Your Co-Pilot

You are in it to win it, but have some gaps in your early stage business. That’s what I am here for. You will get high level experience and guidance at an engagement level that complements you and your team.

Let’s figure out what you need (unless you know already) to drive BIG success. Mostly, I like to get involved and stay involved. I end up as an advisor or investor. I don’t just come in and work for a couple of weeks and leave, however I will roll up my sleeves to get some highly impactful things done!

I’ve played Founder Co-Pilot, Interim or Fractional CMO, CMO whisperer, category disruptor, business development maven, sales fixer, funnel optimizer, fundraiser, and more!

I can provide strategic guidance or dive into execution. Most of all, I like to be collaborative and to help you MOVE THE NEEDLE.

Let's Work Together

Every engagement needs customization, but typically they fall into these categories below.

Which OPTioN RESONATES MOST FOR YOU?

 

Mostly for Start-ups/ Early Stage

Option 1: Get on track!

Setting up a business from the beginning? What is your brand? How will you market? Who is your customer? What’s your value proposition? Who are the right hires? Is your category clear, or will you have to educate on it? Let’s get all the basics down for optimal success right from the beginning!

Option 2: Grow it right. 

So you’ve been at it for a little bit. You know who your target client is. You’ve had some marketing success. You are starting to make money! It’s time to make sure you are set up for long term success. Leaving money on the table is lost opportunity, and leaking people out of your marketing funnel is good for no one! Plus, as you add people to your team, you want to make sure they truly understand your mission,vision, and culture so they can take the reigns and go with it! Let’s take a look at what you have, and what you need and grow this baby!

Operational Businesses Needing a Tune-Up

Option 3: Supercharge a piece of it all 

Maybe you have a great team, but a hole in one place. For example, is the newsletter strategy working? Are you making money off your emails? Are people opening them? Is the content good? Does the template make sense for a lower level person to fill in smartly in line with your founding vision? Or, maybe it’s a different piece? How is your grass roots marketing? What are you tracking? Why is no one motivated to hand out brochures!? Or, PR? You don’t want to hire a fancy PR firm at this stage, you just want to get it done! Let’s supercharge

Option 4: Turn it around

Something isn’t working, and you aren’t sure why! Let’s dig in and see where the problem really is, and then: LET’S FIX IT! Sometimes it seems like it is one thing, but it’s really another. Whatever it is, lets get to the bottom of it - and turn it around!

Growth Time!

Option 5: Ready, Set, Announce!

Got it all suited up? Ready, let’s go.  A strong marketing funnel, a killer team!  If you have a great story, a solid brand, and everything ready to go, we can help you get yourself on the map! We have the contacts galore to do your market entry! From digital ads and emails to press and podcasts to speaking engagements to more traditional marketing…This will be curated based on your business, your team, your core-competency, and most of all YOUR opportunity! Let’s Seize the day!

Option 6: Connect, Connect, Connect

This one is super simple. Need some new accounts or opportunities? We do business development really well. We will take an audit of what you are doing in your business development pursuits and we will help brainstorm new channels, categories, partners. We will make sure we have the right materials available to pitch, and then we will GO!
