Your marketing costs money.
It doesn't sell enough.
I bring brand, marketing and processes into one direction and implement them with you, until it pays off.
The Situation
That's almost never the product. It's always the path to the sale.
3 ExitsEntrepreneurial mindset
Case Study
Without a single euro of extra budget.
As their hands-on strategic partner I did not run more campaigns, I changed the order: listen first, then sharpen the brand, then the internal processes, and only after that the channels. The existing budget went where it actually sells.

How you notice it.
Burning money
“Your agency or your team delivers what was ordered: visibility. But the purchase now happens somewhere else, and nobody owns that.”
You are the bottleneck
“You handle the marketing yourself on the side. New business happens when time is left over. So rarely.”
Growth has stalled
“You've been stuck at 2 to 3 million. Customers do come in, just not enough for the next level.”
Transition
“You're handing over to the next generation. The brand carries the existing business but barely adds to it.”

What clients say about working together.
“In 90 minutes he found the problem we'd been working around for 6 months.”
“From the start I was surprised how quickly he got to the core of our problem, with no long ramp-up, no off-the-shelf solutions. What sets him apart: he thinks like an entrepreneur, not like a consultant. He says what he really thinks, even when it's uncomfortable. If you're struggling with brand and growth and looking for a real sparring partner: Simon is exactly that.”
“Simon helped us with our positioning and currently supports us with LinkedIn marketing. After just a few sessions I can say: hats off, he really knows what he's talking about. The things we implemented hit home. We're delighted to have a true professional on board.”
“Super creative, surprises you with new perspectives. He questions what needs to be questioned and delivers crystal-clear positioning. Unique, on point. No ‘chi-chi’, no ‘bla-bla’. And it works: his campaigns create demand.”

About
Simon Förstemann
Growth Strategist & Marketing Advisor
I know this problem from the inside. I have built companies myself that nobody knew.
And I know how to make it happen operationally: I have built brands from zero to millions in revenue myself, assembled marketing teams and led them there. So I don't just tell you what to do, I can also implement it with you.
First Steps into Entrepreneurship
First entrepreneurial activities as marketing and brand lead. Foundation for a mindset that always connects brand and growth.
Second Venture · First Exit
Scaled from zero to multi-million revenue as marketing and brand lead. Built the entire brand and marketing architecture, followed by a successful exit.
Third Venture · Premium Brand DACH
Built a premium brand known across the DACH region, from positioning to market leadership. Again multi-million revenue as marketing and brand lead.
Founded FORMM · International Brand Agency
Built an international brand agency with offices in Berlin and Barcelona. Clients: Continental, Federal Ministry of Transport, Aumovio, FLSK, TenneT and more.
Growth Strategist & Marketing Advisor
1:1 advisory for growth-oriented entrepreneurs. Bringing brand, marketing and processes into one direction. Built on 14 years, 6 ventures and award-winning brand work.
What is at stake
Two paths, and you decide today which one you take.
Enquiries keep coming in, just never enough and never predictably. You keep paying every month for visibility nobody can tie to a result.
Your competitor is not better than you. They are simply better understood.
And eventually the only lever left is more budget, which by then does not work either.
You know where your customers come from, and you can say how many will come next month.
Marketing stops being a cost centre and becomes the place where revenue is created.
And you are no longer the only person in the company winning new business.
How we work
Three steps to customers who come in reliably.
No 80-page concept that ends up in a drawer. A roadmap, and the implementation I walk with you.
First conversation
We look at where your company stands and where new customers should come from. 30 minutes in which we both check whether it fits.
A clear roadmap
Afterwards you know what to do, in which order, and why.
Implementation
I implement it with you, on your own or with your team, until new customers come in reliably. What already works for you stays. I build what is missing.
After that you steer your growth, instead of waiting for it.
Services
Two ways to work together.
All formats are exclusively 1:1. Personal, direct and without detours. The first appointment is always the intro call. What makes sense after that, we discuss there. We agree a fixed fee up front and work with that, so you always know what it costs. Ongoing engagements have three months’ notice.
Strategy Session
You know afterwards where it breaks.
In 90 minutes we look at where the path to the sale breaks down in your business. You leave with a clear action plan.
Hands-on Strategic Partner
I decide with you, with the experience of 6 ventures.
I become your strategic sparring partner at C-level. Two intensive sessions per month, quarterly strategy reviews and direct access when important decisions arise. For the execution I also work directly with your team, if you have one.
If your marketing costs money but brings in too few customers, an intro call is the right next step. Which format fits, we sort out in there.
