Fractional CMO for B2B SaaS Companies

Strategy by intuition

Two thirds of SMEs in the UK don't have a marketing strategy. Uncertainty is a painful drag when you want to grow your company.

When it's missing:

• You sell to "everyone"
• You cannot plan sales revenue
• You struggle with priorities
• You have no synergy between projects
• You work hard but nothing compounds

Undefined processes

80% of SMEs don't have clearly defined processes that act like a hard ceiling to your company growth - it's impossible to handle more volume without hiring more staff.

When it's broken:

• Inconsistent customer experience
• What should take hours takes days
• If key employee leaves, operations stop
• Competitors move faster with smaller teams
• You work hard but nothing compounds

Skilled people, stuck

Only 46% of employees clearly know what's expected of them at work. Without clear ownership, shared context, and feedback loops, even the most talented people underperform.

When it's broken:

• Projects get started, rarely finished
• Same problems resurface every quarter
• Everyone's busy, but nothing aligns
• Feedback doesn't land, quality doesn't improve
• Energy goes into activity, not progress

Direction

Strategy grounded in data

Marketing strategy - a clear roadmap rooted in your business reality. Not gut feel. Not competitor mimicry. Every decision points in the same direction.

When it's working:

• Marketing and sales aligned on one ICP
• Budgeting backed by data, not opinion
• Your sales cycle gets shorter
• Decisions take minutes, not meetings
• Initiatives compound - nothing starts from zero

Velocity

Systems of leverage

Execution infrastructure — systems, frameworks, SOPs, and AI automation that make marketing repeatable and fast. Not through hustle, but through engineering.

When it's working:

• AI automation across every workstream
• Campaigns launch in days, not weeks
• Playbooks the team runs autonomously
• Founder out of the operational loop
• What takes competitors 40 hours takes you 15

Capability

A self-managing team

Good systems fail when people don't use them. Coaching applied at the right layer — individual, relationship, or systemic — is what makes strategy stick.

When it's working:

• Everyone owns their work from start to finish
• Work blockers get surfaced and fixed
• Same problems do not recur quarterly
• People say what's true, not what's safe
• Output quality improves without adding headcount.
