Why growth feels harder than it should

Scaling a B2B technology business is complex. Marketing, sales, and commercial strategy all need to work together, yet many organisations lose that alignment as they grow.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Unclear ICP & positioning

    Who to target and why you win isn’t codified, so campaigns underperform.

  • Misalignment between marketing & sales

    Different messages, different dashboards, slower revenue.

  • Dependence on personal networks

    Pipeline fluctuates with referrals, not a repeatable engine.

  • Rising spend, flat results, unclear ROI

    Hard to prove what’s working, harder to scale it.

  • Fragmented data & tools

    Disconnected systems create reporting gaps and rework.

  • Slow, inconsistent handoffs

    Leads stall between teams and momentum is lost.

Whether you’re a mid-sized business without the capacity to cover each discipline, or a larger organisation struggling to connect teams, you’re not alone.

Missed opportunities, wasted budget, and slower growth are the result of gaps in strategy and execution. Savvy MKTG closes them.

FAQs

What does a Fractional CMO engagement look like?

A part-time executive partnership focused on outcomes. We set clear objectives, establish cadence with your team, and combine strategy with hands-on execution. Scope and rhythm are tailored to your stage, resources, and targets.

What’s the difference between a Fractional CMO and a marketing agency?

We own the growth strategy and ensure the right work gets done, providing accountability for results. Agencies are excellent for production and channels; we lead the plan, align marketing with sales and commercial goals, and decide what gets built and measured.

Who will I work with day-to-day?

You’ll work directly with Chris and, when needed, a small vetted network of specialists. No handoff to juniors, no disappearing act.

How do you measure ROMI?

We align on business outcomes first (pipeline, revenue, payback), then instrument funnels and handoffs. Every initiative has a clear hypothesis, metric, and review cadence.

Do you execute, or only advise?

Both. Strategy plus hands-on execution with your team and partners—so plans actually become pipeline.

What kinds of results should we expect?

Clarity fast (what to stop/start), early wins in priority channels, and compounding gains as alignment and systems improve. We commit to initiatives we can measure.

Is this right for us if we already have a marketing team?

Yes, absolutely. We act as the senior leader that aligns marketing with sales and commercial, sharpens positioning, and unblocks execution while your team keeps running.

What’s the engagement model and commitment?

Two common paths: Fractional CMO (ongoing leadership, part-time) or project-based (discovery → 90-day plan → activation). Terms are simple and flexible.

Can you support hiring or providing interim leadership?

Yes. Chris can step in as interim CMO or help hire/coach your future lead while keeping momentum in market.
