The starting point for STRUCTURED GROWTH

Most brands don’t fail because they lack effort. They struggle because decisions are unclear, overlapping, or reactive.
That shows up as:

  • Messaging that keeps shifting
  • Offers that compete with each other
  • Marketing that feels busy but unfocused
  • Teams pulling in different directions

Skipping strategy doesn’t save time. It creates rework.
Which is why every Birdcage engagement begins with strategy

What our Strategy Work Actually Does?

Birdcage® strategy is designed to do one thing well: make the right decisions obvious.

We clarify:

  • What you sell and who it’s really for
  • How your offers fit together
  • What your message needs to say (and what it doesn’t)
  • How your funnel should work end to end
  • What matters now, later, or not at all

How We Approach Strategy?

  • Ask the right question
  • Analyse the whole system, not isolated channels
  • Collaborate with existing teams where needed
  • We don’t sell execution before knowing what should be executed

Our Strategy System

Birdcage strategy follows a structured system designed to remove ambiguity and create decisions that hold as your business grows.
Audience Profiling, Beyond Demographics

We begin by understanding who you are really speaking to.

Not just age, industry, or job title — but how your audience thinks, decides, and responds under pressure.

Using our proprietary psychological tools, we identify:

  • What your audience is trying to solve
  • What they are resistant to
  • What creates trust versus friction
  • Why they choose some brands and ignore others
Brand Positioning That Reflects Reality

Positioning is not about sounding different. It’s about being accurate
We clarify:

  • What your brand actually stands for now
  • Where you fit in your market (without posturing)
  • What you should lean into and what to stop claiming
Brand Messaging that holds under Growth
Once positioning is clear, we translate it into messaging your team can actually use.

This includes:

  • Core brand messages
  • Language guidelines
  • What to repeat, emphasise, or retire
  • How your message should adapt across contexts

The goal is not clever copy.
It’s message consistency that builds trust over time.

Brand Visual Aesthetic with Purpose

Your visual presence should support your strategy, not fight it.

We define:

  • The role your visuals play in trust and perception
  • The level of polish, restraint, or boldness required
  • Clear direction for design, content, and creative
  • Review of your existing branding and recommendations on how to move forward
Customer Journey and Funnel Clarity
Strategy should be visible, not theoretical.
We include practical examples of how your strategy shows up across organic social platforms, so you can see:

  • How messaging translates into content
  • What to prioritise and what to ignore
  • How consistency is maintained without repetition

These examples act as reference points for your team, making the strategy easier to apply day-to-day.

The Outcome

By the end of the strategy process, you’re not left with ideas. Everything that follows becomes easier because the foundations are no longer in question.

You’re left with:

  • Clear decisions
  • A shared understanding across your team
  • A strategy you can execute with confidence

STRATEGY packages

Depending on the level of direction your business needs, there are two strategy engagements.

Blueprint Strategy

Clarity around audience, messaging, platforms and practical examples of how this translates into organic social media content.

Best for new brands, existing brands who need direction and not yet running paid ads at scale.

Gold Strategy & Action Plan

Everything in Blueprint Strategy PLUS full audit of all existing marketing. Structured action plan to bring all marketing into alignment, tools, templates & additional coaching.

Best for established brands about to invest heavily in marketing, or already scaling brands who know they could achieve more.

Blueprint Strategy

A clarity-first strategy that defines your audience, positioning and marketing funnel so you know exactly what to say, on which platforms on and why.

A short, focused engagement designed to clarify the foundations of your marketing.

This is for brands that feel pulled in multiple directions and want confidence before investing more time, money, or resources.

Best for:

  • New brands
  • Existing businesses restructuring offers or messaging
  • Teams resetting direction
  • Founders who want clarity without overhauling everything
  • Clear direction for content creation & wider marketing

You’ll leave with:

  • Clear decisions around audience, brand, messaging, and funnel direction
  • The Master Strategy File
  • The Executive Summary Presentation

Step 1

STRATEGIC Discovery

A focused discovery session (60 minutes)

We begin with a structured conversation designed to identify where clarity has broken down.

It’s a diagnostic discussion that reveals:

  • What’s being avoided
  • What’s being overcomplicated
  • What’s actually driving results

Step 2

RESEARCH and STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

Deep analysis and strategy build completed by us (approx. 10 business days)

This is where we:
  • Analyse your audience, offers, messaging, and funnel
  • Identify friction, gaps, and duplication
  • Make clear strategic decisions based on evidence and experience
  • Document the reasoning so the strategy holds under pressure

    Step 3

    STRATEGY Documentation

    Two complementary deliverables

    You’ll receive:

    The Master Strategy File
    The complete working strategy. This includes all analysis, decisions, context, and rationale. It becomes the source of truth for your business.

    The Executive Summary Presentation
    A concise, decision-ready summary designed for leadership and teams. This is the version used to align, communicate, and execute.

    Step 4

    STRATEGY Preparation & Alignment

    Executive walkthrough (60 minutes)

    We present the Strategy on a live call with opportunity for feedback and questions.

    Step 5

    DECIDING what happens next

    You don’t need to decide this upfront

    Once the strategy is complete, we help you determine the most appropriate next step based on what the strategy actually shows.

    • Moving into a Full Funnel Strategy & Action Plan
    • Or taking the strategy and executing independently

    GOLD Strategy & Action Plan

    A complete, execution-ready strategy across all digital platforms, with a clear action plan that shows exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to make it work.

    This engagement includes everything in the Blueprint Strategy, plus a detailed action plan across your full marketing funnel.

    It’s designed for businesses that want clarity and a structured plan for execution.

    In addition to the core strategy, this includes:

    • A full audit of existing platforms and channels
    • Clear guidance on what to keep, improve, or remove
    • Identification of gaps where platforms or systems are missing
    • A prioritised action plan across the full funnel including templates
    • Best for:
      • Established brands ready to scale
      • Teams that want alignment and focus
      • Businesses about to invest more seriously in marketing
      • Operators who want fewer decisions going forward
      You can execute this plan internally, with partners, or with Birdcage.

      AUDIT & AUCTION Plan

      We audit everything that impacts acquisition and conversion through the lens of your strategy, including:

      Brand + messaging

      • Homepage and key landing pages
      • Core offer pages
      • Brand consistency across touchpoints
      • Messaging alignment across platforms

      Funnel + conversion

      • Lead magnets / opt-ins
      • Email flows (welcome, nurture, abandoned cart, post-purchase)
      • Sales pages and conversion paths
      • Booking flow (if service-based)
      • Checkout flow (if eComm)

      Traffic + acquisition

      • Paid ads accounts (Meta/Google/TikTok etc.)
      • Organic social (content structure, consistency, conversion path)
      • Website CRO (site structure, intent mapping, content gaps)

      Product Pathway

      • Offer redundancies
      • Pricing

      In 2025, 93% of clients kept working with us after strategy

      Many clients choose to continue working with us after strategy because the system is already in place, not because they’re pressured to. Clarity creates momentum and once decisions are clear:

      • Execution becomes simpler
      • Teams move faster
      • Confidence increases
      • Results are inevitable

      If you’re not sure where to start

      That’s exactly what strategy is for. If growth feels heavier than it should, and you want to stop guessing what to do next, this is the place to begin.
