Digital marketing should have a long-lasting impact on your bottom line

Do you feel like all your marketing efforts are giving you nothing back? You write articles, post on social media, host webinars and then … crickets. 

Ask yourself these 5 questions:

  1. Do you have a marketing plan?

  2. Is your marketing plan aligned with your business goals (if I do X, I’ll make $Y)?

  3. Does every marketing piece you create directly connect to the overall plan?

  4. Do your staff know how to create marketing content that will directly impact on your bottom line? 

  5. If your staff leave will they take the marketing knowledge for your business with them?

Stop the 'spray and pray' and clever up your marketing

Say goodbye to the ‘spray n pray’ approach to marketing and implement a strategic marketing plan that is achievable and streamlined for your individual circumstances. Better yet, you’ll have an action-packed plan that can be effective even when implemented by you, or by junior and less experienced members of your team — giving you better returns on your marketing investment and on the investment in your people.  

A virtual Chief Marketing Officer can help you if:

  • You can’t afford the senior salary/aren’t yet big enough to have a Chief Marketing Officer on staff.
  • You have a small team or junior staff on board and want to ensure the marketing work they are doing is actually driving the business forward and meeting business goals.
  • You want to mitigate key person risk by ensuring your marketing strategy, systems, processes and actionable tasks are maintained by a trusted advisor and can be redeployed to new staff at any time.
  • You need help knowing what data to measure, how to measure it and what it means for your business.
  • You need monthly strategic support to ensure your marketing is having impact, is more impactful over time and stays on point.
  • You’re a solo operator or small team in need of some implementation support while you scale up.

A virtual Chief Marketing Officer is not for you if:

  • Your business isn’t ready to switch to a digital-first mindset.
  • You have an experienced Chief Marketing Officer on staff who can sort this all out for you.
  • You’re only looking for help with paid ads on social and Google. We don’t operate paid campaigns, as we prefer to focus our knowledge on solid, long-term, organic growth. Ads can indeed help your business (we partner with ad experts, who we can refer you to); but the work we do is to build a solid foundation for a search-based digital strategy that will maximise the benefit of any paid campaigns and ensure that your overall digital plan is very strategic and targeted in a way that will grow over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

While all of our plans are designed to be easy for you to implement yourself or by your team, we know that time is short and you just want it all to exist already! We offer implementation services as part of our vCMO monthly retainers.

This is a common request and the answer is, no problem! We understand that the businesses we work with have different skills on their teams, and so help is needed in different areas. You can use your monthly retainer for whatever services make the maximum impact to keep your business moving forward.
