Why isn't our marketing bringing in clients?
Usually not because the team isn't working hard. It's direction: what to say, to whom, in what format, and what to stop doing.
Two competing real estate companies show it. One runs marketing with an in-house team; the other works with a specialist agency. The in-house team published nearly nine times as many posts and ended up with about a seventh of the followers. Its recent videos reached hundreds of people. The competitor's reached hundreds of thousands.
That gap is fixable with the team you already have, once someone shows it what to change.

What Kirill fixes in 90 days
The six questions owners and CEOs bring to a marketing consultant, and what changes by the end of the 90 days.
How do we get more clients and qualified leads?
Kirill traces where your good clients actually come from, what each one costs and where leads get lost between marketing and sales, then moves budget and effort to what works.
How do we launch a new project, product or service?
A launch plan written backwards from the sales target: who buys, what they need to believe, which channels reach them, and what has to be ready before day one.
How do we position or rebrand the company?
What you sell, to whom, and why a buyer should choose you over the firm down the street, said the same way on the website, in the sales deck and in proposals.
How do we make our marketing team perform?
Clear roles, a weekly rhythm, briefs that don't need three rounds of revisions, and training on the work the team does every week, so output turns into results.
How do we connect marketing and sales?
One definition of a qualified lead that sales agrees with, a clean handoff, a CRM that tells the truth, and one report the owners actually read.
How do we show up on Google and in ChatGPT?
The pages, facts and proof that get a company found on Google and named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews for a firm like yours.

How the 90 days work
Kirill spends 18 working days inside your company across 90 days. He finds the issue, fixes it, teaches your team to run it and turns it into a system.
Weeks 1 to 3
Find the issue
Interviews with the owners, sales and the marketing team, and a review of your numbers, channels, CRM, website, agencies and spend. You get a written diagnosis with the priorities in order.
Weeks 4 to 7
Fix it
Positioning, the acquisition plan, tracking and the CRM, briefs and agency direction are rebuilt. Campaigns or launches start on the new plan.
Weeks 8 to 10
Teach the team
Kirill works alongside your marketing team on real work: briefs, content, campaigns, reporting and AI tools, until they run it without him.
Weeks 11 to 13
Make it run without him
Playbooks, a weekly operating rhythm and one dashboard are handed over, with a plan for the next two quarters and, if needed, a job description for a full-time marketing lead.
How much does a marketing consultant cost in Chicago?
Kirill's 90-day engagement starts at $45,000, about $15,000 a month. MarketerHire's June 2026 rate guide puts fractional CMOs at $10,000 to $20,000 a month and senior consultants at $225 to $300 or more an hour.

Read the case studyWho hires a marketing consultant in Chicago?
Owners and CEOs of companies that already spend on marketing but can't say what it produces. Many start by looking for a business consultant in Chicago; the problem usually sits where marketing meets sales.
- Your marketing team is busy, and the pipeline looks the same as last quarter.
- You're launching a new project, product or service in the next six months.
- You have an agency, and nobody inside the company can judge whether it's working.
- You're about to hire a head of marketing and want the role and the systems defined first.
Kirill's specialties are construction, real estate development, architecture and B2B companies, where most of his published results come from. Professional services and trade businesses are a fit when the problem is the same. It isn't a fit for companies looking for someone to post on social media every day, or for guaranteed results.
Marketing consultant, agency, fractional CMO or full-time hire?
They solve different problems. A 90-day engagement fixes how marketing works; an agency produces the work; a full-time hire runs a large department for years.

Questions owners ask before hiring a marketing consultant
How much does a marketing consultant cost in Chicago?
Kirill Samarits's 90-day engagement starts at $45,000. It covers 18 working days inside your company over three months, about $15,000 a month. For comparison, MarketerHire's June 2026 rate guide puts fractional CMOs at $10,000 to $20,000 a month and senior marketing consultants at $225 to $300 or more an hour. Media spend and agency production are paid separately.
What does Kirill do during the 90 days?
He finds what is holding back sales and client acquisition, fixes it, teaches your marketing team the new way of working, and turns it into a system: playbooks, a weekly operating rhythm and one dashboard. He spends 18 working days inside your company across the 90 days.
What are the 18 working days?
Days Kirill spends inside your company, in person in Chicago or remotely, with the owners, sales and the marketing team. They are spread across the 90 days and scheduled with you at the start.
Can a marketing consultant help us launch a new project, product or service?
Yes. A launch is one of the most common reasons to bring Kirill in. The plan is written backwards from the sales target: who buys, what they need to believe, which channels reach them and what must be ready before launch. TERAMOK-reported launch results include 22 of 48 units reserved before groundbreaking for a Chicago development.
How do we get more clients when our marketing isn't working?
Start by finding out where your good clients actually come from and what each one costs. Often a few channels produce most of the qualified leads, while much of the team's time goes to work that keeps it busy. Kirill moves budget and time to what works and agrees one definition of a qualified lead with sales.
Will Kirill replace our marketing team or agency?
No. The goal is to make your team and your agency more effective. Kirill leads, trains and sets up the systems; your people keep doing the work. If a role is missing, he helps define it and hire for it.
What happens after the 90 days?
Your team runs the new system on its own, with the playbooks, weekly rhythm and dashboard handed over and a plan for the next two quarters. If you want Kirill to stay involved after the 90 days, that is agreed separately.
Is media spend included in the price?
No. Ad spend is paid directly to the platforms, and production by an agency or freelancers, such as websites, video and photography, is quoted separately. The $45,000 covers Kirill's work: 18 working days, the diagnosis, the plan, the fixes, team training and the handoff.
Which industries does Kirill Samarits work with?
His specialties are construction, real estate development, architecture and B2B companies, which is where most of his published results come from. Professional services and trade businesses in Chicago are a fit when the problem is the same: a marketing team that is busy and a pipeline that isn't growing.
Can we sign an NDA first?
Yes. Kirill Samarits works with several clients under NDA, and an NDA can be signed before any numbers are shared.
Will Kirill try to sell us TERAMOK's services?
The plan is written so your own team or any agency can carry it out. Kirill founded TERAMOK and leads it as CEO, and he says so at the start. If you need execution help, TERAMOK is one option, and you are free to use anyone else.
How do we start?
Use the contact page to describe your company, what isn't working and your timeline. A first conversation is arranged from there, and the 90 days are scheduled once both sides agree on the goal.
