You Already Know Something Is Wrong

Your product is better than how it looks

Your pitch deck works when you present it but dies when it gets forwarded

Sponsors show interest then go quiet because they cannot see the commercial value

You keep losing deals you should be winning and you cannot work out why.

The agency took 3 months to deliver a deck nobody used. The freelancer executes what you ask but cannot tell you what to ask for. None of them were fast enough to solve it while the window was still open.

25 Roles. 1 Operator.

Three Ways In

Brand Relevance Audit | Free

45 minute call. 1 page diagnosis within 48 hours. You walk away knowing the problem whether you work with us or not.

OS Sprint | £5,000

1 problem. 4 deliverables. 7 days.

OS Programme | From £15,000

3 work streams. 12 deliverables. Your entire commercial marketing solved in one engagement.

What Lands On Your Desk

  • A commercial narrative a sponsor can forward to their board without you in the room

  • A positioning document that makes your next hire understand the brand in ten minutes

  • Investor materials that close without a follow up deck

  • Launch plans with every step sequenced and every deadline mapped

Nothing requires interpretation. Nothing requires a second round of briefing.

Who This Is For

  • Founders building challenger sports formats who need a commercial narrative ready for investors

  • Founders in motorsport, golf, sailing and luxury automotive whose marketing is not keeping up with the product

  • Sports tech founders 6 to 12 months from a raise with positioning that is not yet ready

  • Sports properties backed by institutional capital under commercial pressure they were not built to absorb

  • Passion project founders who want a peer conversation, not a pitch

How It Works

1. Book Free Audit

A 45 minute call. You talk about your business. Within 48 hours you receive a one page written diagnosis that names the constraint. This is where most people realise the problem is not what they thought it was.

2. Choose Engagement

If the audit surfaces something worth solving, you choose the Sprint or the Programme. The Sprint solves one problem in seven days. The Programme solves three. Scope is agreed before work begins.

3. Receive Output

Deliverables arrive ready to use. Commercial materials ready to deploy. Strategy documents ready to present. Positioning ready to publish. The speed is not a gimmick. It is the product.

You Are Not the First Company to Have This Problem

Formula E. SailGP. T100. E1 Series. RunGP.

  • A billion video views across global campaigns

  • 80+ sporting events sold out across 30 countries

  • £500,000 in earned media on zero paid spend

A career spent inside the room where these decisions get made. Not outside it writing reports about them.

The only difference now is speed.

 FAQs

  • An agency takes weeks to onboard, charges monthly retainers and delivers recommendations. The OS produces finished deliverables in days at a fixed price.

  • A senior marketing hire costs £100,000 a year, takes three months to onboard and may still not diagnose your problem in the first conversation. The OS delivers in days.

  • Finished documents. Commercial narratives, positioning, pitch materials, launch strategies, competitive analyses. Output your team can use immediately without a second round of briefing.

  • The Sprint exists for exactly this. One problem. Four deliverables. Seven days. £2,500.

  • Your materials close. Your story makes sense to people who were not in the room when you told it. Your sponsors, investors and partners see the commercial value that was always there but never communicated properly.

  • Some clients are done. The problems are solved and the materials are built. Others want ongoing access. That conversation happens after delivery, not before.
