Senior marketing leadership, without the full-time cost
If you’re searching for a Fractional CMO in London or anywhere in the UK, you’ve come to the right place. I provide flexible, senior-level marketing leadership for B2B SaaS and technology companies that need traction and growth but aren’t ready to commit to a six-figure, full-time CMO.
Based near London, I work with companies across the UK and beyond. Most of my work is delivered remotely, but I can easily commute into London for on-site strategy sessions, board meetings, or team workshops whenever needed.
Why Choose a Fractional CMO in London?
London and the wider UK tech ecosystem is packed with early-stage startups and scaling SaaS companies. Many have raised seed or Series A funding, built strong products, and landed their first customers — but still lack senior marketing leadership.
Hiring a full-time CMO can cost £120,000+ per year. (£150,000+ with national insurance, pension, and other benefits). With a fractional engagement, you get the same strategic direction and experience at a fraction of the cost, with the flexibility to scale hours up or down as your business grows.
What I Do
- Go-to-Market Strategy
Define your ICP, sharpen your positioning, and identify the right mix of channels (SEO, product-led growth, account-based marketing, app marketplaces, paid campaigns). - Demand Generation
Build repeatable systems that create qualified leads, signups, and pipeline, not just clicks and impressions. - Messaging & Positioning
Clarify your story so investors, prospects, and customers instantly understand why you exist and why it matters. - Marketing Operations & Tech Stack
Set up and optimise tools like HubSpot, Customer.io, Salesforce, and Google Analytics so you can measure what works and cut wasted spend. - Team & Budget Leadership
Manage in-house marketers, agencies, and contractors. Align spend to growth goals and report clearly to leadership and investors.
How It Works
- Flexible engagement: typically 1–2 days per week.
- Immediate impact: I focus first on quick wins while building a longer-term growth plan.
- Transparent pricing: flat monthly fee, no bloated agency retainers.
