What our clients say
Emma, CEO - MYWW

I really wish I had met Charlotte 12 months ago as I knew I wanted to get to a smarter approach to my agency marketing but I just couldn't work it out by myself.

In just a few weeks she has already elevated our marketing/sales activity by 1000%. She is easy to work with, generous with her knowledge and insights - highly recommended.

Kate, CSD - Magpie

I’ve flipping loved working through this toolkit Charlotte so brilliantly put together.

It’s simple, super informative and no messing - perfect for what we need.

I whizzed through it and am looking forward to implementing the ideas into the business from today.

Debbie, Head of Marketing - Bulletproof

When starting a new marketing activity, whether you’re a small or large agency, it pays to use the insight of someone who’s been there many times before.

That’s what Charlotte offered us at Bulletproof, and why we continue to work together.

How Much are Toolkits?

Individual Toolkits: 

If you just need to ace a single topic, be it getting press for your projects, becoming a published author of opinion pieces, writing a winning award entry (to name a few topics) then this is the best option for you.

All priced at £250 to be affordable to the smallest, earliest stage agencies, individual toolkits are a one-time investment (not a subscription) and give you lifetime access to the content. 

The Complete Kaffeen Toolkit: 

If you need to tackle more than one topic, have hired a marketing bod and need to train them, or review and refresh your existing agency marketing strategy, you'll want y take a closer look at the complete toolkit.

This is a one-time investment (not a subscription) and gives you lifetime access to the content. This price to new students rises roughly bi-annually, as and when we add more content into the course. So get it before it goes up!
