About

I provide the marketing depth of an agency or full-time CMO at a fraction of the cost. I assess gaps, build strategies, develop tactical plans, assemble the team, oversee execution & roll up my sleeves when needed. My years of experience span both the creative and performance side of marketing. I can fill the roles of CMO, Marketing Director, Creative Director, Brand Strategist and source other roles as needed such as Project Manager, Copywriter, Art Director, Developer, Media Planner & more

I can move fluidly from a high-level go-to-market strategy to working with your team to working with outsources such as writers, designers, and developers who make the campaign real.

What I offer covers the full marketing mix and tactics. * On the digital side, digital advertising, website development and optimization, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), content marketing, email, SMS, social media management, landing page and funnel design, analytics/reporting dashboards, and more. * On the classic marketing side: brand development, messaging and value propositions, creative direction, collateral development (decks, one-pagers, case studies), video and photo production oversight, public relations, event strategy (virtual and in-person), and direct mail.

There are several ways we can collaborate on your businesses success, including: * Fractional CMO * Fractional Marketing Director * Fractional Creative Director * Agency Outsource * Executive Coach / Performance Coach / Team Coach

I’m interested, experienced, and skilled with all of the above.

How I charge reflects the mix of strategy, development, oversight, and hands-on work needed by a specific client. I use a hybrid model: * A monthly retainer for strategic and oversight work. This is based on an agreed-upon hours/month for your engagement * Plus project-based fees for tactical development and execution (campaign builds, content production, ad creative, landing pages, etc.). This keeps the retainer lean, while the project fees cover the actual "making of things." These would be flexible based on needs, and billed at an hourly rate. Projects can be estimated for client approval so there are no surprises. * For clients who need more hands-on execution on a recurring basis, I can also offer a higher retainer that includes a set number of execution hours per month.

If you need marketing support but aren't ready to hire a full-time leader or sign a big agency retainer, I can come in as your marketing partner — scoped to what you actually need, lean and agile. I'm happy to hop on a call to talk through a specific goal or challenge and how we'd structure working together. Please feel free to reach out via email or LinkedIn.
