Fractional CMO Vancouver

Your strategy is only as good as

who's executing it.

Strategy only works when someone owns it. Not the deck. Not the annual plan. The actual execution — the decisions, the team alignment, the trade-offs that come up every week. That's what's usually missing.

Peter Falk, Fractional CMO

Accelerate your business with seasoned leadership — only when you need it. As a VP of Marketing with over two decades scaling consumer brands, I've operated across both sides of the commercial equation: marketing to end consumers and marketing to the retailers and distributors who carry the product. That B2B2C experience — trade strategy, channel management, distributor relationships, and retail sell-in alongside brand and consumer marketing — is rare. You get a senior operator who understands how the whole system works, now supercharged by AI, without the cost of a full-time hire.

Marketing leadership that's made for your business.
Most SMBs reach a point where marketing feels scattered — campaigns running, agencies billing, social posting — but nothing connecting to real growth. The problem almost never is execution. It's the absence of a senior voice who owns the full picture and keeps it aligned to where the business is actually trying to go.
That's what a fractional CMO should be. Not a strategist who's spent their career on the agency side — but someone who's owned a P&L, managed both consumer and trade marketing, navigated distributor relationships, and led a business through real transformation. Someone who understands that marketing either serves the business or it doesn't — at every level of the value chain. That's the background I bring to every engagement.
There's no template for this. Every engagement starts from your strategy, your market, and where your business actually needs to go — not a methodology we apply the same way twice. For startups, growth-stage, and mid-market businesses across North America, this is enterprise-level marketing leadership without the $250K+ price tag.

The engagement
Fractional CMO Services
20 years operating at VP level across consumer brands, B2B channels, and e-commerce — marketing to consumers, retailers, and distributors simultaneously. Every client is different, but these are the capabilities I bring to every engagement.
01
Marketing & Business Strategy
Your marketing should be an extension of where your business is going — not a separate plan running in parallel. I work with your leadership team to connect commercial goals to market execution, so every decision compounds instead of competing.

02
Brand Building & Repositioning
If customers can't articulate why they choose you, your brand isn't doing its job. I help you define a position that's genuinely ownable, build the identity around it, and make sure it holds across every touchpoint — including when the business is changing.

03
Go-to-Market & Product Launch
A good product launch doesn't start on launch day. I build the go-to-market plan from the ground up — aligned across sales, marketing, and operations — so you're not scrambling to catch up once you're in market.
45 product launches, $21M+ in new revenue
04
E-Commerce & Omnichannel
If your online and offline channels are pulling in different directions, you're leaving revenue on the table. I build the channel strategy, integrate the touchpoints, and own the e-commerce P&L — so the whole system works together instead of against itself.
52% revenue growth through omnichannel strategy
05
Team & Agency Leadership
Agencies perform better when someone senior is setting the brief and holding them accountable. Internal teams perform better when they have clear direction and real leadership. I step into that role — so you stop paying for work that doesn't connect to anything.

06
Growth & Acquisition Strategy
Growth through acquisition creates a specific problem: how do you keep the strategy coherent while the business keeps changing shape? I've navigated that five times. I help you integrate new brands, align go-to-market across a growing portfolio, and make sure the core business doesn't lose momentum in the process.

Common questions

Common questions about fractional CMO services

"What does a fractional CMO actually do?"

Same strategic marketing leadership as a full-time CMO — brand direction, go-to-market, team leadership, revenue accountability — without the full-time cost. At Additiv that means I'm inside your leadership team. I own the function, I make decisions, I'm accountable for outcomes.

"How much does a fractional CMO cost?"

Engagements typically run $3,000–$12,000 per month depending on scope. Compare that to $200,000–$300,000+ fully loaded for a senior full-time CMO hire. You get the same level of thinking without the overhead.

"Is Additiv only for Vancouver-based companies?"

No. Most engagements are remote. I'm based in Vancouver, so if you're local and want on-site time that's available — but most clients are across North America and we work just fine without it.

"How is a fractional CMO different from a marketing agency?"

An agency runs campaigns. I own the function — the strategy, the direction, and more execution than you'd expect from one person. AI has changed what that looks like. The real difference is accountability. An agency answers to a brief. I answer to the business.
