Fractional CMO & marketing advisor

You hired people to run marketing. You're still making every call.

Get a clear answer on where your budget should go, what your team should work on, and what's actually bringing in customers. I make those calls with you every week. Your team keeps doing the work.

Previously: five years building the marketing function at Sketchy, through a $30M+ acquisition.

Sound familiar?

Everyone has ideas. You're left deciding which ones get the budget.

01

The work keeps growing. The results don't.

Campaigns go out and content gets published, but you still can't point to what brought in a customer.

02

Every channel wants more money.

Your agency, your ads person and your content lead all make a good case. Nobody is looking at the whole picture.

03

Everything waits on you.

Your team brings recommendations. You make the call, and you're never fully sure it was the right one.

How it works

From guessing to a plan your team can follow.

I don't run your ads or write your content. I help you decide what's worth doing, then check that it's getting done well.

1

Find out what's working

In 7 days I review your positioning, customer journey, channels, spend and team. You get a written assessment and a plan of what to fix first.

2

Decide what to fund and what to stop

We agree on where the money goes, what the team focuses on, and what to stop doing.

3

Make the calls together, every week

We meet every week. I review your team's work, help you make the decisions, and change the plan when the numbers say to.

Tired of making every call alone?

Advising. We meet every week to make the decisions together while your team does the work. It starts after the assessment. Founding offer: the first three clients get 25% off their first two months.

Who you work with

You work directly with me.

I'm Joshua Malik. I've built marketing teams, planned launches, run email programs and directed creative, and I learned most of it the hard way. So I won't hand you a plan your budget can't afford or your team can't carry out.

Freqxency is just me. No account managers, no junior staff. The person on your first call is the person in every meeting after.

Questions

Good to know before we talk.

What is a fractional CMO?

Senior marketing leadership, part time. I set direction and help you make the big calls. Your team, freelancers or agency do the work.

Do you do the marketing yourself?

No. I don't run ads, write content or manage accounts. I help decide what's worth doing and review it as it's done. That keeps the advice honest.

Who is this for?

Founders with customers, an offer that works and people doing the marketing, who need experienced judgment more than another pair of hands.

How fast can we start?

The assessment usually starts within a week of booking and takes 7 days.

Is there a long contract?

No. The assessment is a one-time fee and advising is month to month.
