In our former careers as line managers, we've hired consultants and we know that a couple of top caliber people add more value than an army of poorly directed "footsoldiers". We typically work in small teams of just 2-4 consultants. By working collaboratively with the client team we leverage their resources and get a lot more done for less money. All our consultants can work across marketing disciplines, from strategy to capability build, from consumer segmentation to brand development. This means they are able to see "the big picture", apply their skills where it counts, and really get to know a client's business.
