founder / colleague / board chair join?
Yes. Bring up to two people. More than that and the conversation becomes a group call, which is a different format. If you'd like to do this with a board or full team, we'd structure it as a workshop instead — that's a different engagement.
Q7Is this session different from your other services?
Yes. My ongoing services (Account Management, Consulting & Coaching, Strategy & Projects) assume you already know roughly what you want to do. This session is for organisations that don't know yet. It's the conversation that comes before you decide whether to hire someone for ongoing work — me or anyone else.
Q8How fast can we book?
Usually within 1–2 weeks. I take on a small number of new clients each quarter, and the calendar fills in cycles. If the next available slot is too far out, I'll say so and we can decide together whether to wait or part ways amicably.
Q9Why is it only €200?
Two reasons. First, the audience this is built for — small social enterprises and NGOs — often can't justify a four-figure consulting fee. Pricing it accessibly is the whole point. Second, the work isn't open-ended: it's a defined 2-hour session with a defined output. Open-ended consulting costs more because the scope is open. This isn't.

09 · Why now

A note on capacity.

I take on a small number of new clients each quarter. That's not a marketing line — it's the actual constraint of being a one-person consultancy that does the work itself.

If you've read this far and the offer fits, the practical advice is: book the session while there's still a slot in the next month or two. If the calendar is full, I'll say so on the booking page and we'll figure out the right thing from there.

There's no countdown timer. There's no urgency tactic. Just the reality that the calendar is finite.

10 · Book the session

2 hours. €200. A plan you can actually use.
