As a business owner, you wear too many hats: CEO, CTO, COO, CMO — all the Cs, plus a few execution roles. No wonder things start to slip through the cracks!
When you’re in charge of everything in your business, marketing is often the last thing on your mind. Perhaps you go through the everyday motions — publish on social media, update your website regularly, even email your list.

When did you last feel like you’re running a business and not the other way around?
Or trusted that your marketing approach will help you meet your yearly or 5-year goals?
This is where I come in: 17+ years of experience across industries and continents, 400+ brands helped or advised, and $millions generated in revenue.

There are thousands of blog posts, YouTube Videos, courses, and books that claim to have the best marketing advice out there — you know them, I’m sure you’ve tried quite a few.

There’s no shortage of information in the marketing world. The real problem is separating the wheat from the chaff and figuring out what’s right for you.

  • Should you pay for ads?
  • Go all-in on LinkedIn?
  • Invest in SEO?
  • Hire a PR agency to get you featured on CNN?
  • Build an affiliate program?
  • Get more email subscribers?

There are hundreds of channels out there and millions of possible combinations and permutations.

I’ve tried all of the above and many, many more for my clients. I can spare you hundreds of hours of trial and error and hundreds of thousands of $ wasted on useless experiments.

Let’s figure out your growth — together.

Could you use better results, more time, energy, and money without sacrificing consistency? If so, there’s a significant chance we’ll get along.

Let’s find out

The shortest possible explanation: I handle the high-level marketing strategy, you and your team handle implementation.

As a Fractional CMO, I focus on two key areas:

  • Profit increase
  • Efficiency increase

My goal is to make your business as profitable and as efficient as possible on the tiniest possible budget.
As your Fractional CMO, I’m fully immersed in your business — without the overhead that a regular employee entails.

I run your marketing and strategic development alongside you and your team following a simple process:

1

Diagnosis
We figure out what’s not working, what could be working well, and what are some of your missed opportunities.

2

Strategy roadmap
We’ll plot the shortest course to get you from point A (where you are right now) to point B (where your company can realistically be with proper marketing guidance).

3

Implementation and execution
You get the full playbooks — templates, documents, how-tos, detailed processes for you and your team to implement and execute everything in minute detail. Ongoing, for the duration of our collaboration.

4

Exit
The ultimate goal is for you to outgrow me, and to be able to handle everything together. I’ll let you know when that happens — neither of us profits from me overstaying my usefulness.

  • Weekly strategy call
  • Unlimited chat or email correspondence (within reason) and a guarantee that you will get a response within 36 business hours at most.
  • Unlimited feedback on all your assets: websites, social media profiles, landing pages, and so on.
  • Team management — if you have a marketing or marketing-adjacent team, I’ll make sure their focus goes where it should.
  • A strategic partner — I’m in your corner every step of the way, supporting you with everything you need, from figuring out the right wording on your landing page to making tough business decisions.

Eliminate hundreds of hours of testing and skip straight to what has the highest chance of working. I can help you with:

  • Strategic planning for successful growth — for businesses that will be around within 5 years
  • Attribution and reporting
  • Forecasting
  • Budgeting
  • Channel diversification
  • SEO and content marketing strategy
  • SOPs, process building, and implementation
  • Messaging and tone of voice

Here’s the thing: “Jack of all trades, master of none” is not the full quote. This is it: “Jack of all trades, master of none, often better than master of one”.

Read more abut me

Hi, I’m Adriana Tica.

To date, I’ve worked with over 400 brands, from budding solopreneurs to Fortune 500 companies. From solopreneurs and Etsy shop owners to tech giants and mining companies, I have figured out a path to grow for most industries out there.

The tactic you’re thinking about? I’ve probably tried it for myself or one of my clients.

My diverse experience allows me to pull ideas from one industry and apply them to another. Who says all SaaS companies have to sound the same? Or that your tech business can’t “steal” a page from solopreneurs. 

I love breaking patterns and norms! Do you?

If so, we’re a good fit for each other!

