Experience a better kind of marketing
The three key ingredients for growing your business
Why it matters
Most businesses lack a growth strategy. They run campaigns without understanding their own differentiation, identifying their ideal customers, or analyzing the competition. And so, the campaigns fail to connect.
How to make it work
As your fCMO, I immerse myself in your business and use proven methodologies to develop your strategy. I use our new strategy to create campaigns that resonate with your ideal customers. This is the fastest and most effective way to generate leads.
Why it matters
If you only know how to react to the market, you won’t succeed. You can’t attract quality leads by trying to chase trends, undercut rivals, or distract people with outbound ad campaigns. You can hire an agency, but they won’t really understand your business or your customers.
How to make it work
As your fCMO, I will build your in-house competency. I will identify the people, tools, and processes to make your marketing effective. I’ll pick the right CRM and marketing software and create a repeatable 90-day system so we can learn, iterate, and not simply react.
Why it matters
Business leaders often make marketing one of their many responsibilities. They wear too many hats, so they never develop marketing strategy or capabilities. But marketing isn’t something you can do on the side anymore — it’s specialized and constantly evolving. It requires continuous iteration by an expert who’s accountable to your business.
How to make it work
As your fCMO, I provide you cost-effective and low-risk access to expertise and leadership. I take ownership of your marketing and help you not only develop a marketing system that grows your business but also put the right people in place to keep it working.
Start with a strategic marketing plan.
We use a proven system to identify your competitive advantages and create brand messaging that inspires your ideal clients to take action.

Hear from our clients
We feel our messaging is very targeted now. The process helped us really define our target market and make our messaging very specific. Our leads have become regular – around one per week, just from our website.
Jamie Lustfield
Account Manager, A Couple of Gurus
Scott will take you through foundational work so that you can better understand the clients your company is pursuing. That foundational work is incredibly important and valuable.
Mark Friedman
Managing Director, Baan Thai
Working with our fractional CMO got us to focus on what makes us different and how to get that message across. We’re now able to expand our messaging to target the specific industries that align with our long-term goals.

Our proven 3-phase process for sustainable growth
The only marketing solution that gets less expensive over time.
Phase one
Your marketing strategy
Through research and a series of 1:1 calls, I will learn all about your business. I will then work with you to define your areas of differentiation and highlight your strengths.
I will create customized brand messaging and find the best ways to get that message to your target audience. Your business begins building a body of marketing content that empowers your sales team to close more deals.
Phase two
Your marketing capabilities
With your strategy defined, I will uses this phase to make sure we have the right people, tools, and processes for executing that strategy and monitoring the results.
Phase three
Ongoing marketing guidance
With your system up and running, I will adapt our engagement level as needed, staying on as marketing lead or transitioning to a coach or advisor role.
My ultimate goal is to replace myself with a full-time internal marketing leader. This is a sign of your growing in-house competency, and that your marketing system will keep working even after our engagement ends.
Can I help you reach your goals?

Drop of a hat guarantee
Business leaders need to wear a lot of hats. It’s exciting, but also stressful. I guarantee that within the first 30 days of working together, you’ll know your marketing is in good hands. It’ll be one less hat you have to wear. And if you don’t feel this weight off your shoulders, I’ll give you your money back.
Tremendous upside and zero risk!
Frequently Asked Questions
On the fractional CMO tier, I will assist with recruitment. However, I will need support from your HR team. For instance, I’ll need HR to publish job postings, conduct phone screenings, and check references. As your fractional CMO, I will interview candidates and assess their marketing acumen, but I will rely on others within your organization to assess culture fit.
No, I have just a 30-day rolling commitment. If you need to downgrade or cancel, simply email me on or before your billing date and you will be charged your final payment at that tier. I do not process partial or prorated refunds.
Monthly. The first month’s invoice must be paid before work can begin.
Yes, I offer a 30 day money-back guarantee. If we agree to a partnership and we later discover it’s not a good fit, you’ll get 100% of your first month’s payment back. It’s seriously zero risk.
No, we can begin our engagement at the fractional CMO or marketing advisor tier. However, the most common path is to start at the fractional CMO level and reduce the engagement level over time. This is because building the marketing foundation is the most time consuming part of the process. My goal is to build a self-sufficient team from within your organization. After about 6-9 months, once the appropriate team members are hired and trained, I will take a step back and act as a coach until the team is confident on their own. Then I will remain accessible as an advisor for as long as you need me.
Yes, I do. The tiers listed in the table above represent pricing for the most common scenarios based on my experience. Once we get on a call, we can work together to define the engagement level that best sets you up for success.
