About US

Most VCs / PE firms are…

experts at investing in founders, especially founders who have a big vision, but as you clearly know, vision alone isn’t enough to make a
company thrive. Many are not not marketing experts, they struggle to find it intuitive or cost effective to develop a defensibly strong multi-channel marketing strategy. 

But you don’t have to, a Fractional CMO, gives your holdings the benefit and insight of a CMO without tying up all the capital that is needed for implementation and growth. Your companies will have confidence in direction through our unique Exponential Marketing Framework™ process, along with leadership and key decision making.

“Expertise and leadership you need, predictable results you desire without the unnecessary allocation of capital”.

The Fractional CMO for  VC / PE Firms

Hi, I’m Tom, since early 2000, I have been a performance based Marketing Executive Strategist. With over 20 years of proven success, 14 of those years as a CMO for several different industries and size companies ($100M Founder / Private Equity owned to $1B Publicly Traded) I have focused on propelling the growth of companies, creating shareholder value, profitability and record revenues through sound marketing strategy and building, leading and enabling high performing teams of different sizes from 3 to 33..

No matter the size of your company – with the right marketing leadership, you can steal share and drive the market!

You see, most startup / mid size companies don’t address these issues:

  • Focusing on Marketing.
  • The inevitable blind spot with marketing strategy and campaigns.
  • Proper allocation of capital.

With a Fractional CMO, those issues become opportunities.  Here’s what you could accomplish instead…

  • Marketing leadership, experience and proven results driven strategy.
  • Clear go to market strategy with specific KPIs tracking daily.
  • Transparent reporting resulting in marketing optimization, efficiency and strong ROAS

Quote from this client:

“Tom is by far one of the best partners and teammates I have ever had. Since joining our team he has been one that listens, collaborates, elevates, and challenges. Whether strategizing on marketing, growth, or operations he is a true teammate that will support you and add value.

One of the most important things you need to know about Tom is how team-centric he is.  From the first day he joined our organization he elevated the entire marketing department.  Through both the development of existing team members and the recruitment of rock stars he incrementally increased the capability of his team.

Ultimately, under Tom’s leadership grew a department that improved performance and efficiency while challenging the status quo. I will jump at the chance to work with him again in the future.” COO, YOUfit Gyms
