What you get.

Two halves of the same job.

Direction

Someone senior owning the outcome.

The part most businesses are missing. Not more activity. Someone accountable for what the activity returns.

  • Quarterly digital roadmap tied to revenue targets, not channel vanity
  • Budget allocation and channel mix decisions, with the reasoning written down
  • One monthly performance report leadership and the board can actually read
  • Agency and vendor management: briefs set, promises tracked, invoices justified
  • Mentorship for your in-house marketer, so they grow instead of guessing

Execution

And hands on the accounts.

If you don't have a team to execute, I'm not going to hand you a plan and wish you luck.

  • Google, Meta, LinkedIn Ad campaigns and more built, launched and optimised weekly
  • GA4 and conversion tracking rebuilt so the numbers can be trusted
  • Data Studio reporting your team can open without a translator
  • Landing page and funnel fixes where the leak actually is
  • Automation between ads, forms and your CRM

Retainers.

Three tiers, one outcome.

Pick the model that fits your stage. Move between tiers at the end of any quarter. Most clients start at Growth and adjust once the roadmap is clear.

One-off option.

The diagnostic sprint.

Not ready for a retainer? Two weeks, one deliverable: a forensic read of your digital operation and a twelve-month roadmap you own outright, whether or not we work together afterwards.

From$3,500one-off

Channel and spend audit

Every dollar traced to what it returned, across every channel you run.

Tracking and data review

Whether the numbers your team reports are real, and what to fix first.

Competitor position

Where you sit in market, and the gaps worth attacking this year.

Twelve-month roadmap

Sequenced, costed, and written for a board to sign off.

The maths.

The same seniority, a third of the cost.

Full-time digital director$180K to $280K + super

Plus recruitment fees, leave, tools, and a three-month ramp before the first decision lands.

Fractional, on retainer$30K to $72K / year

No super, no leave, no recruitment fee. Quarter to quarter. Working in week one.

The honest version: once your operation needs daily executive presence, hire full-time. Until then, you're paying a salary for availability you don't use.

Fit.

Who this is for, and who it isn't.

A good fit

  • $5M to $20M revenue with no marketing leadership in place
  • Spending $5K+ a month on ads without senior oversight
  • A capable marketer who needs someone above them
  • Bridging to a full-time hire, or preparing for a raise

Not a fit

  • Under $5K a month in ad spend. You need a freelancer, not a director
  • Looking for the cheapest option rather than the right one
  • Needing daily executive presence. That's a full-time hire
  • Wanting a CRM implementation, not marketing leadership

Frequently asked.

Common questions, direct answers.

Senior digital leadership on a retainer: the strategy, ownership of the performance numbers reported to your board or leadership team, and accountability held over the agencies and vendors already on your payroll. Engagements typically run one to six days a month over six to twelve months.

An equivalent full-time digital director in Australia is $180,000 to $280,000 plus superannuation, before recruitment fees, leave and tooling. Retainers here run $2,500 to $6,000 per month depending on scope, with no on-costs and no notice period beyond the quarter.

When the operation needs daily executive presence. Fractional makes sense while annual marketing spend justifies senior oversight, usually $250,000+ across media and headcount, but the role doesn't yet need five days a week. Common triggers for starting fractional: scaling past $5M revenue, replacing an underperforming agency, preparing for a capital raise, or bridging to a full-time CMO hire.

Both, in that order. Direction is what you're buying: strategy, performance ownership, holding vendors accountable. But if you don't have a team to execute, I'm not going to hand you a plan and wish you luck. I build campaigns, fix tracking and attribution, and run launches myself. Day to day that means Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, LinkedIn Ads, GA4, Data Studio and Automation. I work alongside whatever CRM you run, whether that's HubSpot, Salesforce or Dynamics. I'm not a CRM implementer. My focus is the marketing layer.

Usually they stay and get better. Most agency relationships underperform because nobody senior on the client side is setting the brief or reading the numbers properly. I fix that first. If the relationship still isn't working after a quarter of proper management, I'll say so plainly and help you run a replacement process.

Onboarding takes a week: account access, a look at the last 90 days, and a conversation with whoever owns the revenue number. Real work begins in week one. There's no three-month ramp because there's no organisation to learn my way around.

Yes. Every engagement is delivered remotely across Australia and New Zealand. New Zealand clients are a regular part of the book, since I spent years working in that market.
