Experience that connects the decision with the work.
Chase & Marshal helps business leaders make clearer decisions and carry them through. We bring business thinking, marketing leadership and practical technology together around the result your organisation needs.
Meet Nardus Oelofse
Nardus is Chief Consultant at Chase & Marshal. His experience spans managing director and marketing and operations leadership roles, consulting, creative work and the development of business software.
He has worked across businesses in different sectors, including pet care, education, funeral services and other service industries. That mix of commercial and operational experience informs a simple question: what needs to change for this business to perform better?
Marketing leadership with a practical view of the business
Nardus has provided fractional CMO support to Pets in the City and Fluffy Ducks. The work connects business priorities with the positioning, customer experience and marketing activity needed to support them.
Through Chase & Marshal, he also develops practical systems and products. The portfolio includes connected sales workflows, internal management tools, customer-facing platforms and brands built around how a business works.
Learning that carries into practice
Nardus holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Auckland University of Technology (AUT) and is a qualified Corporate Governance Professional. His governance studies were supported by a full scholarship. Alongside his consulting work, he has lectured at AUT and regularly delivers guest lectures in Design Thinking and Marketing. He has also been invited to guest lecture on AI in Corporate Governance for the Waikato MBA.
As co-author of Spark: Ignite Your Creativity, he brings a creative perspective to business problem-solving. His consulting, teaching and writing share a practical focus: challenging assumptions, making sound decisions and turning ideas into action.
A team shaped around the problem
Some engagements need a focused piece of advice. Others need someone to lead a programme, coordinate delivery or add a capability the team does not have. We shape the arrangement around that need.
You know who is leading the work and who is responsible for each part. We work constructively with internal teams, agencies and technical providers, bringing specialist input where it adds value.
What you can expect from working with us
We take time to understand the business before recommending a solution. We make the choices and trade-offs clear, connect the work to a commercial purpose and stay close to the people who will carry it out.
You can expect direct conversations, realistic priorities and a clear view of progress. When something is not working, we address it and adjust the approach.
A good fit starts with a meaningful priority
Our work suits established businesses whose next move matters: strengthening marketing, supporting expansion, improving an operation or deciding where AI can contribute.
You do not need a polished brief. A clear description of the problem, its impact and what has already been tried gives us a useful place to begin.
