Is there a minimum commitment?

We ask for an initial three-month commitment. This gives us enough time to understand your business, establish the right priorities and make meaningful progress, without locking you into a long-term arrangement.

Can we change priorities each month?

Absolutely. Businesses evolve, markets change and priorities shift. Thrive is built to adapt. Every month we review what has changed, what is working and where the greatest commercial opportunity now exists, allowing us to adjust priorities as your business grows.

Do we still have access to the wider Le Claires team?

Yes. While you will have a dedicated point of contact, Thrive gives you access to the wider Le Claires team and specialist expertise across commercial strategy, Shopify, websites, ecommerce, SEO, content, email marketing and digital growth whenever it is needed.

Can Thrive start after Digital Foundations?

Absolutely. Many businesses begin with Digital Foundations to clarify their commercial priorities before moving into Thrive. Once those foundations are in place, Thrive provides the ongoing commercial thinking, marketing expertise and practical support needed to keep improving and growing over time.

Is Thrive the same as hiring a marketing agency?

No. Thrive is designed to become an extension of your business rather than an outsourced agency. Alongside marketing expertise, we bring commercial thinking, strategic advice and practical support, helping you make better decisions across your business, not just your marketing.

Is Thrive right for my business?

Thrive is designed for independent businesses that have moved beyond the start-up stage and want consistent commercial and marketing support without building an in-house team. It is particularly valuable for businesses that are growing, adapting or looking to make better long-term decisions.

Better decisions. Every month.

That's Thrive.

Commercial thinking, marketing expertise and practical support that helps your business keep moving forward.

Let''s Have A Conversation

Most businesses come to us because they need more marketing support.

“We should be doing more marketing, but we don't have time.”

We'll help you prioritise the work that matters most, creating a practical marketing plan that fits around your business and your capacity.

“We're doing lots of different things, but we're not sure what's working.”

We'll help you focus on what matters most, measure what's making a difference and spend more time on the things that move your business forward.

“We're working harder than ever, but not growing.”

We'll help you understand what's getting in the way of growth and focus on the changes that will make the biggest difference.

“We're busy, but our marketing feels reactive, not planned.”

We'll help you focus on the work that will make the biggest difference and build a marketing plan around your priorities.

We'll help you understand why customers aren't returning and create a better experience that gives them more reasons to come back.

“We need more marketing support, but we're not ready to start hiring.”

We'll become an extension of your business, providing the commercial thinking, marketing support and practical delivery you need, without the cost of building an in-house team.

Making regular improvements to your website, eCommerce experience and digital presence.

Understand. Focus. Build.

It isn't a slogan - it's how every conversation with an independent business goes.

We start by understanding what's really going on: the business, the customers, what's working and what isn't.

From there, we focus - deciding what genuinely matters most, before jumping to solutions.

Only then do we build, putting the right thing in place with confidence, because it's grounded in a real understanding of the business rather than a guess.

Have something specific to tackle first?

Sometimes the right starting point isn't ongoing support. There's a particular part of the business that needs focused attention, whether that's your positioning, website, ecommerce, customer journey or wider digital foundations.

Digital Foundations brings the right thinking and expertise together around a defined challenge, with a clear beginning and outcome.
