Marketing depends on you
Every campaign, every decision, every follow-up still routes through the owner's desk.

The bottleneck
The company kept growing. The marketing function didn't.
Growth feels inconsistent
Good months and quiet months, with no clear reason for either. Nothing compounds.
Spending without confidence
Budgets go out the door and the answer to "is it working?" is still a shrug.
Jim Reynolds · Fractional CMO
I've sat in your chair. I'm still in four of them.
I know what it feels like to carry payroll on Friday and still be the person rewriting the email that goes out Monday. The pressure was never the marketing. It was being the only one who could see the whole picture.
I started seven companies and still own four — travel, pest control, film production, and a digital agency. Four crossed seven figures. All four are growing without me now. That's not a brag. It's the job description.
I've built growth strategy for more than 200 companies over twenty years, always alongside owners rather than in front of them. First I listen. Then we decide what growth should look like for your business. Not for a category. Not for a competitor.
Twenty years. Two hundred companies. Four of my own that no longer need me.
Why we're different
Few companies get a great strategy. Almost none have it executed with speed.

How we work
A rhythm, not a retainer.
01
Discover
We start on the phone with you and your team — what's working, what's stuck, what the numbers actually say.
02
Roadmap
A whiteboard session that ends with one page: the priorities, the sequence, and the revenue they're tied to.
03
Execute
James runs the work. Owners, deadlines and weekly meetings — with your team or ours doing the doing.
04
Review
A standing KPI review. Numbers on screen, decisions made, next sprint set before the call ends.
Success stories
Owners who got their business back.

Fit
We'd rather tell you early.
A good fit
- Founder-led company between $3M and $50M in revenue
- Wants marketing off their plate — permanently, not temporarily
- Ready for disciplined weekly execution and real accountability
- Has a product or service that customers already come back for
Not a fit
- Looking for the cheapest possible vendor
- Wants one campaign, not a growth function
- Not willing to be in the room for decisions that need the owner
- Pre-revenue, or still testing whether the offer works
Imagine owning the business again.
One conversation. We'll tell you what we'd do first, whether or not you hire us.
