About Vanessa Sammut
MBA-qualified Fractional CMO and strategic marketing expert
Trusted growth partner





I created AlwaysOnMarketing to support scale-ups and ambitious service businesses with expert marketing planning, implementation support and coaching to boost momentum. After more than two decades leading marketing across multiple industries in B2B and B2C, I now work directly with founders and marketing teams as a Fractional CMO.
I bring well thought out strategy backed by my experience of launching products and scaling brands in Australia, UK, Europe and North America, and I support you to carry out your marketing plan with data-informed decisions.
My goal is to help you grow, leaving you feeling confident in front of the board, your team performing, and your brand standing out.
