Oblique Sight

See what the default view misses.

You're looking at the right data and still missing the pattern.

A senior strategic advisory practice — marketing strategy, positioning, customer insight, martech and AI. The second read that turns noise into a decision.

01 — The premise

The information is usually all there. What's missing is the angle that makes it mean something.

A

A second read, not a second opinion

You don't need more dashboards. You need someone senior enough to look at what you already have and tell you where the real constraint sits.

B

Findings, not frameworks

The work isn't a deck of best practices. It's a small number of specific, defensible findings — each one marked, sourced, and tied to a decision.

C

Built to be acted on

Advisory that stops at insight is half-finished. Every engagement lands on what to do, in what order, and what to stop doing first.

02 — How the work looks

We annotate the evidence in front of you.

The house method is simple to recognise: your real source material — an export, a funnel, a competitor page — with our findings marked directly on top. Hover a marker to read the second column.

The second read
1

Click-through looks healthy, so the team kept buying. But the spend was optimised to clicks, not the step that actually leaks.

2

The real drop is here: 64% of clicks never become a page view. This isn't a creative problem — it's load time on mobile. Three months of budget defending the wrong metric.

3

Fix the leak at #2 and closed deals roughly double on the same spend. The growth was never in a bigger budget. It was in one screen no one was reading.

Where a sharper
angle pays off.

Six areas of practice. Most engagements start in one and reveal a constraint in another — that's usually the point.

01

Growth-system strategy

A clear-eyed read on where growth actually comes from next, and the smallest set of moves that gets you there. The system, not just the campaign.

02

Positioning clarity

Finding the angle only you can own, then making it legible to the market, the board, and the team that has to sell it.

03

Customer signal synthesis

The pattern under the research. We turn what customers actually do — not what they say in a survey — into a position you can defend.

04

Martech operating model

Diagnosing the stack and the way it's run, rather than selling the one you don't have. Where the data lies to you, and where it's quietly telling the truth.

05

Practical AI adoption

Realistic, not breathless. Where AI changes the unit economics of your marketing, where it's theatre, and how to tell the difference early.

06

Growth constraint diagnosis

A focused engagement to locate the one constraint holding the system back — and the order of operations to release it.

03 — Where the perspective comes from

The default view is only
visible from outside it.

The work is done by the person you hire. No agency layer, no junior handoff, no translation loss between the diagnosis and the recommendation.

Complex categories reward clarity, trust, timing, and operational discipline. The growth problem is rarely only a messaging problem.

Moving between systems makes the default view visible. What feels obvious inside one market often looks like an assumption from another.

04 — The practice

Eighteen years of senior marketing leadership, distilled into the part that matters: the read.

Oblique Sight is a deliberately small practice. The work is done by the person you hire, not handed to a team you never meet. That's the whole proposition — senior judgement, applied directly, without the agency layer in between.

The perspective behind the practice was built across countries, categories, and professional identities: clinical training, an MBA, global financial-services and SaaS marketing, and years spent inside the systems that shape growth. The commercial value is not the biography. It is the pattern recognition that comes from having seen more than one default view.
