Who Connectwright is for
Founders, CEOs and advisors at companies from pre-launch to $20M in revenue: D2C and ecommerce brands, B2B companies, and founders getting ready to launch. Many spend around $10,000 a month on marketing and want senior guidance without a senior salary.
- You're launching, or getting ready to go to market, and want the foundations right.
- You're between $1M and $20M and ready to scale with intention.
- You don't have senior marketing leadership, or you do and want a second opinion.
- You've wasted budget on the wrong partner and don't want to do it again.
Not sure what you need yet? That's the most common place to start.

Questions founders ask
What makes Connectwright different from an agency or a recruiter?
Agencies sell you their own services. Recruiters fill a role and move on. Connectwright does neither. Ralph works out what your business needs, finds the right partner for each job, agrees scope and price on your behalf, and stays involved after you sign.
Who is Connectwright for?
Founders and CEOs running businesses from pre-launch to $20M in revenue, including D2C, ecommerce and B2B companies. It suits small teams with too many options and not enough senior marketing guidance.
How do you choose the partners you recommend?
There's no fixed roster. Every recommendation is based on your stage, goals, budget and team. Ralph has worked with agencies and freelancers across every major channel for more than a decade, and only brings in people he trusts to deliver for your situation.
What if I already have agencies in place?
That's one of the most common starting points. Ralph reviews what you have, tells you honestly what's working, and helps you fix those relationships or replace them. You don't have to start from scratch.
How quickly can we get started?
Book a call and come ready to talk numbers: revenue, marketing spend and what's not working. The aim is for you to leave the first call with a clear first move.
