There are a lot of scammers out there around this area. Unfortunately this is not an area that is easy to outsource. If you try, you usually end up paying somebody £5k, of which they pocket £1k for non productive ads. But fortunately it is learn-able with the old college try.

I run a very successful agency. I don't do consulting, but if you put your email address in your profile I'll give you a 5 minute assessment.

What scope are you looking at? UK only, or other geo's too?

What scale is meaningful for you? £1m rev? £10m rev? £100m rev?

What are your #1 or top sku's in terms of popularity / profitablity ?

Who are your closest comparable companies? we have "Boll and Branch" here in the US. are there others that have brand awareness in UK?

Hi Wonsize,

Appreciate the response. Here are some answers:

1. Our scope is currently only the UK, although we are looking at other brands.

2. Meaningful scale for us would be between £100-500k revenue in first year and growing that 40-60% every year.

3. I don't know the answer to this.

4. Close competitors are companies like: https://charlottethomas.co.uk/, https://www.frette.com/.

I've put my e-mail in my profile. Thanks very much in advance for your time and for the consultation!

Also, I found this guy on Reddit and was impressed with his knowledge and results:
