How we work
Focused, discreet engagements designed to minimise disruption
Clear Contact Advisory delivers focused, discreet engagements designed to reduce unnecessary digital exposure for senior professionals, particularly during periods of increased visibility.
The work is practical, proportionate, and intentionally limited in scope.
Engagement approach
Engagements are typically completed in a single confidential session, lasting between 60 and 90 minutes.
This format reflects how the issue most often arises: suddenly, unexpectedly, and with a need for swift, contained resolution rather than ongoing involvement.
Where appropriate, the session is followed by a short written summary outlining actions taken and any recommended next steps. There are no ongoing retainers unless explicitly agreed.
1
Audit
We begin by identifying how and where personal contact details are being surfaced across professional profiles and third-party platforms.
This typically includes:
-
Reviewing LinkedIn visibility and profile configuration
-
Identifying external platforms where email addresses or mobile numbers are accessible
-
Prioritising the sources most likely to generate unwanted outreach
The focus is on the practical drivers of disruption rather than compiling an exhaustive inventory.
2
Remediate
We then reduce exposure in a targeted and proportionate manner.
This may include:
-
Tightening visibility settings while preserving professional credibility
-
Initiating removal or opt-out requests with relevant platforms
-
Advising on which actions are effective, and which commonly are not
Where possible, remediation is carried out live during the session, with the client present and informed throughout.
3
Maintain
Some data providers refresh or republish contact information periodically.
We provide practical guidance to help minimise reappearance and, where appropriate, carry out light-touch re-checks over an agreed period to identify material re-emergence as external data sources refresh.
Any follow-up work is optional, proportionate, and does not require ongoing effort from the client unless changes are identified.
What this is not
Clear Contact Advisory does not provide marketing, sales, or lead-generation services.
We do not:
-
Sell, license, or monetise personal data
-
Use automated scraping or monitoring tools
-
Place individuals on mailing lists
-
Operate volume-based or productised programmes
The work is intentionally narrow and advisory in nature.
Working with recruiters and investors
Recruiters, investors, and advisers often encounter this issue when individuals move into more visible roles.
Clear Contact Advisory is used as a low-friction, independent referral in those situations, allowing individuals to address disproportionate outreach without creating commercial dependencies or conflicts for referring organisations.
Confidentiality and discretion
All engagements are confidential.
Information shared is used solely to deliver the agreed service and is not retained beyond what is necessary to complete the work and any agreed follow-up.
Discretion is the default, not an add-on.
Getting started
Engagements typically begin with a short initial conversation to confirm relevance and scope.
Where appropriate, work is then scheduled at a mutually convenient time and completed efficiently and discreetly.
