A fractional CMO is the right hire for a specific kind of business at a specific moment in its growth. Not every business. Not every moment. The companies that get the most from this model tend to share a few characteristics: they have marketing budget but no marketing leadership, they are making strategic decisions without…
Account based engagement is the operational layer that sits beneath account based marketing. Where ABM defines which accounts to target, account based engagement defines how you actually reach, warm, and move those accounts through a buying process that rarely follows a straight line. Most programs stall not because the account selection was wrong, but because…
B2B demand generation is the process of creating awareness and interest in a product or service among buyers who are not yet in market, so that when they are ready to evaluate options, your brand is already part of the conversation. Done well, it shortens sales cycles, improves lead quality, and reduces the cost of…
Growth strategy firms are specialist consultancies that help businesses identify where revenue growth will come from, build the commercial logic to pursue it, and design the go-to-market approach to make it happen. They sit somewhere between management consultants and marketing agencies, combining market analysis, competitive positioning, and commercial planning into a coherent growth thesis. The…

The wide range is not a failure of measurement. It reflects genuine variation across…
Performance benchmarking is the practice of measuring your marketing results against a reference point, whether that is a competitor, an industry standard, or your own historical data, to determine whether you are performing well or poorly. Done properly, it gives you a commercial anchor. Done badly, it gives you false confidence and a reason to…
The best GDPR-compliant B2B marketing platforms in 2025 are not necessarily the ones with the longest compliance checklists. They are the ones that make it commercially viable to run effective campaigns without cutting corners on consent, data residency, or processing transparency.
