Fractional marketing leadership for B2B companies that already do good work
Based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Working with B2B teams across Phoenix and nationwide. Pipeline first, vanity metrics never.
What a fractional marketing leader does
A fractional CMO gives you senior marketing leadership without the cost of a full-time executive. I own the strategy, the positioning, the content, and the go-to-market plan. Then I build the system your team or your agency runs.
You get one accountable person who answers for pipeline, not a deck and a retainer.
Who this is for
Successful B2B companies with a real product, real customers, and marketing that has not caught up. You have sales traction. You have a small marketing team or none. Your founder or CEO is still carrying too much of the story.
If your work is already good and the market does not know it yet, we should talk.
What I own
Go-to-market strategy and positioning
Content strategy built to produce pipeline, not impressions
Answer engine and generative engine optimization (AEO and GEO), so you are the answer when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI
Sales and marketing alignment: handoffs, cadences, and enablement
Events and experiential marketing
Technical foundations: structured data, site structure, and local search
Agentic AI workflows that keep content and reporting moving without adding headcount
Why search changed the brief
The SEO versus AEO debate misses the point. Buyers now get answers from language models, and those models cite sources they can read, parse, and trust. That is a content, structure, and credibility problem. It is not a keyword problem.
I do this work by hand, from the HTML and structured data up to the content strategy. I am not advising on it from a distance.
How we work together
Engagements run six months or more. Marketing that compounds takes longer than a quarter, and I would rather be a long-term partner than a short-term fix.
We start with a conversation about what you sell, who buys it, and where marketing is stuck. If there is a fit, we scope the engagement together.

Hi, I'm Jaclyn.
I've spent 18+ years running demand generation, content strategy, paid media, and GTM operations for B2B companies. I don't just advise. I build the campaigns, write the structured data, run the ads, and set up the workflows myself, then teach your team how to own them.
My bias: pipeline over vanity metrics. If it doesn't move revenue, it doesn't make the plan.
Built for companies that are already winning
I work with successful companies that have a great product, happy customers, and momentum, and are ready for marketing to match. You've proven the business works. My job is to make sure the market knows it.
How we can work together
Fractional CMO partnership: Long-term, senior marketing leadership. I own strategy, budget, team direction, and reporting to leadership. Engagements start at six months, because real results compound over time.
Project-based consulting: Focused help on one high-impact area inside a partnership: AI search visibility (AEO + GEO), paid media, a content engine, marketing ops, or agentic AI workflows.
Team training and workshops: Hands-on sessions, lunch-and-learns, and offsites that build skills your team keeps.
Your first 90 days
Days 1 to 30, diagnose: Audit your channels, data, messaging, and team. Find the quick wins and the real problems.
Days 31 to 60, build: Stand up the strategy, fix the measurement, and launch the highest-leverage programs.
Days 61 to 90, run: Optimize what's working, cut what isn't, and set your team up to own it. From there, the growth compounds.
Who I've worked with
SmartRent, Peerlogic, MarketingProfs, Marketing Land, Content Amplified, NarrativeWave, and more.

Frequently asked questions
What is a fractional CMO?
A fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who works with your company part-time or on retainer. You get executive-level strategy and leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
How is a fractional CMO different from an agency?
An agency executes tactics. A fractional CMO owns the strategy, sets priorities, manages the team and vendors (agencies included), and is accountable for results.
What size companies do you work with?
Established, successful B2B companies that are growing and want marketing to amplify what's already working. If you're past the "prove it" stage and ready to scale, we're likely a fit.
How long is a typical engagement?
Six months or more. I work as a long-term partner, not a quick fix. The first 90 days build the foundation, and the months after are where the growth compounds.
Do you only work with companies in Phoenix and Scottsdale?
No. I'm based in Scottsdale and love working with Arizona companies, but I partner with B2B teams anywhere.
