Marketing Consultant Brisbane
Expert Marketing and AI Consulting to Power Your Next Phase of Growth.
When you’re facing a complex marketing challenge, you need more than advice — you need experienced, strategic support that drives results.
At Substrate, our senior consultants help businesses define marketing problems clearly, uncover opportunities, and design solutions that deliver profitable growth.
We also offer specialised AI marketing consulting — helping businesses assess AI readiness, map opportunities, design solutions, and build bespoke agentic AI systems. From team training to full implementation and support, we help you lead the AI transformation, not chase it.
If you're scaling your marketing team or need executive-level expertise without the full-time cost, our Fractional CMO services provide tailored, high-impact leadership aligned to your business goals.
At Substrate, we deliver commercial clarity, marketing firepower, and future-ready solutions — without the big-agency overhead.
What is a Marketing Consultant?
A marketing consultant is a seasoned expert who helps businesses solve marketing challenges and accelerate growth. Drawing on deep industry experience and up-to-date knowledge of strategies and trends, they assess your current efforts, uncover opportunities, and design solutions tailored to your commercial goals.
The right consultant doesn’t just advise — they drive measurable improvements in lead generation, brand visibility, and revenue growth.
What is a Fractional CMO?
A Fractional CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) or Head of Marketing (HoM) is a senior marketing leader who partners with your business on a part-time or project basis to provide strategic direction and leadership.
They bring executive-level expertise to build and manage marketing strategies that drive real growth — helping you scale faster, improve ROI, and gain the advantage of seasoned leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire.
With a Fractional CMO, you get the insights, experience, and accountability of a true marketing executive — exactly when and where your business needs it.
The New Frontier: AI-Driven Growth for SMBs
AI isn’t the future of marketing — it’s already here, reshaping how businesses find, engage, and serve customers.
For small and medium-sized businesses, AI offers a rare competitive advantage: the ability to unlock enterprise-level capabilities — without enterprise-level budgets.
At Substrate, we don’t just talk about AI. We help service-based SMBs understand it, implement it, and lead with it — safely, strategically, and profitably.
What AI Can Do for Your Business
-
Automate repetitive marketing tasks — from content creation to client follow-ups.
-
Personalise customer journeys at scale — with messaging that adapts to each user.
-
Predict and respond to market shifts faster — with real-time data analysis.
-
Cut operational costs — while improving marketing effectiveness.
-
Deploy bespoke agentic AI systems — that drive leads, nurture prospects, and support client relationships autonomously.
AI isn’t about replacing parts of your business. It’s about making it sharper, faster, and stronger.

Whether you’re looking for initial AI training, strategic advice, agentic AI solution development, or full implementation support, we tailor the solution to your goals, your team, and your budget.
With Substrate, you don’t just adapt to AI. You use it to win.
