The 3P Framework

Profile. Plan. Perform.

Strategy and execution built as one system, with performance accountability baked in.

Most agencies jump straight to tactics without understanding your business. Consultancies deliver strategy documents that sit on shelves. We do both. We Profile your unfair advantage, Plan a blueprint to win, then Perform with execution that stays accountable to agreed KPIs. For a full guide to the system, see our 3P Playbook.

Where Strategy Meets Execution

The 3P Framework is our way of building sustainable growth without guesswork. Profile gives us intelligence. Plan turns intelligence into a blueprint. Perform turns the blueprint into measurable outcomes, using a retainer model that flexes with KPI performance.

Start with intelligence

We diagnose before we prescribe, so the work is built around your real constraints and opportunities.

Build a blueprint

Clear positioning, messaging, offers, channels, and KPIs, so execution has direction.

Perform with accountability

Execution is tied to outcomes. When KPIs are exceeded, we share upside. When KPIs are missed, our fees flex down.

The 3 Phases of Growth

A systematic approach to scaling your business with precision.

Phase 1

Profile: Deep Discovery

We don’t guess. We uncover your unfair advantage.

We start with intelligence, not tactics. Through deep business discovery, competitive mapping, SWOT analysis, and market positioning research, we uncover what truly makes you different. This is where we learn your story, understand your customers, and identify the blue ocean opportunities your competitors are missing.

What’s included

  • Business deep dive and stakeholder interviews
  • Competitive intelligence and market analysis
  • SWOT and opportunity mapping
  • Customer research and ICP development
  • Brand positioning and differentiation strategy

Outputs

  • Positioning summary and differentiation narrative
  • Competitive landscape and opportunity map
  • ICP definition and customer insights
  • Strategic constraints and growth assumptions

Phase 2

Plan: Strategic Blueprint

Intelligence without strategy is data. Strategy is how you win.

With Profile intelligence in hand, we craft your growth strategy. We define your ideal customer profiles, create your messaging framework, sharpen your offer architecture, and map a channel plan tied to KPIs. This is your blueprint for cutting through the noise and building sustainable competitive advantage.

What’s included

  • Brand positioning refinement and narrative
  • Ideal customer profile (ICP) and segments
  • Messaging framework and style guide
  • Market awareness messaging (Eugene Schwartz 5 Levels)
  • Offer architecture and value ladder
  • Channel strategy and KPI model
  • 90-day execution roadmap

Outputs

  • Messaging and positioning pack
  • Market awareness content map (Unaware to Most Aware)
  • Offer map and funnel architecture
  • Channel plan with KPI targets
  • KPI scorecard and reporting model
  • 90-day prioritised roadmap

Phase 3

Perform: Accountable Execution

Strategy without execution is a daydream. We make it real.

Now we execute, but with a critical difference. Every tactic is informed by your Profile intelligence and Plan strategy. SEO, paid media, CRM, conversion optimisation, and website performance are executed with precision. Our retainer flexes up or down against agreed KPIs, so accountability is built into the partnership.

What’s included

  • Campaign architecture mapped to market awareness levels
  • SEO and content execution aligned to the blueprint
  • Paid media execution across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn
  • CRM development and marketing automation
  • Conversion rate optimisation and landing page iteration
  • Reporting, experimentation, and ongoing optimisation
  • Performance accountability via KPI-linked retainer structure

Outputs

  • Monthly performance scorecard
  • Awareness-stage reporting so you can see where growth is actually coming from
  • Experiment backlog and learnings
  • Conversion and funnel improvements
  • Channel optimisation and scaled wins

Meet Buyers Where They Are

Not every prospect is ready to buy. Most marketing fails because it speaks to the wrong level of awareness. We use Eugene Schwartz’s 5 Levels of Awareness to match the right message, offer, and call to action to the buyer’s mindset.

Unaware

Thinking: “Everything seems fine. I’m not looking.

Publish: Education that reveals the hidden cost or missed opportunity.

Read a guide
Problem aware

Thinking: “Something is off, but I’m not sure why.

Publish: Diagnosis content, checklists, benchmarks, and ‘what to do next’.

Get clarity
Solution aware

Thinking: “I know the type of help I need, but not who to trust.

Publish: Comparison content, frameworks, case examples, and proof.

See how it works
Product aware

Thinking: “I’m comparing options like yours.

Publish: Differentiation, process, deliverables, and commercial model transparency.

Most aware

Thinking: “I want to start, I just need the right entry point.

Publish: Clear starting paths, pricing anchors, and next steps.

Why This Works

Traditional agencies execute without understanding your business. Consultancies strategise without executing. We do both, with accountability. Profile gives us intelligence. Plan gives us strategy. Perform delivers measurable outcomes. Use our ROI calculator to model potential impact.

The Traditional Agency Problem

  • Jump straight to tactics without a strategic foundation
  • Report activity, not outcomes
  • Channel decisions based on habit, not advantage
  • Strategy lives in someone’s head, not in a system

The 3P Digital Difference

  • Start with intelligence (Profile) before execution
  • Build a blueprint (Plan) tied to KPIs
  • Execute with accountability (Perform)
  • One partner responsible for the full journey

How Engagement Works

You can start with the full strategic partnership, or start with a single service and upgrade into the framework when ready. We’ll be honest though. Teams that start with Profile make better decisions and typically see stronger long-term results.
