Our Focus is Growing Your Business

In my work with many organizations–from non-profits to small and large businesses–there is one thing I’ve consistently noticed: thriving businesses don’t happen by accident. Businesses who are successful have a plan in place.

Many struggling entrepreneurs make the mistake of thinking marketing can be managed through social media or simply running some ads. But in today’s world, it’s hard to break though to your ideal customer.

No matter what you sell or what industry you’re in, you must communicate your message clearly to an audience who is seeking a solution. Then sell to them, serve them, and send them to be ambassadors who tell others.

That requires a thorough understanding their pain, knowing the types of questions they ask, and being aware of what triggers them to buy before they even seek a solution.

Businesses traditionally hire an in-house marketing team or an agency to do this job, but the cost of hiring makes it outside of the reach of many small businesses or new startups.That’s why we offer a Fractional CMO service for smaller and growing businesses.

By choosing a Fractional CMO, you’ll have the advantage of an experienced marketing team without the cost and commitment of hiring. My team and I will assess your needs, prioritize custom solutions, and implement them at a pace that’s right for you…

👉 …at a fraction of the cost of a big agency.

Isn’t it time to take the next step to build the business you dream of and the financial freedom you deserve?

What is a Fractional CMO?

 
A Fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) is a marketing strategist who works with your organization on a limited, part-time basis. We’ll work with you to define your strategy, create a roadmap, and manage the implementation of marketing services for you, so you can focus on what you do best: running your business. 
 

Move from Overwhelmed to Overcomer!

Marketing can be overwhelming for anyone. With so many tactics available–search engine optimization (SEO), ads, social media, email marketing, and more–many find themselves in  marketing rabbit holes that aren’t producing results. 

For marketing to be effective, it takes a well-planned, customized strategy. 

Truth is, like a jar that can’t read its own label, it’s almost impossible to assess marketing from inside your own company. That’s why so many in-house marketing departments struggle. They are unable to see their marketing the way their customers do.

My team and I start by assessing your business. Then we look at your goals and objectives and determine the level of help you’ll need to reach them. 

Every business and every budget is different, and your strategy will be customized to reflect your unique needs.

With more than 30 years of experience working with small businesses, large corporations, and nonprofits, we can create a marketing strategy that will work for you.

What We'll Analyze

  • Your Competitive Market

    Before we begin, it's crucial to thoroughly analyze your competitive market landscape. This involves assessing not just direct competitors, but also indirect ones that offer similar products or services.

  • Your Brand

    Your brand is the core of your business and how you want to be perceived by your target audience. It encompasses your values, personality, and unique selling proposition. A strong brand identity differentiates you from competitors and builds trust with customers.

  • Your Website

    Your website is often the first point of contact for potential customers, so it's essential to make a positive impression. A well-designed, user-friendly website that is optimized for search engines can improve your visibility online and drive traffic.

  • Your Social Media

    Social media has become important for businesses to engage with their audience, build brand awareness, drive customer loyalty, and create a direct line of communication. A good strategy prevents it from becoming a time and energy trap.

  • Your Content

    Content is a powerful tool for engaging your audience and driving traffic to your website. Relevant content that addresses your audience's needs can establish you as an authority in your industry.

  • Your Email Marketing

    Email marketing is a powerful tool for nurturing leads and retaining customers. Personalized, relevant emails can keep your audience engaged and convert subscribers into customers. Segmenting your email list based on customer behavior and preferences allows you to deliver targeted messages that resonate with your recipients.

  • Your Advertising Strategy

    Whether you're using social media ads, Google Ads, or traditional media, it's essential to have a clear goal and your target audience in mind. Your results depend on a clear strategy.
