I'm spending more on marketing every quarter and still can't tell you what it returns.
Budgets go to agencies, ads and tools, but the reports show clicks and impressions, not revenue. You're signing cheques on faith.
Fractional CMO for SME founders and CEOs
Your marketing
should make money,
not mysteries.
You're spending more, approving everything, and still can't say what's driving revenue. I join your leadership team part-time to fix that: one strategy, clear numbers, and a team that delivers without you.

What founders tell me
If you've said any of
these, you're not alone.
Marketing is busy. I just don't know if it's working.
Posts go out, campaigns launch, content gets made. But there's no single strategy connecting it all to the numbers you care about.
I'm still the one making every marketing decision.
Your team waits for your approval on everything. You became CEO to lead the business, not to review ad copy at 11pm.
We've burned through two agencies and a junior hire.
Each one promised growth. Each one needed you to tell them what to do. Nobody owned the outcome.
A full-time CMO costs more than our entire marketing budget.
You need senior leadership, but a €200k+ executive hire, plus a six-month search, is a bet you can't afford to get wrong.
We want to enter a new market and nobody here has done it.
New region, new language, new buyer. Guessing your way in costs a year and a lot of money.
The real problem
It's not a lack of effort.
It's a lack of senior ownership.
Agencies execute. Junior marketers follow instructions. Someone has to own the strategy, the budget and the result. Right now, that someone is you.
