Senior fractional CMO covering Shoreditch EC2A, Soho W1, Mayfair W1J, Canary Wharf E14, Camden NW1 and Clerkenwell EC1. Two days a week, strategy and vendor management for £2,499/mo. We come in when in-house leadership is too expensive and an agency relationship is too transactional. Founders raising rounds, post-Series-A scale-ups, and operators stepping out of the day-to-day.
Most Series-A and B London startups need senior marketing leadership before they can afford a £180k loaded VP. Fractional CMO bridges 12–24 months: same calibre, two days a week, working from your office in Shoreditch (EC2A), Soho (W1), King's Cross (N1C), or remote with weekly in-person.
Engagement covers: GTM strategy, brand positioning, channel mix selection, agency / vendor selection and management, in-house hiring (we interview your first 3 marketing hires), executive comms, and quarterly board pack. We don't run paid ads ourselves — that's a vendor decision, not a CMO job.
Three engagement tiers: Standard (2 days/wk, £2,499/mo), Pro (3 days/wk + agency portfolio review, £3,999/mo), Premium (full-board accountability + IC participation, £6,999/mo). Minimum 6 months to see compounding effect. We work with London-based companies only — in-person presence matters at this seniority.
A typical engagement breaks down like this. Every line is in your fixed-price proposal — no day-rate ambiguity.
