When a CMO consultant makes sense
You need a second opinion on strategy
Before the next quarter, raise, or rebrand - get a senior marketing voice who's done it across 20+ verticals to pressure-test the plan.
Your in-house marketers need a sparring partner
I coach your VP, head of growth, or marketing manager on roadmap, prioritization, and channel decisions on a weekly cadence.
You're spending and not sure why it's not working
Independent audit of your funnel, attribution, and channel mix - with a written diagnosis and a list of what to cut, keep, and double down on.
You're evaluating a CMO hire or agency
I help you scope the role or RFP, write the JD, interview candidates, and avoid the six-figure mistake of the wrong leader at the wrong stage.
What a CMO consulting engagement covers
Marketing strategy review
ICP, positioning, channel mix, and 90-day plan reviewed against your revenue goals and runway. Written deliverable, not a slide deck.
Channel and funnel diagnosis
Independent audit of SEO, paid, content, lifecycle, and analytics - with a prioritized fix list ranked by impact and effort.
Team coaching and 1:1s
Weekly or bi-weekly coaching for your marketing leader or in-house team. Pipeline reviews, prioritization, and unblocking.
Board and investor materials
Help shape the marketing slides for board meetings, all-hands, and investor updates. Numbers your CEO can defend.
Hiring and vendor selection
JD writing, candidate sourcing, interview panel support, and agency or freelancer vetting so you stop overpaying for the wrong fit.
On-call strategic support
Slack, email, and ad-hoc calls for the surprises - a new competitor, a product launch, a paid channel breaking, a CMO leaving.
How a CMO consulting engagement works
Intake call
A 30-minute call to understand your goals, stage, current team, and what's actually broken. No pitch deck, no slides.
Audit and diagnosis
Two weeks to dig into your funnel, channels, analytics, and team. You get a written diagnosis with prioritized recommendations.
Advisory cadence
Weekly or bi-weekly working sessions, async Slack access, and quarterly strategy reviews. Typically 4-8 hours per week.
Review and renew
Quarterly check-in on what shipped, what moved, and whether to continue, expand scope, or transition to a fractional CMO role.
