Who I work with

Consulting scoped to the stage of your business.

Startups

Find the first channel that pays back.

  • Go-to-market and launch plan
  • First paid campaigns, set up to measure CAC from day one
  • Tracking, GA4 and CRM built right before spend scales
  • Hiring your first marketer or choosing an agency
SMEs

Stop paying for leads that never close.

  • Ad account audit and waste cut
  • Cost per lead tied to CRM stages, not form fills
  • Landing pages and WhatsApp funnels that convert
  • Local SEO and AI search visibility
Large corporations

Govern several agencies with one standard.

  • Marketing and media audits across brands or regions
  • Agency briefs, KPIs and monthly reviews
  • B2B and account-based marketing on LinkedIn
  • Training for in-house marketing teams
How I fit in

I don't replace your team. I make it sharper.

Most clients already have people running their marketing. The consulting sits on top of that setup, so you keep your accounts, your team and your partners.

In-house team

Senior guidance for your marketers

Monthly strategy and performance reviews, account walkthroughs, and on-call answers when a campaign stalls. Training where skills are thin.

Your agency

An independent check on the work

Better briefs, proposal and media-plan reviews, agreed KPIs and a monthly review that asks the questions an agency would rather skip.

Freelancers

One plan across many hands

A single strategy, shared reporting and clear ownership, so separate freelancers for ads, SEO and content pull in the same direction.

Engagement formats

Five ways to work together.

Every engagement gets a written scope and a fixed fee before it starts. Ad spend is always separate and paid directly to the platforms.

01

Marketing & ad account audit

A review of ad accounts, tracking, funnel, website and reporting. You get a prioritised fix list, estimated spend leakage and a walkthrough call with whoever runs the accounts.

Duration 2–3 weeksBest for All stages
02

Monthly advisory retainer

Ongoing strategy, a monthly performance review and on-call guidance for the people already running your marketing, in-house or external.

Duration 3 months minimumBest for SMEs, corporates
03

Fractional performance marketing lead

Part-time senior leadership that owns the marketing plan, budget allocation and direction of the team or agency, until you are ready to hire full-time.

Duration 3–12 monthsBest for Startups, scale-ups
04

Agency & freelancer oversight

Selecting, briefing and holding external partners to account: RFPs, proposal reviews, KPI frameworks and monthly governance meetings.

Duration Project or ongoingBest for SMEs, corporates
05

Team training & workshops

Hands-on sessions for in-house teams on Google, Meta and LinkedIn ads, GA4 and attribution, B2B ABM and AI-led content, built around your own accounts.

Duration Half-day to 6 weeksBest for Corporates, agencies

Testimonials

What clients, trainees and colleagues say about Nitin.

Recommendations left on Nitin's LinkedIn profile by founders, CEOs, marketing leads and professionals he has trained.

I attended Nitin’s course on LinkedIn for Professionals. His thought process and approach to the topic was very unique. Unlike anyone who uses a lot of push marketing strategies, Nitin showed us how a pull marketing approach for a dentist can be used for our benefit and make us look all the more professional.

He focused on all things that make the difference for a qualified professional and laid emphasis on the small details that will give you a lot of visibility and credibility.

A course that I would surely recommend to professionals wanting to use LinkedIn for achieving their goals.

Consultant, agency, freelancer or in-house hire?

FAQs

Questions before you book.

Who is Nitin P Raghani?

Nitin P Raghani is a digital marketing and performance marketing consultant based in Andheri West, Mumbai, with 18 years of experience. He founded NPR Design in 2008 and has trained and mentored more than 21,000 marketers since 2015. Full profile.

What does a digital marketing consultant do that an agency does not?

An agency executes the work. A consultant sets the strategy, audits what is being done, and holds the people doing it to account. Nitin works alongside your in-house team, agency or freelancers rather than replacing them, so you keep your existing setup and get senior judgement on top of it.

Can you work with our existing agency or freelancer?

Yes. Many engagements are exactly that: briefing an agency properly, reviewing its proposals and media plans, setting the KPIs it reports against, and running a monthly review. You keep ownership of all ad accounts and data throughout.

Do you only work with large companies?

No. Startups usually need a launch plan and a first channel that pays back. SMEs usually need their spend and tracking cleaned up. Large corporations usually need governance across several agencies and training for in-house teams. The engagement is scoped to the stage of the business.

How much does a digital marketing consultant cost in Mumbai?

Independent consultants in Mumbai typically charge between ₹1,500 and ₹8,000+ per hour, or a fixed fee for audits and a monthly fee for retainers. Nitin quotes a fixed scope and fee after a free discovery call, so you know the cost before work starts. Ad spend is always separate and paid directly to the platforms.

Which channels do you advise on?

Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads and account-based marketing, GA4 and attribution, landing pages and conversion rate optimisation, SEO, GEO and AEO for AI search, WhatsApp and CRM funnels, and marketing reporting.

Do you work with companies outside Mumbai?

Yes. Consulting runs remotely for clients across India and abroad, with in-person sessions available in Mumbai at the Andheri West office.

How do we start?

Send a short brief through the form on this page. You get a discovery call, then a written scope with a fixed fee. Most clients start with an audit or a 90-day advisory engagement.
