We speak to Murat Demiral about empowering businesses through commercial strategy, upskilling, and offer development initiatives in order to unlock new opportunities for sustained growth. Best Boutique Start-Up Growth Consultancy 2026 - London Boutique strategic advisory practice, Impactfull Consulting Ltd (Impactfull Consulting) specialises in complex growth and transformation challenges, advising organisations on innovation strategy, competitive intelligence, international market entry, AI strategy and implementation, as well as sales and marketing analytics. Separately, what differentiates the firm is the fact that it also supports startup founders and leadership teams on commercial model development, AI-led productisation of services, strategic positioning, partnership creation, and long-range growth planning. “Our expertise lies in developing and executing impactful growth strategies and go-to-market plans,” explains Murat Demiral. “We empower businesses through upskilling, strategy development, and capability building initiatives. With a focus on enhancing efficiency, we streamline processes to unlock new opportunities for sustained growth.” Impactfull Consulting was founded in 2024 by Murat after he spent 26 years in senior leadership roles in global corporations. Murat wanted to create a boutique consulting firm that has a robust ecosystem partnership with innovators in the areas of research, analytics, AI, business intelligence and expert networks. The mission at Impactfull Consulting is to enable clients to 'Achieve Sustained Growth' with a goal to bring the best expertise at the optimum value to address clients' complex business challenges - anywhere around the world. Murat has noticed trends emerging within the industry, not least that fact that AI is compressing the value chain for insight generation and strategy consulting. Generative and agentic AI are automating research synthesis, knowledge work, and portions of analytical delivery that historically underpinned consulting economics. Likewise, control of first-party data is becoming a structural competitive advantage. Privacy changes and the decline of third-party tracking are reducing the value of broad external data signals, while increasing reliance on permissioned, high-quality first-party data. For market research and consulting firms, this shifts advantage toward players with trusted panels, direct data assets, and strong governance capabilities. Potential impact: stronger competitive moats for firms with proprietary data ecosystems, higher compliance and data acquisition costs for others, and greater client demand for privacy-safe measurement and analytical models. Ecosystems are needed. The industry’s commercial model is being challenged by specialist, outcome-led competitors, Murat tells us. Clients are moving away from large, open-ended engagements toward focused, lower-risk assignments with clearer ROI, while boutique firms are gaining share through specialisation, agility, and alternative pricing models. Potential impact: increased revenue pressure on traditional firms, erosion of premium pricing for undifferentiated services, and a need to redesign offerings around speed, specialisation, and measurable impact. In order to stay ahead of the curve, Murat engages with every part of the ecosystem; large corporates, innovative startups, investors, and other consultants. “We leverage the latest tech in not only building strategic capabilities but also in partnering with our clients for executing implementation plans,” he elaborates. “We differentiate ourselves by building a portfolio of startups that we advise in growth, AI-led offer development, fundraising readiness, partnerships, and long-term value creation. This allows us to stay ahead of the curve as we get direct exposure to latest tech and trends as well as having the ability to provide complementary services leveraging our portfolio capabilities.” Recently, Impactfull Consulting saw success in the UK Enterprise Awards 2026 and clinched the title of Best Boutique Start-Up Growth Consultancy 2026 – London. Now, Murat is firmly focused on the future with plans to invest in AI governance capabilities and build a strong offer to fill the critical gap in the market. “We are also aiming to create a repeatable offer on competitive intelligence by integrating knowledge across multiple platforms, combining with proprietary data systems, and powering with AI,” he states. “Plus, we aim to further expand our portfolio of startups.” Contact: Murat Demiral Company: Impactfull Consulting Ltd Web Address: www.impactfullconsulting.co.uk
