Fractional CMO + Creative Direction
Five directors.
One partner.
A fractional CMO on direction and strategy, embedded in your business. Not a freelancer you brief and hope. The person who sets the direction, owns the standard, signs off on the work, and plans where it goes. Two working sessions a week, with the supporting design work that keeps it moving. $5K/mo for the first three months, then $10K/mo on six to twelve month terms. If that's not your number, bring yours and we'll build around it.

The Math
One seat. Five jobs.
Five salaries you don't pay. A bench you don't manage. One partner who answers for all of it, and has the production teams to back it up.
Any product or service business. Established teams or day-one brands. We've seen the whole lifecycle enough times to know what moves the needle, and what's just noise.

How It Works
Earn the seat, then keep it.
Stage 01
Discovery & Onboarding
$5K/mo · 3 months
Two working sessions a week. You finish holding four things most businesses never actually have: a brand and presence audit, a positioning and messaging doc, a channel and distribution plan, and the visual direction the work runs inside. Those drive every decision after.
Stage 02
The Partnership
$10K/mo · 6 to 12 month terms
The seat is yours: a fractional CMO on direction and strategy, two working sessions a week, and the supporting design work that keeps it moving. Production is separate, billed at cost, below our one-off rates.
Or: Custom
Your Budget
Name it
We can work with most budgets. Approach us with yours and we'll build the package together, scoped honestly to what it can actually buy.
We keep the roster short. New partners come on as we expand or a seat opens. That's what keeps the standard high and the attention real.
Apply for the Next Seat →Nothing in life is guaranteed. This is the closest you get to paying someone to really give a sh*t about your brand.
We know how to work with any product or service business. With teams. With brands that are established, and ones that don't exist yet. We make the media with intention, and we distribute it so it earns its budget.
Any Brand. Any Scale. One Standard.
