Your suppliers run the show.
You pay agencies, contractors, and freelancers, but nobody senior on your side is holding them to a strategy. Decisions get made in your inbox, by whoever shouts loudest.
Fractional Marketing Director
Senior marketing leadership.
Without the senior marketing salary.
I am a fractional Marketing Director for growing B2B service businesses who need a decision-maker, not another agency.

The problem
If any of this sounds familiar, you already know why we should talk.
You cannot justify a full-time hire.
A senior Marketing Director with 10+ years of experience costs $150k plus on-costs, fully loaded, and you do not have enough marketing volume yet to keep them busy. So the role stays empty.
Marketing is a cost, not a system.
Ad spend, content, website tweaks, all happening every week, but nothing connects to revenue and nothing tells you whether to spend more or less. You feel busy and blind at the same time.
How I work
A senior marketer in your corner. Not on your payroll.
I embed as your fractional Marketing Director on a small retainer. Roughly four hours of director time per month, three month minimum, no lock-in beyond that. You get the strategy, the supplier oversight, and the ROI reporting that a $150k hire brings, for the price of a junior coordinator.
I keep my client list to a maximum of five at any one time. That is a deliberate constraint, not a sales line, and it means you get a senior marketer who actually has your context loaded when you call.

Five clients at a time. One spot at a time.
I take a maximum of five retainer clients at any one time. If you think you might be the right fit, the easiest move is a 30 minute discovery call. No pitch, no slide deck, just a conversation.
