Fractional CMO for Scale-ups
Senior marketing leadership without the full time cost
As you scale, you need senior-level marketing direction to align your team, strengthen your funnel and hit your revenue goals. But hiring a full-time CMO might not make sense yet.
I’m Vanessa Sammut, a Melbourne-based Fractional CMO with 20+ years of experience helping scale-ups, start-ups and established brands successfully grow across Australasia, North America, Europe and the UK.
Are you pivoting to respond to market shifts, or growing your reach in Australia or overseas? I work with you as an embedded strategic lead giving you the direction you need.
Whether you have an established marketing team, or are still building your in-house marketing capabilities, I develop a marketing plan fit for implementation with your available resources, ensuring you achieve the consistency and repeatability you require to scale.
Work with me, a senior strategist who leads the charge and helps you deliver, all without the overhead of a full-time exec hire.
