Growth Leadership for Emerging Brands

You’ve built a brand with soul, a product that works, and a vision that’s starting to catch fire. But you’ve hit the "Growth Ceiling." You know you need a Marketing Director to navigate the next 18 months, but the high overhead of a senior hire—even at a fractional level—doesn’t align with your current runway.

I’m changing the math for high-potential brands.

I offer a senior-level force for your business that prioritizes long-term equity over short-term fees. I’m looking to partner with a select few founders where I can trade my experience for a stake in our collective success.

1

Senior Leadership, Shared Risk

Strategic Weight. Shared Success. I am opening up a limited number of partnerships for "high-potential, right-fit" brands. Instead of a traditional fee-heavy structure, I offer a Hybrid or Equity-Based Compensation Model.

What this means for you:

  • Reduced Overhead: Lower monthly retainers to protect your runway.

  • Vested Interest: I become an active stakeholder in your brand’s valuation.

  • Skin in the Game: My "fee" is tied to the value I help create.

2

Short, Medium, & Long-Term Force

  • Short-Term (The Foundation): We stop the "random acts of marketing." I’ll audit your current efforts, tighten your positioning, and ensure every pound spent is working toward a clear KPI.

  • Medium-Term (The Engine): Building repeatable growth loops. I lead the implementation of the strategy, managing internal teams or external vendors to ensure flawless execution.

  • Long-Term (The Exit/Scale): I act as your strategic North Star, preparing the brand for its next major milestone—whether that’s a Series A, a retail expansion, or an acquisition.

3

The Ideal Partner Criteria

  • Product-Market Fit: I want to pour fuel on a fire that’s already burning.

  • Scalable Infrastructure: Your operations must be ready to handle the growth I drive.

  • Collaborative Founders: We’ll be working in the trenches together; the chemistry has to be right.

  • Clear Vision: You know where you want to go; you just need the roadmap to get there

The Value

  • 16+ Years of Agency & Brand Experience.

  • 0% Fluff. No bloated retainers.

  • 100% Alignment. If the brand wins, we win together.

Not a Pitch, a Conversation. 

This model isn't for everyone. It’s for the brands that are ready to go from "scrappy start-up" to "market leader" but need an experienced hand to support.
