Where most companies start
Every location solves marketing on its own. Its own accounts, its own agency, its own reporting. Nothing connects.
Fractional CMO
A CMO who works inside your team, not above it.
As your fractional CMO, I own your marketing strategy, budget, and agencies. And I lead the people you already have.

Where this usually starts
You know something's off. You just can't point at it.
- Spend
Spend went up. Revenue didn't.
- Vendors
Two agencies both say their channel is working.
- Reporting
Reporting takes a week and still doesn't answer the question.
- Performance
Some locations are crushing it. Nobody knows why.
- Capacity
Your team is busy. You're not sure it's the right busy.
- Accountability
Somebody asks what marketing produced last quarter and the room goes quiet.
Any of these can come from a dozen different causes. Broken attribution. The wrong tools. A conversion problem dressed up as a traffic problem. Or nobody senior owning the call. Guessing which one is expensive. Finding out is cheap.
How I work
How Andrew works inside your team.
I'm not an advisor who shows up monthly with a deck. As your fractional CMO I run the function, lead the people in it, and answer for the number.
A written plan in 30 days.
Access to every account in week one. A full read on where you stand by week three. A quarterly roadmap with owners, dates, and a sequence by day thirty.
In the room every week.
Weekly working sessions with the marketing team. One-on-ones with the people who report into it. Standing time with you. Not a monthly check-in.
Your people get better.
I coach and stretch the team you already have. Clear expectations, direct feedback, and accountability that doesn't require you to referee it.
Agencies get audited and held to a number.
Every vendor gets reviewed against what they cost and what they produce. The ones earning their fee get a clear brief and a scorecard. The ones that aren't get replaced.
Every dollar has to earn its place.
I own the budget and how it gets split. Spend moves toward what returns and away from what doesn't, on a schedule, against thresholds we set in advance instead of arguing about monthly. I'd rather tell you a location is broken than sell you more traffic for it.
The team gets what it's missing.
Sometimes that's a tool nobody has implemented properly. Sometimes it's a process. Sometimes it's a hire, and I'll source, interview, and help you close them.
The model
Built for multi-location and franchise brands.
Marketing gets messy when a business runs in more than one place. Every location ends up with its own agency, its own accounts, and its own version of the plan. The same work gets paid for twenty times over.
02
Centralize the system
One account structure. One measurement layer. One set of tools and vendors, owned by your company instead of whoever set them up.
03
Keep the strategy local
A shared system is not one plan applied everywhere. Every market has its own competitors, customers, and constraints.
Illustrative
The Local Performance Model™
Once the system is centralized, every location gets sorted into one of four states. What we do next depends on the state. Most of the value is in what we skip.
Underfunded
Real demand. Not enough spend. More money works here.
Broken
Demand shows up and doesn't convert. More money makes it worse.
Saturated
Already capturing the market. Growth comes from somewhere else.
Leaking
Losing ground. The most expensive state to sit in.
Single location, or not location-based at all? The same sort runs on service lines, trade areas, or product categories.
- 01
Baseline
Track the full chain per location. Lead to revenue. Most companies can't do this yet.
- 02
Sort
Every location plotted and assigned a state, plus the dollars sitting in each. That number is usually the finding.
- 03
Allocate
Move the budget first. Optimize second.
- 04
Execute
Each state gets a different playbook. Underfunded gets more spend. Broken gets none.
- 05
Operate
Weekly reviews. Monthly numbers. A quarterly re-sort as locations move.
Proof
What's been built, and what it produced.
A national franchise system, an apartment portfolio, a publicly traded consumer brand, an exotic automotive group, and a career marketplace built from scratch. Different customers, different economics, same question every time: where does the money go, and what did it produce.
National franchise system
$850M+
Revenue generated annually
Built the centralized in-house marketing function for a national franchise organization operating across hundreds of locations and multiple brands. Consolidated fragmented agencies, ad accounts, vendors, and reporting into one operating structure. Built performance-based budget allocation, directed media strategy, and hired and led the team responsible for scaling it.
$150M+ annual media spend · $850M+ annual revenue · $2.5B multi-brand enterprise
Multifamily real estate
8%
Occupancy improvement
Led demand generation for apartment communities across markets nationwide, where success was measured by leases and occupancy, not just leads. Built market-specific acquisition strategies around local competition, inventory, occupancy targets, and cost efficiency while maintaining a consistent portfolio-wide growth approach.
34% qualified lead growth · 24% higher lead-to-lease conversion · 21% lower cost per lease
Consumer software & services
42%
Revenue growth
Led paid acquisition and lifecycle growth for a publicly traded consumer technology brand with a national footprint and self-service software product. Growth depended on efficiently moving users from acquisition through activation and conversion while navigating a highly seasonal demand cycle where timing and budget allocation had an outsized impact on performance.
48% new user growth · 31% higher activation · 22% lower CAC
Two-sided marketplace
61%
Transaction growth
Built and operate a two-sided career marketplace where growth depends on creating demand and supply at the same time. I own the positioning, acquisition strategy, conversion funnel, lifecycle experience, and product decisions across both sides of the marketplace, with revenue tied directly to creating enough liquidity for users to transact.
49% demand-side growth · 38% supply-side growth · 46% revenue growth
Exotic automotive
1 → 5 states
Expanded in under one year
Led growth marketing for an exotic automotive dealership as the business expanded from a single local operation into five states in less than one year. Built the acquisition strategy needed to enter new markets, generate demand, build awareness, and attract high-value buyers in areas where the brand had little or no existing presence.
5-state expansion · New-market demand generation · High-value customer acquisition
The industry changes. The decisions don't.
Data and reporting
Marketing decisions are only as good as the numbers behind them.
Most companies have plenty of data and no clear read on it. Every platform reports a different version of the truth, and the number that actually matters — what a dollar produced — usually lives in a system nobody has connected.
I find those gaps and close them, working with your team or your agency to build what's missing.
You end up with a clear view of where the money goes and what it returns. Same format every month, in terms your business already uses.
