For consumer tech and lifestyle brands ready to move beyond to-do list marketing.

I
The CMO in the room.

Fractional Leadership

Senior CMO oversight on a project, part-time or consultancy basis — steering the brand and the marketing function in line with the business trajectory.

"In quarterly and monthly planning, I'm the experienced marketing voice that integrates the specialism into wider business strategy. The temptation to jump to tactics is large; my specialism is creating a principled operation for successful marketing outputs."

— Holly, on the work
II
Altitude on a fragmented picture.

Strategic Audit & Diagnosis

A high-altitude troubleshooting of fragmented marketing efforts to redefine marketing's role within the business.

"I audit existing efforts to define the role marketing needs to play, build the narrative framework that makes the work coherent, and ensure leadership stays focused on what actually moves the business — not just what's loudest this week."

— Holly, on the work
III
A long-term strategic mirror.

Advisory & Accountability

Long-term strategic coaching to keep leadership focused on high-level priorities rather than reactive tactics.

"Picking apart the knots of what your marketing truly needs — understanding user behaviours, defining thresholds and data signals, reshaping organisations, outlining hires, and setting briefs up for success."

— Holly, on the work
IV
Project-based brand architecture.

World-Building

A concentrated sprint to architect your brand's narrative and the supporting marketing strategic framework, from the ground up.

"I help leadership identify what actually matters, build the brand world that holds it all together, and stay accountable to the priorities that drive long-term growth — not another item on the to-do list, a clear view from above."

— Holly, on the work
V
New offering. For early-stage and pivoting brands.

Vision Alignment

I design the blueprint for your marketing function — building the brand's world, determining the specific job marketing needs to do, and establishing the strategic priorities required to build a high-impact team.

"The blueprint, before the build. Define the world, define the job, define the team."

— Holly, on the work
§ A note on engagement

Every engagement begins
with a diagnosis.

Before contracts and scopes, a conversation. I want to understand the business you're building, the audience you're speaking to, and the gap between today's marketing and the brand world you know it could be. From there, we choose the right shape of work.
