Capo d’Ena – Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What makes Capo d’Ena different from other consultancies?
    We’ve been in corporate marketing roles, made the tough calls, and navigated the same frustrations you have. That means our solutions aren’t “consulting slides”, they’re grounded, doable, and proven. We know the theory, but we lead with practice.
  2. Who do you typically work with?
    Two main groups:
  • Marketing managers who want strategic input without putting their agency on alert.
  • Agency account managers who need their clients to brief better, decide faster, and collaborate more effectively.
  • Top Managers who look for an honest second opinion and people who get things done
  1. How does chess fit into business consulting?
    Chess gives us structure, foresight, and calculated moves. We bring empathy, curiosity, and surprising angles. Together, we help you to see the whole board: the facts and the emotions, so our strategies work in reality, not just on paper.

  1. What kind of challenges can you help with?
    From clarifying your brand’s position to running a flawless agency pitch, from building high-performing teams to aligning sales and marketing, we help you focus on what really moves the needle.
  2. Do you only handle marketing issues?
    Mostly! But in truth, marketing problems are rarely “just marketing.” They often involve culture, leadership, and cross-functional alignment. We go where the root cause lives.
  3. Can you help me select the right agency?
    Yes. We run selection processes that are fair, transparent, and fast, so you find a partner who fits, not just one who looks good in a pitch deck.
  4. Do you replace existing agencies or work with them?
    Often, we make your current agencies better partners through sharper briefs, clearer priorities, and improved collaboration. Sometimes, we help you find a new fit. Either way, it’s about what serves your goals best.

  1. How do we start?
    With a conversation. We listen, we ask questions, and we quickly map where we can add the most value. Then we propose a clear path forward, whether it’s a workshop, an audit, or ongoing advice.
  2. How quickly will I see results?
    Some changes land in a single day. Others need a few weeks to take hold. We move fast, but we never cut corners on understanding the problem.
  3. Do you run workshops?
    Yes! And they’re not the “sticky note” kind that fizzle out. We design sessions that are engaging, sharp, and lead to decisions you can act on immediately.
  4. Can you work under the radar?
    Absolutely. If you need to explore options quietly without triggering agency politics or internal noise: we know how to work discreetly.

  1. How do you measure success?
    We agree on what “better” means before we start. Whether it’s higher ROI, faster delivery, clearer direction, or simply a stronger, more confident team.
  2. Will you just tell us what to do?
    No. We co-create solutions with you so you can own them and sustain the impact long after we’re gone.
  3. Do you give us tools we can keep using?
    Yes. Frameworks, templates, briefing guides: practical, tested tools you can apply right away.

  1. Where are you based? Do you work internationally?
    Lugano, Switzerland is our home, but we work across DACH and beyond, on-site or remotely, in English, German, or Italian.
  2. How do you charge?
    Transparent and simple: project fees, workshop packages, or a retainer if you want us on call. No surprise invoices.
  3. How do I know if we’re the right fit?
    If you want experienced partners who’ve faced the same challenges you have and who combine strategic thinking with real-world pragmatism. Then we should talk.
  4. How do we get started?
    Drop us a line via our website or LinkedIn. One conversation, no strings attached and we’ll both know if it’s a match.
