The Marketing Consultancy for a messy world.

We help ambitious Singapore businesses bring order to their marketing — turning scattered activity into structured growth.

The result? Prospects knocking, pipelines growing, and sales teams high-fiving.

Marketing isn’t a neat funnel — it’s a fight for attention, trust, and recall.

Between awareness and action lies the Messy Middle — where buyers compare, hesitate, and loop between curiosity and commitment. It’s where most businesses lose momentum.

We help you make sense of that space. By understanding how people actually decide — not how we wish they did — we design marketing systems that guide real behaviour.

It’s clarity powered by behavioural science, strategy, and senior-level experience.

Whether you’re building a brand, launching something new,
or looking to scale your revenue, we’ll help you move forward with confidence – and momentum.

Clarity Starts with Honest Questions

If you’re a Singapore business trying to make sense of your marketing, ask yourself these before you plan your next campaign.

Be honest — do your campaigns actually drive the results your business needs, or just look good on the surface?

If you can’t answer that in a single sentence, your marketing is guessing, not guiding. The most powerful brands grow because they know what triggers a choice — and what kills it.

Real growth doesn’t come from one-off campaigns or the latest trend. It comes from systems that keep working even when markets shift or budgets tighten.

It’s easy to count clicks, followers, or impressions. But the metrics that actually matter — consideration, preference, and conversion — are often ignored because they’re harder to measure.

Every business has them — the silent gaps where prospects drop off or drift away. The difference between thriving and struggling often isn’t lead volume, it’s what happens after the lead arrives.

If everyone has a different definition of success, you don’t have alignment — you have noise. Without a clear marketing strategy, even smart people pull in opposite directions.

If any make you hesitate, that’s a sign your strategy needs attention — and that’s exactly where we can help.

Smarter Marketing Consultancy in Singapore.

We start with Diagnosis, build Strategy, then deliver a clear Tactical Plan — the way marketing was meant to work.

Our consultancy is designed for ambitious Singapore-based businesses that want clarity, not clutter. We don’t run your campaigns — we design the system that makes them work. If you want support with execution, we can bring in our delivery team, but it sits outside your consultancy scope.

Because the most effective marketing starts with thinking, not tactics.

Our Process: From Clarity to Plan

Diagnosis.

We don’t start with tactics — we start with truth.
Through research, interviews, and data, we uncover what’s really driving performance — and what’s quietly holding you back.

This stage gives you clarity on customers, competitors, and the internal gaps that matter most.
No assumptions. No shortcuts. Just evidence you can build on.

Strategy.

With the facts in hand, we define direction.

Who to target, how to position your brand, and what goals will drive growth.

The result is a sharp, joined-up strategy that unites your marketing efforts and turns confusion into confidence.

It’s the blueprint for everything that follows.

Tactical Plan.

Here we translate strategy into a clear, actionable marketing plan — the channels, campaigns, and priorities that will bring your growth goals to life.

We don’t execute the work within consultancy, but we make sure every tactic is defined, prioritised, and measurable.

If you’d like help putting the plan into action, our delivery team can step in seamlessly.

By the end, you’ll have a clear, evidence-led marketing roadmap — not another deck that gathers dust. It’s practical, measurable, and built to guide smarter marketing decisions, whether you implement it in-house or with our team’s support here in Singapore.

1. Diagnosis

Understand before you act

Before we recommend anything, we dig deep. Quick answers and templated solutions lead to wasted budget and shallow wins. Instead, we start by identifying the true sources of underperformance – the overlooked issues that are holding your marketing back.

This isn’t guesswork. Through research, analysis, and honest conversations, we uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface. Only then can we begin to chart a path forward.

No assumptions. No shortcuts. Just insight that cuts through the noise.

A stylised image of a man looking at ideas pinned to a wall.

2. Strategy

Build a smarter game plan

With a clear diagnosis completed, we create your strategy – not from a paint -by-numbers playbook, but from the reality of your business.

We identify:

where to focus our efforts to generate the greatest impact for your business,

How to position your offering, so that it resonates with buyers

We agree meaningful business objectives. So that we are all aligned.

Whether subtle or sweeping, the strategy we develop is tailored, practical, and aligned to your growth goals. No packages. No fluff. Just the right approach for you.

3. Tactics

Making it real

Now it’s time to execute. We turn strategy into action by identifying what’s missing – the gaps, blockers, and opportunities that are stopping your marketing from converting.

From reshaping customers journeys to overcoming buyer objections to planning new demand channels from the ground up, we’ll help you implement the right tools, content, platforms, and creative – all designed to deliver results you can measure and momentum your can feel.

We review your brand, website, marketing assets, client journey, and key analytics — including a competitor and SEO analysis.
Outcome: Clear picture of strengths, gaps, and quick wins.

Step 2: Strategy Development

We develop a focused marketing strategy tailored to your goals. This may include:

  • Brand direction & Category Entry Points (CEPs)
  • Content & campaign planning
  • Business development approach

Step 3: Team Alignment

We align with your internal stakeholders or external partners on the plan, timelines, KPIs, and ownership.

Step 5: Tracking & Refinement

We help set up analytics, dashboards, and regular reporting. Results are reviewed, learnings applied, and strategies optimised.

Outcome: Smarter decisions and growing impact.

Step 6: Quarterly Strategic Reviews

Every 3 months, we regroup to review performance, refine direction, and align on new opportunities.

Outcome: Ongoing momentum — not a one-off engagement.

Why Choose Us (and Why Others Fall Short)

Not all marketing consultancies are created equal.
We built ours to fix what others get wrong — and to bring genuine, senior-level strategy back to the table.

Your Marketing Rules was founded by a small tight-knit team of senior marketers based in Singapore – each bringing decades of experience from agencies, in-house teams, and consultancy roles across a range of industries.

We started this business because we’re tired of the churn-and-burn agency model. Tired of bloated retainers, cookie-cutter strategies, and clients treated like line items. We knew there had to be a better way.

So we built something smaller – and stronger.

We’re not here to chase volume or scale at any cost. We don’t have investors to please, or aggressive sales targets to hit. Instead, we work with a select number of businesses we believe in – building genuine partnerships and helping them to grow with clarity, purpose, and practical marketing that works.

You’ll always deal with the people doing the work. No fluff. No handoffs. Just a passionate team that has time for you – and the expertise to make a real difference.

Clarity Over Chaos

Every engagement starts with diagnosis and strategy — not guesswork or generic playbooks.

Experience Over Headcount

We work alongside your team – not from a distance.  Expert practical input, not just slide decks.

Partnership Over Politics

We choose clients we can genuinely help, not just sign them.

We didn’t build Your Marketing Rules to be the biggest consultancy in Singapore — just the one that does marketing properly.

We Solving Problems.

“With Your Marketing Rules, it’s a partnership, where collaboration and idea-sharing are at the forefront. This contrasts starkly with other agencies I’ve encountered, where their agenda often overshadows our own input.”

And yes, we do win business from them. Not because we hard sell, but because people see the value and want more. No pressure, no catch — just a genuine chance to experience how we work.
