Project Manager| Digital Marketing Manager| Fractional CMO/ COO|

Hi, I’m Laura Briggs, a fractional CMO/COO, marketing strategist, and publishing consultant with 13+ years of experience helping professional-services firms, authors, agencies, and growth-stage companies turn ideas into scalable revenue and visibility systems. I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution. I don’t just build plans, I help clients implement them. Whether you need senior-level marketing leadership, launch support, operational systems, or someone to bring structure to a growing business, I step in as an embedded partner without the cost of a full-time executive hire. I’ve led initiatives across legal services, publishing, coaching, software, creative services, real estate development, and revenue acceleration companies, managing everything from marketing strategy and content ecosystems to project management and team operations. Here’s how I help: Fractional CMO & Strategic Leadership I step into the marketing leadership role to build multi-channel growth strategies that connect directly to business goals. This includes content strategy, SEO, social media, speaking opportunities, video, PR, email campaigns, partnerships, and paid advertising. Marketing Operations & Growth Systems Great marketing requires strong systems. I build and optimize operational workflows including CRM setup, SOPs, dashboards, team processes, project management systems, and contractor oversight so your business scales without chaos. Project & Team Leadership I’ve managed cross-functional projects involving writers, designers, developers, media teams, coaches, legal professionals, and subject matter experts. I keep projects moving, stakeholders aligned, and deliverables on track. Author Platform & Book Launch Strategy As a book coach, publishing consultant, and author myself, I understand the unique challenges of building authority through books. I create launch systems that include platform strategy, content marketing, pre-order campaigns, podcast outreach, Amazon optimization, thought leadership initiatives, and long-term audience growth. Content & Thought Leadership Development I write, ghostwrite, edit, and direct content designed to position businesses and individuals as leaders in their industries. This includes blogs, LinkedIn content, articles, email campaigns, website copy, educational materials, speaking materials, and executive thought leadership. Data & ROI Focused Marketing I believe marketing should be measurable. I focus on performance metrics, conversion improvements, cost-per-lead analysis, funnel optimization, and making sure marketing activities contribute to actual business outcomes rather than vanity metrics. Clients work with me when they need someone who can zoom out and create the strategy, then zoom back in and execute the work. I bring the structure of an operator, the mindset of a marketer, and the flexibility of a consultant. I am also a five-time author and three-time TEDx speaker. My sixth book, American History with a women's focus, is coming out in 2028. Let’s connect and discuss how I can help move your business forward. "Laura has served as our fractional CMO for 5+ years.
