I’m David van Schaick, a marketing leader and strategist.

I can help you become easier to buy

I help B2B brands and agencies.

I believe marketing exists to meet customer needs profitably.
That’s what I help you get better at doing.

For B2B brands.

Fractional marketing leadership

For businesses that need an injection of strategic marketing, I will build the strategy and implement it and help you measure its impact.


Positioning & Messaging

I help you to bottle your advantage. I make it easier for your buyers to understand your value and why it matters to them. And then I help you say it it in interesting ways.


I work on specific projects to improve marketing effectiveness, identifying where and how to improve and rolling out new initiatives.

Improving effectiveness


Coaching & Inspiration

I can provide an injection of fresh thinking to help you and your team pop a little more joy into your marketing again.


For B2B agencies.

  • Help buyers choose you in a crowded, homogenuous marketplace

  • Ugly word, important concept. Package repeatable solutions to common problems to help you scale.

  • Identify unmet or underserved customer needs and build new capability and service offerings.

  • My support with growing your agency and maximising its value.
