After a decade of navigating the turbulent waters of agency marketing and experiencing firsthand the reactive tactics and ad hoc strategies that often define the industry, I decided to step away from the status quo. The all-too-common agency churn and burn, coupled with what I call ""random acts of marketing,"" had run its course in my career. The desire for a more impactful and proactive approach to marketing led me to establish my own venture. Now, as a Fractional CMO for small, service-based businesses, I leverage my expertise to not only establish but also significantly enhance their marketing efforts. This is achieved through an entire outsourced marketing department, ensuring that every strategy is meticulously planned and executed. My areas of expertise include marketing strategy & planning, messaging & content, SEO, social media and deriving actionable insights from data analytics. By adopting a strategy-based and data-backed methodology, I ensure that the businesses I partner with not only witness growth but also enjoy enhanced profitability. My approach is straightforward: transform marketing into a powerful engine that consistently drives more revenue for your business.
