Case Studies in Marketing Leadership

How We Drive Results Through Strategic Outsourced Leadership

DTC Brand: 3.2x ROAS Through Multi-Channel Strategy

A mid-market ecommerce brand was running siloed campaigns with no cohesive strategy. We took on fractional CMO responsibilities, unified their email, paid media, and SMS efforts under one strategic framework, and implemented channel-specific optimizations. Within 6 months, their ROAS increased from 1.8x to 3.2x, while CAC decreased 28%. The client eliminated their need for an in-house marketing manager and now works with our fractional leadership team.

Startup: Built Marketing Foundation and Scaled to $2M Revenue

An early-stage DTC startup needed marketing leadership but couldn't afford a full-time CMO. We provided fractional CMO services including ecommerce strategy, paid media direction, and email marketing oversight. By establishing clear KPIs, optimizing channel mix, and building repeatable processes, we helped them scale from $400K to $2M in annual revenue. The founder maintained full control of marketing decisions while benefiting from expert strategic guidance.

Established Brand: Reduced Marketing Costs by 35% With Better ROI

A growing ecommerce company had built an internal marketing team but lacked strategic cohesion. We came in as fractional CMO to audit their operations, consolidate tools, optimize paid media spend, and align all channels around core business metrics. Within 4 months, we reduced their overall marketing spend by 35% while increasing revenue per marketing dollar by 42%. The company reinvested savings into customer retention initiatives.

High-Volume Brand: Optimized Email and SMS for 58% Lift in Revenue

A high-volume DTC brand was underutilizing email and SMS despite strong customer data. As fractional marketing leaders, we redesigned their email segmentation, built SMS workflows, and coordinated both channels with paid media timing. The integrated approach generated a 58% lift in total revenue per email and SMS subscriber within 3 months, directly contributing $1.2M in incremental annual revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between outsourced marketing leadership and an agency?
Outsourced marketing leadership provides strategic direction and high-level decision-making focused on your core business metrics.

Can we start with fractional marketing leadership and scale to a full internal team?
Absolutely. Many clients start with fractional leadership to validate strategy and build marketing foundations, then add internal team members as they scale. We design processes and systems that transition smoothly, ensuring continuity and proven frameworks carry forward whether you build internal team or continue with us.
What channels do you provide leadership on?
We provide strategic leadership on Meta Ads, Google Ads, AppLovin mobile advertising, Email Marketing, SMS Marketing, Creative Strategy, and Ecommerce Strategy. Our fractional CMO services encompass all performance marketing channels and the strategic coordination that ties them together.
