Bespoke Retained Advisory: positioning, maintained

Who It Is For

For careers that have outgrown projects

At a certain point, career documentation stops being an occasional project and becomes ongoing infrastructure. New results, new mandates, new seats, new introductions: the story moves every quarter, and it should never be caught out of date.

Sitting chief executives

CEOs and group executives whose biography, profile and record are in constant public use, across announcements, results, media and board papers.

Portfolio directors

Leaders holding multiple seats and mandates, where every new nomination expects current documents and each appointment reshapes the story.

Long-standing clients

The clients who have been with us through every transition since 2017, who want their writer, their narrative and their documents retained rather than re-engaged from scratch.

What You Receive

A suite that stays current

i

Everything, maintained

Your CV, cover letters, LinkedIn content, biography, portfolios and board documents refreshed as roles, results and mandates change, so the version anyone reads is always the current one.

ii

Continuity

A dedicated senior writer holds your narrative and a dedicated consultant remains your single point of contact, so every update starts from knowledge rather than a blank questionnaire.

iii

Shaped to you

Composed from any of our nine services and adjusted year to year: heavier in a search season, lighter in a settled one, on hand when an announcement, nomination or opportunity moves faster than planned.

iv

The standard behind it

Every deliverable written by your senior writer through the Executive Career Positioning Suite™ methodology, handled with complete discretion, with an NDA available on request.

What To Expect

From order to final documents, on your schedule

01

Enquire in confidence

Share your situation on WhatsApp, the chat or by email. A consultant listens first and shapes the conversation around what your year looks like.

02

Shape the engagement

Scope, cadence and terms are agreed in consultation and set out in a tailored proposal, so you know exactly what is retained before anything begins.

03

Onboard once

One full intake, completed at your leisure, and your senior writer builds or refreshes the baseline suite. It is the last blank questionnaire you complete with us.

04

Stay current

From then on, updates flow as your story moves: a new result, a new seat, a new introduction, handled within the engagement at the agreed cadence.

No scheduled calls, unless you want one

Our clients span time zones and full diaries, so the detailed intake replaces the telephone consultation. Completed in your own time, it consistently draws out richer material than questions answered on the spot. Prefer to talk it through? A telephone consult with a dedicated consultant is available on request.

Considered Questions

Before you order

Why is there no listed price?
Because no two retained engagements are composed the same way. Scope, cadence and terms are shaped in consultation around your year, and set out in a tailored proposal before anything begins.
What can the engagement include?
Anything from our nine services, kept current over time: your executive CV and cover letters, LinkedIn content, biography, portfolios, board documents and positioning. Most engagements begin with a baseline refresh of the core suite, then maintain it as your story moves.
How is this different from ordering services as I need them?
Continuity. A dedicated senior writer holds your narrative, so every update starts from knowledge rather than a blank intake. Your documents stay ready instead of being rebuilt under deadline when an opportunity is already moving. And one relationship, under one NDA, covers everything.
Is there a minimum term?
Terms, duration and cadence are agreed in consultation and reviewed with you as the engagement evolves. The structure serves your year, not the other way around.
Who will I work with?
A dedicated consultant remains your single point of contact, with your dedicated senior writer maintaining the narrative behind the scenes. A telephone consult is always available when you would rather talk something through.
What if I want changes?
Revisions are free for 30 days from first delivery. After that, updates to existing information remain free, and edits that require new content writing carry a small fee, always quoted before any work begins.
Is my information confidential?
Completely. Your identity and your documents are never disclosed or shared, our client references are anonymised, and an NDA is available on request.
One Campaign Instead?

For a single decisive move: Executive Elite
