Go-to-Market Strategy
Launching a brand? Assessing current brand architecture? Not sure what you need but know you need help? I have launched a national brand from scratch and participated in many rebrands during my career. From strategy and name generation to copy tone and design language and beyond, my experience will guide the way.
“We need more leads!” How many times have you said this? My core competencies are building brand awareness, improving consumer engagement, increasing search and site traffic and, ultimately, generating leads.
I have spent the better part of two decades in agency and client-side strategic marketing — most recently leading marketing for a booming national franchise that I helped launch. My experience is now your experience.
If you are launching a new product or service within a current line or launching a brand new one altogether, let’s develop your go-to-market strategy. How will we capture market share and generate leads that convert to revenue? These are questions I will answer for you.
Both Sales and Marketing speak to your customers, but they do so at different times along the journey. It is imperative they speak the same language and convey the same messages. I can ensure this happens.
A true passion of mine is building and leading cross-functional teams that consistently achieve results and drive innovation. If your current marketing team needs some guidance, let’s talk.

What is a fractional CMO?A fractional CMO is a highly experienced Chief Marketing Officer who works with a company on a consulting basis rather than as a full-time employee. Because they spend a fraction of their time with a business, they receive only a fraction of the pay.
-
How do I know I need a fractional CMO?If you currently do not have a CMO, you have one about to go out on maternity leave, or if your Marketing Department is underperforming, outsourcing your Marketing leadership to a fractional CMO can be a highly cost-effective and efficient solution to a short- or medium-term problem.
-
What type of ROI will I see from a fractional CMO?Without marketing, there are no leads. And without leads, there are no sales. A fractional CMO will lead your marketing efforts to improve brand awareness and demand generation in your target market, delivering ROI you will see in your bottom line.
-
Do you only work with Franchisors?No. It just so happens that is my niche and what I am passionate about. However, my 20-year career has allowed me the opportunity to work for QSRs, DTC brands, e-commerce, travel and tourism and higher education. Marketing is marketing. You are hiring me for my thinking and expertise.
-
What is your process?It will vary depending on the engagement and your business needs. However, at the highest level, I will conduct discovery meetings, analyze data and research and articulate it into the strategy you need. You will have the brand, marketing or go-to-market strategy you need to execute to achieve your goals and objectives.
