Fractional CMO & Marketing Strategy Services for B2B SaaS Companies
Writer-first marketing leadership with zero ramp-up time. From product launches to growth campaigns to interim coverage, mid-market software and SaaS companies get 15+ years of enterprise strategy and hands-on execution from day one.
What a fractional CMO does for a B2B software company
Many software companies build a good product and then struggle to explain who it is for, why it matters and how to reach those buyers. That is the gap I close. As a fractional CMO, I provide senior marketing leadership without a full-time hire: I define your positioning and messaging, build the marketing plan, shape the go-to-market approach for launches, and run the content, social and search work that carries it out. I also make sure your content is clear and well structured enough to be found and quoted by AI assistants as well as search engines.
I have done this work from both sides. Earlier in my career I directed go-to-market strategy, campaigns and sales enablement for enterprise compliance software, and wrote messaging platforms and buyer personas for technology brands. I also bring an owner's perspective from founding and running a small retail business for seven years. Since late 2024 I have served as fractional CMO for a seed-funded climate risk analytics startup, where I lead positioning, content, website and search strategy, and performance reporting. I write alongside your team rather than hand over a strategy deck and disappear.
Frequently asked questions
What is a fractional CMO?
A fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who works with a company part-time or on a defined engagement. You get strategy and direction at the level of a chief marketing officer without the cost of a full-time executive.
When does a company need one?
Typical signs are a product that is hard to explain, no clear marketing plan, a launch coming up, an interim gap in marketing leadership, or content that is not tied to pipeline.
How is this different from hiring an agency or a full-time CMO?
An agency usually delivers a defined service. A full-time CMO is a long-term hire. I work between the two: I set the direction, then write and edit alongside your team so the plan gets carried out.
What does an engagement look like?
Each engagement is scoped to your goals. You tell me about your project, I follow up with a proposal, and we start with the work that matters most.
What industries do you work in?
I focus on B2B technology and software companies, including SaaS, compliance and risk, and climate analytics. I also have experience as an industry analyst and consultant in the telecommunications industry, and I founded and ran a small retail business for seven years, which shapes how I think about customers and budgets.

What We Do
We develop strategic content that bridges the gap between what your technology does and why it matters. From white papers that educate early-stage researchers to case studies that convince decision-makers, every piece is crafted to meet buyers where they are and guide them forward.
Our approach is grounded in understanding both the technical nuances of your solutions and the real-world challenges your audiences face.

How We Work
We don't just write about technology. We decode it. Every project begins with understanding your solution's technical foundation, then mapping that knowledge to the specific personas and buying stages that drive your business. The result is content that educates without overwhelming, persuades without hype, and positions your brand as a trusted guide in complex markets.
Whether you need thought leadership that establishes authority, sales enablement content that closes deals, or educational resources that nurture prospects, we bring the strategic insight and technical fluency to make it happen.
