How I Work With You

The Framework: Build-Drive-Transfer

Build. I build the function after collaborating with you and your leadership team — brand and positioning, CRM and marketing automation, the content engine, ICP frameworks, sales enablement. The actual system, built by the person who's accountable for it working.


Drive. I run what I built. Weekly direction, all action items and deliverables in a project management dashboard, internal team direction, agency and vendor management, reporting your CFO will actually read, a KPI framework tied to outcomes your partners already care about — not vanity metrics dressed up as strategy.


Transfer. When you're ready, I hand it over. To your team, to the marketer we hire and I help develop. Agencies and external vendors aligned. The systems keep running and you own the playbook. I believe a marketing function that run without me tied to it is the best advertisement I have.

Engagement Scope of Work & Pricing

Marketing Assessment

$5,000, three weeks, fixed scope. Up to six stakeholder interviews, a full review of your website, CRM, campaign and pipeline data, brand materials, and competitive set. You get a written assessment: a constraint diagnosis, a positioning verdict, a 90-day roadmap, a KPI framework, and a recommended operating model — presented to you and your leadership team directly. It also includes a straight answer if the honest one is "you don't need a fractional CMO." If we move forward within 30 days of the presentation, half the assessment fee credits toward your first month.

The Embedded Fractional CMO Engagement

$8,000 – $15,000/month, scoped to what your firm actually needs — full strategic ownership, brand and content direction, CRM and MarTech guidance, agency management, sales enablement, and a KPI framework reviewed monthly. This is the Build and Drive phases in practice: hands-on, accountable, and reported on in language your leadership team already speaks. Strategic leadership, not day-to-day copywriting or design production — I manage the people and vendors who do that work, I don't compete with them for it.

After Transfer: the Advisory Relationship

$3,500–$4,500/month. Once your marketing function has a person running it and agencies doing the work, what's left is governance: a quarterly business review, a monthly coaching session with the marketer we hired and developed together, and an agency performance review — plus one board or partner-meeting appearance a quarter if you want it. This isn't a discounted version of the embedded engagement. It's a different role, for a function that's already running, from the person who built it.

What I build lean systems with

Part of building a function that outperforms its headcount means using the tools that let one person do what used to take a team. I integrate AI across research, content, and campaign architecture — not as a feature I'm selling, but as how the system gets built lean enough for a $15M–$50M firm to actually afford executive-level marketing leadership. I also source, scope, and manage external agencies who demonstrate effective ROI and specialized expertise so my time is spent on the highest level value for your goals. 

Each engagement varies based on what your business goals are and the capabilities of your internal team. But one thing is consistent, I own your marketing function and optimize it around all the modern skill sets (functions) needed to grow revenue in 2026. Here are but a few of the most relevant ones:
