Marketing without a CMO, for now or for good

If the company has no marketing director, we take on part of that job: markets, directions, buyer profiles and the plan. What stays with you is the decisions.

Sound familiar?

Marketing hangs on you. On top of hiring, sales and operations, you also decide which directions to promote. Those decisions get made between other things and cost as much as strategic ones.

You looked for a CMO and didn’t find one. A marketer who understands both your product and B2B is hard to find. While you search, time goes by.

Contractors ask you for the strategy. They come with “where should we promote?” and wait for your answer, although that answer is what you pay them for.

It is unclear what works. There are traffic reports. There is no answer to which pages bring enquiries.

The most expensive decision in marketing is what exactly to spend the budget on. And it is the one that gets made fastest.

What we take on

Part of a marketing director’s job

We don’t replace a CMO entirely, since brand, product marketing and the sales team stay with you. The part that covers demand, search and content we take on in full.

Markets and directions

Where to go first, where in six months and where not to go at all. We compare markets by revenue growth and CAGR, traffic and competition.

Profiles of the people who decide

A specific person in place of “our audience is B2B companies”. What they know, what worries them and what they need to see goes into every brief.

The plan and the work

A month-by-month plan in hours, a project manager from day one and a report on what was done. You approve the plan or hand that over to us as well.

How we make decisions

Decisions by the WEDGE framework

WEDGE is five steps that answer where to put a limited budget. More than twenty companies have filled in our competence map since 2020.

Where. The competence map, meaning your directions with your scores and ours

Evaluate. Whether there is enough strength to get into each direction; the output is a queue

Decode. Who signs the contract and what stops them

Guide. Content for every stage of the decision

Expand. External mentions and the intersections of directions

The key step for you is W. You score expertise, ease of sale and margin, and the decision then rests on your own numbers. We don’t suggest working on every direction at once. We start with the areas where success can come fastest.

Let’s talk about where you can win

What you get

Less in your head, more on paper

A ranked list of directions and the reasons for that order

The potential × reachability matrix with a conclusion on what to take now, what later and what to leave alone

Profiles of the decision makers in your directions

A month-by-month work plan with an estimate of hours

A report that shows every task, hour and external payment

An answer to which pages bring enquiries, wherever we have access to the data

Half of our clients have worked with us for longer than 17 months, and one in five for four years or more. For the clients with us today the median is 30 months, and counting.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do you replace our CMO completely?

No, and promising that would be dishonest. Brand, product marketing, pricing and the sales team stay with the company. We cover demand, search and content, and in that area we make the decisions ourselves so we don’t bring them to you for approval every week.

How much of my time will this take?

At the start, a few hours of your team’s time for the competence map. After that, once a month, you approve the plan and look at the report, or hand the plan to us if you’d rather not. What really needs your team is implementing fixes quickly, since the pace of results depends on it.

What if we hire a CMO later?

That is a normal scenario. The map, the matrix of directions and the buyer profiles stay with you. When a client changed marketers, we handed the new one a quarterly report and a three-month plan, and at another client SEO later moved to the client’s own team.

What does it cost to start?

There is no up-front fee. You fill in the competence map yourselves (a few hours of your team’s time), and it stays with you either way. The market analysis happens as part of the work.

Let’s start with the competence map

A few hours of your team’s time, and you will see a ranked list of your own directions. It’s free, and the map stays with you even if we don’t end up working together.
