Social Media Marketing Review from Maksym Kryvoshlyk
They produced animations, images, and tales for Instagram. Additionally, they created content for Facebook. The team produced content for Twitter in addition to our other social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram. The engagement has the feel of a genuine partnership rather than a business arrangement.

I had the opportunity to work closely with Tom and many of his collaborators for several years, especially in the development of UniCredit Group's first international intranet. A three-language intranet designed by a mixed Italian/Polish cross-functional team, one of the languages being non-Polish, it's easy to understand how collaboration, listening, continuous exchange, and, above all, hands-on experience are the unique and distinctive characteristics of this team of exceptional professionals! If you need to design or build something, trust them!

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Business Consulting Firms
What types of problems do consulting agencies typically solve?
They usually solve problems that are too important, too cross-functional, or too urgent for an internal team to handle alone. Business owners hire business consultants when they need to grow, improve execution, manage risk, or change how the business runs.
Strategy and growth problems: Businesses hire a strategy consulting firm when they know the current path is not strong enough, but have not yet agreed on the next move. PwC’s 2025 Global CEO Survey found that 42% of CEOs say their company will remain viable for less than 10 years if it stays on its current path. Organizations rely on business consulting agencies when they need help with their growth strategy and when they want to learn how to compete.
Digital transformation and technology gaps: Business consulting firms help businesses turn technology spending into measurable operating results. Gartner reported that only 48% of digital initiatives meet or exceed their business outcome targets. McKinsey reported that 78% of organizations use AI in at least one business function, yet more than 80% say they are not seeing a tangible enterprise-level EBIT impact from generative AI.
Operational performance problems: Consultants help with low productivity, weak margins, slow throughput, poor planning, supply chain instability, inventory problems, and uneven service delivery across business units or geographies. They redesign processes, improve decision rights, cut waste, and build a more resilient operating model.
Organizational and talent issues: A business consulting company can redesign organizational structure, clarify accountability, improve governance, support transformation offices, and build workforce capability. ManpowerGroup reported that 72% of employers are having difficulty filling roles, based on a survey of 39,000 employers across 41 countries. Consulting work increasingly includes workforce planning, reskilling, and change management, not just strategy decks.
Risk management, resilience, or crisis exposure problems: A consulting firm helps with cybersecurity, regulatory response, geopolitical shocks, technology disruption, and business continuity. According to IBM, the global average cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million, and 70% of breached organizations said their operations were significantly or moderately disrupted. When risk starts affecting operations, cost, customer trust, or board-level decisions, companies often bring in consultants because they need both specialist expertise and fast execution.
How much do business consulting services cost?
Business consulting costs vary widely depending on the type of firm, the problem being solved, and the pricing model.
Hourly rates
Small business consultants: $75
General business consultants: $100-$250
Experienced specialists: $250-$500+
High-end or niche experts: $500-$1,000+
For ongoing advisory or support, business consulting firms charge monthly fees:
Small business retainers: up to $2,500/month
Mid-market or specialized retainers: $5,000-$25,000+/month
Top-tier consulting firms such as Deloitte Consulting LLP and McKinsey consultants charge differently, since they bill clients for the entire team's fee rather than individual fees.
Pricing is often $100,000 to $1M+ per project
Weekly team costs can reach tens of thousands of dollars, depending on seniority and scope
What should be included in a consulting proposal?
Business consultants should provide a strong proposal that removes uncertainty for the client. It should clearly define the problem, the approach, the expected outcomes, and the commercial terms.
A strong consulting proposal should answer four questions clearly:
What problem are you solving?
How will you solve it?
What results should we expect?
What will it cost and how long will it take?
How do I avoid getting locked into a long-term consulting relationship that doesn’t deliver measurable value?
You need to structure the relationship around clear outcomes, short commitments, and accountability from the start. Most consulting projects don't succeed because of unclear expectations and weak performance tracking. According to McKinsey & Company, only about 30% of large business transformation programs fully achieve their goals, often due to unclear objectives and weak tracking.
You should set a clear baseline, define target improvements, and agree on a timeline. For example, instead of saying you need to improve operations, set the goal to reduce operating costs by 10% within six months.
Avoid large upfront commitments and start with a short diagnostic or pilot phase, which can last 4 to 8 weeks, and include a formal review point before moving forward.
Define a clear scope of work and deliverables. The agreement should specify exactly what the business consulting firm will deliver, when those deliverables are due, and what is explicitly out of scope.
To avoid long-term dependency, require knowledge transfer to your internal team. This includes documentation, tools, and training that allow your staff to operate independently after the project ends.
What results should I realistically expect from a consulting agency?
Business consulting companies should offer a measurable business impact. Depending on the project, a measurable business impact may include cost reduction, revenue growth, improved margins, faster processes, or higher productivity.
A good consulting agency should deliver clear strategic direction, measurable performance improvements, faster execution, specialized expertise, and lasting internal capabilities. You should expect expert knowledge that will help your organization become more capable than it was before.
What information should I prepare before reaching out?
Prepare enough information to clearly explain your problem, your goals, and your current performance, so that the agency can assess the fit quickly and give you a realistic proposal.
At a minimum, you should be ready to share:
A clear description of the problem (what’s not working, where, and why it matters)
Your business goals (what success looks like in measurable terms)
Key performance data (revenue, margins, growth trends, or operational metrics)
Any existing initiatives or strategies already in progress
Your budget range and expected timeline
Who the key decision-makers are
What is the difference between boutique consulting firms and large consultancies?
The difference comes down to scale, specialization, cost, and how work is delivered. Boutique business consulting firms tend to be focused and flexible, while large consultancies offer broader capabilities and global reach.
Boutique consulting firms
Large consultancies
Focus on a specific industry or problem (e.g., pricing, supply chain, AI).
Offer a wide range of services across industries (strategy, tech, operations, risk).
Small, senior-led teams with direct involvement from experienced consultants.
Larger, layered teams (partners, managers, analysts) with more standardized delivery.
More adaptable, faster decision-making, and customized approaches.
Strong global presence, established frameworks, and ability to handle large, complex transformations.
Often more cost-efficient for targeted projects.
Higher fees due to brand, scale, and large team involvement.
Deep focus on specific problems with hands-on execution.
Structured methodologies, often combining strategy with large-scale implementation programs.
