The problem

You invest in marketing. Who is leading it?

Agencies, campaigns, website, social media: each supplier often works on its own and the owner ends up coordinating them in spare moments. What is missing is someone who sets priorities, controls the spending and answers a simple question: what is actually working?

Who it is for

If you recognise one of these situations

  • You work with one or more agencies and end up managing them yourself
  • You pay for ads, a website and social media but cannot tell what is working
  • Marketing decisions are made by suppliers, or by nobody
  • You need a marketing leader, but a full-time hire does not make sense yet
What we do

A senior marketing leader, on your side of the table

We step into your marketing the way an in-house director would: with the big picture in mind and the ability to get hands-on when needed.

Direction

Priorities and plan

We agree objectives, priorities and budget with you and turn them into a plan with owners and deadlines.

Suppliers

Agency and supplier coordination

We tell each supplier what is expected and check it gets done. You can keep the people who already work with you.

Control

Budget and results

We read the numbers from campaigns, website and sales enquiries and tell you clearly where to invest and what to stop.

Execution

Hands-on work

When needed we work directly on campaigns, tracking, CRM, automation and digital tools. Hands-on activities are agreed in the proposal.

Reference

One point of contact

A single reference for marketing decisions, who knows your company and turns the suppliers’ work into concrete choices.

Innovation

Marketing and AI

We assess where AI and automation can save time or improve lead management, without forcing it.

Questions

What companies usually ask us

How is this different from an agency?

An agency carries out specific activities. A Fractional Marketing Director looks at the whole picture: sets priorities with you, coordinates whoever executes, agencies included, and checks that the spending really serves the business. When useful, we also get hands-on.

Do we have to change agency or suppliers?

No. You can keep the agencies and professionals you already work with: we coordinate them and become your point of reference. If something is not working, we tell you clearly and decide together how to act.

Do you also do hands-on work?

Yes, when needed: for example on campaigns, tracking, CRM, automation and digital tools. Which activities we carry out directly is defined during the analysis and written into the proposal.

How long does the engagement last?

It is an ongoing engagement, not a fixed-term package. Duration and terms are agreed in the proposal, based on your needs.

Will you bring more leads or revenue?

Nobody can honestly promise that before seeing the numbers. We commit to working on clear priorities and measuring results with you.

Do you work with companies outside Italy?

Yes. We work in English and Italian. Meetings are held online, scheduled on Central European Time at a time that also works for your time zone.
