Need a strategic partner inside your agency?
I partner with brand, creative, and digital agencies as an embedded strategist, bringing CMO-level thinking to your pitches, campaigns, and client growth work.
Services I support
I quietly plug in where your team’s stretched or the brief’s still forming.
Hourly support or scoped project work available.
No hand-holding needed. Only sharp, focused help when you need it most.
Why work with me
You’ll get a Fractional CMO with two decades of experience leading marketing in SaaS, EdTech, and Finance across UK, Australasia, and North America.
I'm a dual citizen of New Zealand/Turkey and an economist (BSc) specialising in monetary modelling. With my 20 years of experience as a marketing leader, I provide more than just 'marketing trends' - I build GTM strategies rooted in economic reality to navigate fluctuating markets with precision.
No long onboarding. No outsourcing guesswork. Only traction.
Engagement Models
Flexible, low-lift ways to work together
Bring me into a campaign pitch, strategy sprint, or brand engagement. Scoped clearly.
Billed cleanly.
A monthly block of hours for as-you-need-it support; ideal when your team’s stretched or upskilling.
I join your team (quietly, behind the scenes) for a fixed term. Weekly sessions + async support. Your brain-on-call.
Pricing, tailored to your brief.
Hourly and scoped project pricing available. No minimums, no drama; just clear boundaries and smart delivery.
