Marketing doesn’t need to be complicated. You don’t need long discovery cycles or another 40-page deck. What you do need is clarity—a clear understanding of what’s working, what isn’t, and what to prioritize as you head into 2026.
Grounded Growth Studio helps founders and growth leaders cut through the noise and build a focused plan they can trust. Whether you need support getting your strategy sorted or want help fixing specific gaps, my approach strengthens what you already have and accelerates what comes next.
Every business is different, and your plan should reflect that. If you need a tailored approach, I’m happy to shape a custom path that aligns with your goals.
Ready to start the year on the right foot?
Let’s build the plan that gets you there.
START 2026 STRONG WITH A SIMPLE, FOCUSED MARKETING PLAN
SUPPORT YOUR 2026 PLAN WITH OUR FRACTIONAL CMO RETAINER
My most popular offering, the fractional retainer, provides ongoing CMO-level support to keep momentum high and marketing efforts aligned with your growth goals. This flexible structure gives you consistent access to senior marketing leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Because meaningful, measurable growth requires resourcing, I partner only with companies that maintain an active marketing budget. This ensures we can move quickly, execute effectively, and turn strategy into results—not just ideas on paper.
You’ll receive regular updates, burn reports, and shared documents through your HoneyBook client portal, and I’ll stay closely connected to align on monthly priorities and ensure steady progress toward our quarterly targets.
project based packages
These project-based packages are built to solve the most common marketing challenges growth-stage companies face—fast. From building a strong foundation to fixing your funnel, creating consistent content, or dialing in performance, each package is designed to meet you where you are and move you forward. Choose the support you need, when you need it.
Not sure which type of engagement is right for you? Let’s talk it through. I’d love to learn more about your business, your goals, and where you’re headed—so we can figure out the right path forward together.
Things you might be wondering about:
-
My services are typically the best fit for growth leaders (i.e. CEOs and CROs) of midsize tech startups that have completed series B funding or beyond. This might be you if:
You have a strong background in your industry and have assembled a smart, humble and talented group of leaders to grow your company
You value marketing and have already brought on a few mid-level marketing employees
You’ve established a small yet nimble sales team
You want to take your business to the next level, and to do so, need to up the ante on your brand story and demand generation efforts
Your board is looking for a specific revenue contribution from marketing as a part of your short term growth plan
You’ve validated demand for our product in the market, and done a lot of research on the customer that you’re targeting
If this isn’t your exact profile but you’re still interested in working with us, don’t hesitate to reach out!

I believe strongly in the power of organic marketing, and I can absolutely help optimize both your organic channels and your overall strategy. But at the end of the day, even the best organic plan needs support to scale. For that reason, I only partner with companies that maintain at least a modest marketing budget. It ensures we can execute, experiment, and turn strategy into real traction—not just ideas that never make it into market.
-
Most projects typically take around 4–6 weeks, depending on your specific goals and the complexity of the work. For example, performance dashboard setup can take 2–4 weeks, depending on the tools you already have in place. If you’re looking for more consistent support, I also offer ongoing fractional CMO services—so I can stay in your corner for as long as you need me.
-
For folks looking for ongoing support, I offer the The Optimization Hub. In this engagement, I will set up your performance dashboard in PowerPoint or Google sheets, review your performance metrics and work together to optimize in a monthly hour-long call. I’m also available for ad hoc questions during the duration of your engagement.
Once another type of project is completed, a project is closed. However, Grounded Growth Studio clients receive 10% off their second package if booked within 6 months of project completion.

Yes! While a lot of my work is in B2B tech, I have a strong foundation in B2C marketing as well—especially for companies selling high-consideration products or services. My past experience includes marketing hospitality tech to consumers and leading brand and acquisition strategy for consumer identity protection and credit education products. I understand how to simplify complex messaging, build trust, and create journeys that convert. Whether you’re launching a new consumer product or optimizing an existing funnel, I can help you move fast and grow smart.

Once you submit an interest form on the website, I’ll schedule a 30 min Discovery call with you if we’re a good fit for each other. If you choose to move forward, you can easily select your desired services, then generate and sign a contract in real time using a quick digital form. At that point, I’ll ask you to complete a quick questionnaire and we’ll put an initial 1 hour long Deep Dive meeting on the books to discuss your answers. Kick off is fast and straightforward!

At Grounded Growth Studio, I strive to create a friendly, mutually respectful, and transparent relationship with my clients. My goal is to ensure that you feel heard and that the deliverables you receive are extremely valuable to you. I also want to give you what you need as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality, and use a structured, 5-step process for each engagement to help promote efficiency.
From the inception of our engagement to its completion, I am committed to being very clear about what you’re getting from Grounded Growth Studio and what will happen next. I believe that open and ongoing communication is key to successful collaboration. That’s why I make it a priority to keep you informed every step of the way, inviting your feedback and ensuring that we’re aligned on expectations.
While I will always go out of my way to ensure your happiness with a deliverable, I stay true to the details outlined in our engagement—this is why I am so transparent about them from the beginning. My approach is designed to foster trust and a strong partnership, making sure that our collaboration is not only effective but also enjoyable.
