Marketing Partner for SMBs & Startups | Strategic Marketing Plans

Marketing Partner for SMBs & Startups who need a clear growth system. I help you build 90-day roadmaps, 6-12 month marketing plans and fractional CMO-level strategy - without hiring full time. Running a small business or startup means you’re making decisions fast - often without the luxury of a full marketing team. You don’t need random tactics. You need clarity, direction, and a focused marketing system that actually drives revenue. That’s where I come in. I’m a senior marketing strategist and former global marketing leader with 20+ years of experience building digital marketing systems for SMBs, nonprofits, and growth-stage organizations. I help founders cut through the noise, set the right priorities, and turn scattered marketing efforts into a clear, actionable plan. What I Deliver I specialize in creating marketing systems that are simple to follow, aligned with your goals, and designed to generate consistent growth. My work typically includes: - 90-Day Strategic Roadmaps: crystal-clear priorities, tactics, and success measures so you know exactly what to do next. - 6–12 Month Marketing Plans: a full, strategic blueprint covering brand, content, SEO, ads, audience strategy, website improvements, and measurement. - Fractional CMO Support: ongoing partnership for teams who want senior-level guidance without hiring full-time. - Marketing infrastructure setup: clear messaging, positioning, audience definition, funnels, and conversion strategy. I particularly love supporting: - Small businesses and startups without an in-house marketing team - Founders and business owners who need expert direction, not just task execution - Companies that want measurable results, not vanity metrics How I Work You get clear communication, honest feedback, and a calm, strategic approach that cuts through complexity. I don’t overwhelm you with jargon. I build plans you can actually use — and help you stay focused on the activities that matter most. If you’re ready to bring structure, clarity, and results to your marketing, let’s connect.
