Why hire me as your Fractional CMO?

A Fractional CMO is the part-time executive who runs your marketing team and is responsible for all your marketing outcomes. As your Fractional CMO, I will find out your goals and what has worked so far and create a comprehensive marketing plan to achieve those goals. I will make sure your team is performing well and in good spirits. I’ll also put in the systems and processes to make your marketing department a reliable asset to your company. I’d love to hear your goals and help you reach them with marketing that gets results.

Marketing Leadership

Your company’s marketing department requires a strong and experienced leader to confidently make decisions and effectively lead the marketing team toward success.

A comprehensive marketing strategy tailored to your niche and industry is essential to achieve success in your business. Therefore, you need a Fractional CMO with extensive experience to ensure your marketing efforts are on point and effective.

Rob Grant, Chief Strategy and Innovation OfficerMercury Healthcare

I worked with Jim while I was CMO at Evariant. Jim helped us both on a strategic and tactical basis in developing and executing both our creative look and feel and messaging. Jim is very thoughtful in his approach, incredibly easy to work with, and has a depth of understanding in healthcare marketing that few possess. I highly recommend his work in any type of digital marketing initiative in the healthcare space.

Jim possesses a strong logistical core yet can still deliver persuasive dialogue and engage heavily with his clients. At the heart of it all is Jim's unique sense of business style and his ability to find compromise within the chaos and against all odds.