My specialty is building effective marketing processes and SOPs — assets you can use for years after we stop working together. 

With this Fractional CMO service, my goal is to put you on the right track to success, whatever that means for you, from scaling to 7,8, or 9 digits to finally finding the freedom your business was supposed to bring you.

Is this right for you?

This is right for you if:

  • You run a small to medium company
  • You’re a solopreneur or a digital entrepreneur
  • You either don’t have a marketing team or your marketing team is very small (1-3 persons, mostly focused on execution)
  • You’re tired of chasing the next shiny object and you want to build a sustainable marketing strategy
  • You need expert guidance to improve your marketing tactics and processes
  • You’re not afraid to “kill your darlings” and experiment with new tactics

NOT so right

This is NOT right for you if:

  • You already have a CMO (we can talk about one-off consulting packages instead)
  • You don’t have a proven offer i.e. a service or a product that already had some happy buyers
  • You’re looking for someone to write all your landing pages, emails and social media posts. It makes no sense for me to focus on execution, you can get that much cheaper somewhere else. I will, however, give you feedback and do light editing on everything you plan to publish.

To hire a CMO, you’d have to shed upwards of $338,000/year (according to Glassdoor). This doesn’t include bonuses, health insurance, office rent, and more.

How many companies or digital entrepreneurs can afford that?

Very few, in my experience!

Better yet, you probably don’t even need a full-time CMO.

What most of my clients actually need is:

  • Someone to bring clarity to the table → what opportunities are there for me?
  • Finding the right channels → should I be on ALL social networks?
  • Built-in scalability → how do I diversify my channels without a huge budget or a huge team?
  • Direction and strategy → how do I align my strategy with my business goals?
  • Fluff-cutters → should I jump on the next cool trend? 

A Fractional CMO can do that for you at a fraction of what a full-time CMO costs. 

Plus, you get to work with someone with decades of cross-industry experience — so that your brand doesn’t sound exactly like your competitors do.

One last thing

You CAN do it all alone, but it will be more painful

Option 1: The Lone Wolf

  • You spend hundreds of hours researching tactics
  • You spend a few other hundreds of hours testing and iterating
  • You hire the wrong people
  • You spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads, hoping they will fix your problem.

You either rage quit or settle for mediocre results and 1/10 of the revenue you could be making.

Option 2: We work together

  • You get only the information that matters, no fluff
  • You get the expertise and the processes you need to scale — fast.
  • You don’t waste time and money on assets and ads that bring mediocre results
  • You don’t pay multiple 6 figures for a full-time CMO.

You scale quickly and sustainably.

Remove pain, friction, and time wasted.

What is a Fractional CMO

A fractional CMO is a part-time outsourced position that fills the role of a marketing leader without the multiple 6-figure budget needed for a full-time role. A Fractional CMO acts as an in-house advisor and manager and is a criss-cross between a consultant and a freelancer.

Do I need a Fractional CMO?

Yes, if you’re a business owner wearing too many hats and if your marketing activities are spread among you and multiple freelancers who never communicate with each other. You need someone to bring everything together and get everyone rowing in the same direction.

How is a Fractional CMO different from a Marketing Executive?

A Fractional CMO is focused on strategy rather than execution. For instance, a Fractional CMO won’t build your website or write your copy but they will coordinate the web designer and the copywriter to make sure that the messaging and the branding are right.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

No, and I’m sure it’s easy to understand why: this service is limited to three businesses — I never take on more than three clients because there isn’t enough time. If I say “yes” to you, I have to say “no” to someone else.

All of my consulting clients thus far have been more than happy with the results, even if they only spend one power hour with me. The chances of you NOT seeing results if you implement my processes are slim to none.

Can you help me put together a marketing team?

I can connect you with multiple independent contractors in marketing or marketing-adjacent fields.

What if I need help with producing marketing assets?

If you need help with actual deliverables (website, copywriting, content writing, social media management, and so on), I can either put you in contact with vetted contractors or offer you a discount for my writing agency’s services.
