Marketing & systems,
built to work.

Not just to exist.

100% obligation free.

Our founder has experience with brands you know.
The problem

Your marketing is active.
The results are not.

Your marketing is broken. We find out why. Then we fix it.

Broken foundations

The product and messaging is unclear, so the marketing speaks to everyone and resonates with no one.

Messy systems

Tools aren't interconnected. Leads wait days for a reply. You're doing too much admin.

Missing results

Growth is happening. But it's coming from referrals and reputation, not from anything you built.

Services

Businesses do not have a marketing problem.

They have a thinking problem.

Most marketing fails because nobody built the right foundation.
We build that foundation, then automate it.


Strategy and consulting

Senior advice and a roadmap. Know what to fix first.

Brand and messaging

Who you serve, why you’re different, and what to say.

Campaign launches

New product or service? Launched end to end.

Email and lifecycle marketing

Flows that nurture leads while you sleep.

Content and social media

What to post, where and why. A plan your team can run.

Paid ads

Google, Meta and LinkedIn, set up to convert.

Websites and landing pages

Fast, clear pages designed to turn visitors into leads.

Audits and reporting

See what’s working, what isn’t, and where to spend next.

Who we help.
Implementation process

How it works.

Discovery or audit

We find the hidden problems and what's broken.

Most marketing problems are not where clients think they are. Before any strategy, system, or campaign, we find the real obstacle. Where is the funnel losing people? What is the message missing? What does the business think is happening versus what is actually happening?

You get: a prioritised plan

Strategy

We design the solution. You sign off the scope.

Once the obstacle is clear, we design the fix. Not as a list of tactics, but as a coherent system. Who are we speaking to, what do we say, through which channels, in what sequence. Strategy, messaging, and systems that work.

You get: a blueprint and fixed quote

Build and test

We build it, connect it, and test it on real data.

The architecture becomes a real, working system. Websites that convert. HubSpot that runs the way it should. Automations that move leads forward without manual effort. Built properly, not patched together.

You get: a working system

Launch, scale and handover

We go live, train your team, and hand it over.

A system that runs without constant attention. Ongoing support that is strategic, not administrative, to keep the marketing moving, optimise what is working, and adapt when things change.

You get: docs, training, full access

Our story

Evolution beyond obstacles.

sankévo was founded by Isha, a senior marketing consultant with 10+ years of experience building strategy and automations for established businesses.

The gap was obvious. Businesses were stuck between junior freelancers who lacked strategic depth and full agencies that charged a premium for work done by junior teams. Neither was actually fixing the problem.

sankévo sits in that gap deliberately.
A small number of clients at a time, senior thinking applied directly, and a genuine investment in outcomes, not just deliverables.

The name comes from two ideas.
'Sank', from the Sanskrit word 'sankat' - meaning obstacle or burden. 
And 'evo' - evolution and forward movement. 

Together: evolution beyond obstacles. 
That belief drives everything we do.
FAQs

Your questions, answered.

Working together

Who do you work with?

Established businesses that have been doing marketing for years, have the tools, and still can’t point to what’s bringing in clients. Usually there’s a small marketing or sales team, a CRM that was never set up properly, and a founder or manager who wants it fixed rather than managed.

What’s in the free external audit?

A review of everything we can see from the outside: your website, messaging, SEO basics, page speed, calls to action, competitors, social presence and ads. We also send a test enquiry and record how long it takes to get a reply, and what that reply looks like. You get a short written report with the biggest gaps and what we’d fix first. No obligation.

What’s the difference between the free audit and a paid audit?

The free audit only looks at what’s public. A paid audit goes inside your CRM, email platform, analytics, ad accounts and sales data, so we can see where leads actually stall, which channels pay off and which data can be trusted. It ends with a prioritised plan you can act on, with us or without us.

How much does it cost?

It depends on scope, so we don’t publish fixed prices. Every project is scoped first and quoted as a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprise invoices. Ongoing support and retainers are a set monthly fee. The budget question in the form helps us recommend a sensible starting point.

How long does a project take?

It depends on how many tools are involved, how much needs to change, the state of your data and how quickly we can get access and approvals. A focused build is much quicker than a multi-system rebuild or a full website. You get a confirmed timeline in your proposal, once the scope is agreed.

Who will I actually work with?

Isha, directly, from first call to handover. No account managers, no junior team, no briefing chain. If a project needs a specialist, such as a designer or developer, they’re brought in by us and managed by us, and you’ll know who they are.

Do you work with businesses outside Sydney?

Yes. We work remotely with businesses across Australia and further afield. Calls are over video and most of the work happens inside your own tools.

Marketing

We already have a marketing person or agency. Can you still help?

Yes, and often that’s the best setup. We can set the strategy, messaging and systems your team or agency then runs with, or fix the parts they don’t cover, like CRM, automation and reporting. We’re not here to replace people who are doing good work.

Do you write the copy and content, or just the strategy?

Both, depending on what you need. Brand and messaging, website copy, email sequences and campaign copy are written in house. For ongoing content we can write it, or create a plan and briefs your team can run with.

Why start with brand and messaging instead of more leads?

Because more traffic to an unclear message just costs more. If people can’t quickly see who you’re for and why you’re different, every ad, email and page underperforms. Getting the message right first makes everything after it work harder.

Can you manage our paid ads ongoing?

Sometimes. We set up ads properly, with tracking and every lead flowing straight into your CRM. Ongoing management is offered case by case and works best when there’s enough budget behind it to learn and improve each month.

Systems and AI

Is automation worth it for a business our size?

It usually is when a task takes your team several hours a week, follows fairly predictable steps and happens often. Chasing new enquiries, copying data between tools, sending reminders and building reports are common examples. We’d always start with one focused workflow that pays for itself, rather than trying to automate everything at once.

Should a process be fixed before it’s automated?

Usually, yes. Automation makes a process run faster and more consistently. It doesn’t make a messy process better. If the steps are unclear or keep changing, we simplify them first and automate the version your team actually agrees on.

Will AI replace my team?

No. What we build takes the repetitive work off people’s plates: data entry, routine follow-ups, first drafts and reporting. That frees your team for the work that needs judgement, relationships and taste. AI drafts, people decide.

Can you connect HubSpot, Xero or our other tools without replacing them?

Yes. We work with the tools you already use, connecting them through HubSpot workflows, Make, Zapier, n8n or each platform’s own API. Whether a specific action is possible depends on what each tool allows, which we confirm during discovery before anything is quoted.

What if we don’t use HubSpot?

HubSpot is where we go deepest, but it isn’t a requirement. If your current CRM is working, we’ll build around it. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth fixing or moving, and why.

Do you need access to all our systems?

No. We only ask for access to the tools and permissions the work needs. Accounts and logins stay in your name, and we keep admin access only while we’re actively working together or on a support plan.

Is our data safe when you use AI?

We only use AI tools on the data a workflow needs, choose settings that don’t train public models on your information, and keep everything in your own accounts wherever possible. If you handle sensitive client or personal information, we’ll factor in your privacy obligations under Australian law and design around them.

Do we own what you build?

Yes. Everything is built in your accounts, documented and handed over with training and a recorded walkthrough. There’s no lock-in. You can run it yourself, hand it to your team, or keep us on to look after it.

What happens if something breaks after launch?

Every build includes a monitoring and fix period after go-live. After that, you can keep us on a support plan to watch the automations, fix issues and keep improving them, or handle it internally using the documentation we provide.
