Three ways to bring an
executive to the table.

Every engagement starts the same way — a strategy conversation about where growth is stuck. From there we pick the shape that fits your stage, your team, and the business result you need.

Staci Cretu, fractional CMO and executive growth operator for B2B founders

My Approach

Most companies don't have a marketing problem. They have a positioning problem.

  • No clarity on who you're actually for.
  • No clarity on why buyers should choose you over the alternative.
  • No clarity on how marketing, sales, and product create growth together.

My job is to create that clarity at the leadership table and build the commercial systems — positioning, GTM, alignment, accountability — that turn it into growth.

The result is sharper positioning, pipeline that keeps pace with revenue targets, and a marketing function that finally reports up to the business.

How We Work Together

Strategic Marketing Projects

Fixed-scope sprints for companies not ready for ongoing help.

Get positioning, GTM, demand gen, or AI strategy done right — once. Most project engagements naturally lead into a longer fractional relationship, but they don't have to.

2–4 weeks

Marketing Audit & Roadmap

The ideal first engagement. Website, messaging, funnel, CRM, demand gen, SEO, analytics, and AI readiness reviewed end-to-end. You get a 30-page report, a prioritized roadmap, and an executive presentation.

4–6 weeks

Go-to-Market Strategy

ICP refinement, positioning, messaging, pricing recommendations, launch plan, content strategy, and sales enablement — the executive-ready plan your team can run against.

4 weeks

Product Marketing Sprint

Positioning, messaging, launch plan, sales deck, and website recommendations for a product, category shift, or category launch.

4–6 weeks

Demand Generation Strategy

Funnel analysis, campaign strategy, channel recommendations, KPI dashboard, attribution model, and quarterly plan — the demand engine sales can forecast against.

2–3 weeks

Founder Messaging Intensive

Clarify positioning, differentiate from competitors, build the messaging framework, and refine website copy — often the fastest path from stuck to selling.

3–5 weeks

AI Marketing Strategy

AI workflow assessment, tool and agent recommendations, content and sales workflows, and an implementation roadmap. Most fractional CMOs aren't offering this.
