The fractional CMO who builds your AI workflows and proves the payback
Grow profitably with AI.
Then prove it paid back.
For CEOs of investor-backed scale-ups whose board is asking what the AI and growth spend returned.
AI projects stall when nobody has written down how the business works, or agreed how the result will be measured. We do both first. Then a senior operator sets up AI workflows with your team and shows your board the return in cash, from numbers you can test yourself.
Track record
Is this you?
- Your board or investors want to know what the AI and growth spend returned, and the only numbers you have come from Google, Meta and the agencies that took the money.
- You have a marketing lead but no senior marketing leader above them, and you're not ready to hire a full-time CMO.
- An AI pilot, a tool or an agency hasn't stuck.
How we work
Groundwork
2 weeks · £15,000, fixedWe map how the work really gets done, with the people who do it, and give each process an owner. With you and your CFO we agree the one number our work will be judged on. You leave knowing what to fund first and what to leave alone.
Build and run
3 months+ · from £5,000/monthWe build AI workflows with your team, on a knowledge base drawn from how your business works and what your customers say. A person approves anything public. Your team owns everything we build.
Prove
In your board packOne card: the before, the after and the full cost (tools, AI usage, our fee and team time), next to what Google, Meta and your agencies report. Your marketing lead presents it with you. We aim for first signals within a month.

Straight advice
Some of it will be to leave things alone. Want a tools list or an AI slide deck? We're the wrong people.
