Fractional Head of Marketing

Fractional head of marketing for small DTC brands.

Leading your marketing without the full-time expense

I step in as a part-time marketing leader for small direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, helping you grow revenue, build community, and make smart, sustainable decisions without the cost of a full-time hire. Think of me as an extension of your team, not another vendor.

  • Campaign briefs & deliverable tracking
  • Performance reporting beyond follower count
