Consult · Comms With AI
Talk it through. Leave with a plan.
Consult Comms With AI is a 45-minute working session and a written advisory note. It is for the moment when the question is no longer which template, but which call to make, in what order, and what to weigh against what.
£300 → a 45-minute session and a written advisory note.
Where this sits
- Free The template library: 62 templates, prompts and workflows.
- £300 Consult Comms With AI. A session and an advisory note.
- £600+ Deploy Comms With AI: the documents, built for your team.
What it's for
The session between a template and a project
The free library does a lot of the work. It will take you a long way on its own. There comes a point, though, where the useful question is not which template to open. It is which order to do things in, which trade-off to accept, and which call only you can make.
Consult Comms With AI is the session for that point. It is a focused, practical conversation about your actual situation, followed by a written note you can act on and share. No preamble, no pitch.
Comms leaders
Weighing an AI policy, a governance route, or how to brief the board.
Agency owners
Deciding how to put consistent, client-ready AI practice in place.
Founders
Communicating well without a comms team, and knowing where AI helps.
What you get
Two things, both useful the same week
01
A 45-minute session
A working conversation, not a sales call. Bring the real problem. We spend the time on your situation: what you are trying to do, what is in the way, and what the sensible next move is.
- → Held on a call, at a time that suits you
- → One specific decision, properly worked through
- → Honest about what AI does and does not do well here
02
A written advisory note
A short note follows the session. It sets out what to do, in what order, with the templates, tools and steps chosen for your situation. It exists so the thinking does not evaporate once the call ends.
- → Sent within three working days
- → Plain English, written to be shared internally
- → A sequenced plan, not a transcript
How it works
Three steps, start to plan
Book and brief
Tell us the decision you are facing. A few lines is enough. Ready in 15 minutes.
The session
45 minutes on a call, working through your situation together.
The advisory note
A written note follows within three working days, so the plan is yours to keep.
The £300 is not a cost on top
Creditable against Deploy
Consult is the entry paid rung into Deploy Comms With AI. If the session points to a Deploy package and you go on to book one, the £300 is credited against it. You pay it once.
What Consult is not. It is not Deploy. It will not hand you a finished AI use policy or a document suite, and it is not a training session. Consult gives you the decision and the route. Deploy builds the documents. The free template library is there for everything you can do yourself.
Who you'll be talking to
Delivered by Michael MacLennan
Consult Comms With AI is delivered by Michael MacLennan, founder of Faur and creator of Comms With AI. Michael combines two decades of senior communications work (Brunswick, Red Bull, Barclaycard, and charity-sector leadership roles) with hands-on AI capability built through an Imperial College machine learning credential and live implementation across multiple sectors. The session is a conversation with a practitioner, not a script.
Common questions
Questions about Consult
What is the written advisory note?
After the session you receive a short written note. It sets out what to do, in what order, with the templates, tools and steps chosen for your situation. It is written in plain English so you can share it with colleagues, and it exists so the thinking from the call does not evaporate once the call ends.
Is the £300 creditable against a Deploy package?
Yes. Consult Comms With AI is the entry paid rung into Deploy Comms With AI. If you go on to book a Deploy package, the £300 is credited against it, so the session is never a cost on top.
How is Consult different from Deploy?
Consult gives you a decision and a route in 45 minutes plus a written note. Deploy Comms With AI builds the documents: AI use policy, governance framework, tool deployment instructions and more, tailored to your team. Consult helps you work out what you need. Deploy produces it.
Do I need to have used the templates first?
No. Many people book Consult having never opened the library. The session works just as well as a starting point as it does after the free templates have taken you part of the way.
What happens after the session?
That is up to you. Some people take the advisory note and run with it themselves using the free library. Others use it as the brief for a Deploy package. There is no obligation either way.
