Better marketing for stronger growth
Elevate Growth Solutions gives start-ups, scale-ups and mid-sized businesses access to senior marketing leadership and strategy on a flexible basis.
From Fractional CMO leadership and marketing strategy, to go-to-market planning and brand positioning, we help businesses get clearer on where to focus, make better marketing decisions and turn strategy into action.
Led by Gerhard Sagat, a senior marketing leader with 30 years’ experience across client, agency and consulting roles.
When Elevate can help
We work with founders and leadership teams in growing businesses where marketing needs more direction, more senior experience or a clearer plan for growth.
Growth has stalled
You know there’s more potential in the business, but marketing needs a fresh perspective and clearer priorities.
You need senior marketing leadership
You have people, agencies or freelancers doing the work, but need someone experienced to lead them and set the direction.
Marketing has become reactive
There’s plenty happening, but activity isn’t always connected to a clear strategy or commercial outcome.
You’re making a big move
A new product, new market, repositioning or next stage of growth needs a stronger marketing plan behind it.
That’s usually where we start: understanding where the business is today, where you want to get to, and what marketing needs to do to help you get there.

Delivered with speed and precision.

“I had the opportunity to work with Gerhard on the strategy of CoffeeMate, one of Nestle’s global brands. He demonstrated exceptional strategic expertise and the ability to unite and collaborate with diverse international teams. His leadership and focus consistently delivered impactful and highly effective creative campaigns, that we launched with very positive business results.”

“Working with Gerhard (Elevate Growth) on our brand strategy at tastytrade was a game-changer. He helped us sharpen our challenger positioning, cut through the noise in a highly competitive space, and drive real growth – 23% to be exact. His disruptive approach didn’t just make our brand bolder; it made it more effective. If you’re serious about breaking industry norms, Gerhard is the person to talk to.”
