The Stand-Up
90 DAYS
A complete marketing department, installed. Positioning and messaging, your CRM built and firing, a content engine, a sales enablement library, a campaign calendar, a KPI dashboard, and the Owner's Manual documenting all of it. Not a strategy deck. The machine.

The Retainer

Ongoing fractional leadership for the department we built together. Three tiers, below. You can't buy maintenance on a machine I didn't build, which is exactly why it works.

Your conference, launch, or trade show, directed end to end by someone who has produced roughly a thousand live events. Ask any other fractional CMO to run your annual event. Watch them reach for a vendor list.
