The Marketing Manager You Deserve, but Thought You Couldn't Afford
Now, you can have a proven senior level marketing manager regardless of your business size or revenue.
I work for just a few companies all of whom contribute a small fraction to my overall compensation. This unique model allows companies that may not have a Marketing Manager, or think they can only afford entry level talent, to get the benefits of an experienced marketer with a proven track record of success.
I have over 35 years of experience guiding dozens of B2B companies on the path to marketing and sales success. From strategy to tactical implementation, I have the knowledge, experience, and hands-on skills to help bring your business to the next level.
And, I'll do it at a fraction of the cost of a full-time marketing manager.

In my 35 years as an advertising agency account executive and principal, I have had the opportunity to work with some great companies - large and small - across a wide range of industries in the B2B space.
While some may find the subject matter dry or unexciting, I'm always enthusiastic about digging into new products, industries and sales channels.
While by no means comprehensive, the chart provides a good representation of the types of industries and businesses in which I have had success.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire Me?
First of all, it costs nothing to talk with me.
If after doing so a partnership makes sense, I'll work with you to develop the best possible arrangement that allows you to meet your marketing goals without breaking the bank.
We can establish an hourly agreement where I provide a certain number of hours per week or month
You can put me on your payroll as a part-time employee with no benefits for as many hours per week as we think necessary
You can hire me on temporary basis to help get through an important project like a new product launch, website, etc. With a flat fee for the project paid out in weekly, bi-weekly or monthly installments
I take a more consultative role and act as a sounding board / mentor for in-house personell with a weekly, monthly or quarterly meeting
Whatever the arrangement is, you can be certain it will only be a FRACTION of the cost of hiring an in-house marketing manager.
