Marketing Leadership That Brings Clarity, Focus, and Results

When marketing feels overwhelming, unfocused, or like it’s just not working, you don’t need more noise—you need clarity, leadership, and a plan you can actually follow.

Third Act Marketing offers flexible, part-time marketing leadership to help you prioritize what matters, take action, and get real results—without hiring full-time.

About Third Act Marketing

Who I Work With

I work with founders and business leaders who feel stuck—and know their marketing isn’t working as well as it should. You don’t need more noise. You need someone to help you focus, make smart decisions, and build real momentum. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place:

Fractional Marketing Leadership That Moves Your Business Forward

If your marketing feels off—or like it’s never quite working the way it should—you don’t need a generic plan. You need the right support, built around your business, your team, and your goals. That’s exactly what I offer… flexible, focused ways to help you gain clarity, build momentum, and get results.

I work with growing businesses that need real marketing leadership—but don’t need (or want) a full-time hire.

As your fractional Head of Marketing, I help you create clarity, lead your team, and get results. From strategy to execution, I’m here to make sure your marketing actually works—and works efficiently.

This isn’t a course. It’s not a playbook. It’s not a one-off project.
It’s hands-on, ongoing marketing leadership tailored to your business.

What I do:

• Align marketing with your business goals

• Build and lead teams (internal or external)

• Create systems for consistent execution

• Continuously optimize to improve ROI

• Provide clear, confident marketing direction

Need a solid foundation first?

For the right clients, I offer a one-time Brand & Marketing Strategy project.

It’s a focused engagement that gives you the clarity and plan you need to move forward—whether you work with me or on your own. If you're not quite ready for ongoing support, this might be a good first step.

What to Expect When Kicking Off a Project

Step 1: Discover & Diagnose
We’ll define your goals, uncover what’s holding you back, and identify growth opportunities.

Step 2: Develop & Define
I’ll create a tailored strategy—whether that’s a brand foundation, a marketing plan, or ongoing support.

Step 3: Execute & Optimize
With a clear roadmap in place, we’ll bring the strategy to life and adapt as needed.

Step 4: Evaluate & Adjust
We’ll regularly assess what’s working, make smart adjustments, and keep driving progress.

A Few of the Companies I’ve Worked With

What My Clients Say

"At first, I wasn’t sure if a marketing consultant would be a good investment or if we'd find someone who truly understood our needs. But working with Dan has been transformative. He's led key projects that have increased our intakes and greatly improved how we measure marketing performance. Everything feels more streamlined, organized, and clearly defined. Dan always makes us feel like his top priority, and I've recommended Third Act Marketing to several people—and will continue to do so."

Julianne Neely
Founder of Individual and Family Connection

“I’ve worked with Dan for many years across several companies and have come to rely on his expertise. He not only develops solid marketing plans but also thinks outside the box, offering truly strategic solutions to complex problems. And beyond recommending a plan, he has the ability to execute it effectively. It’s rare to find a resource as reliable and innovative as Dan—his insights are invaluable whenever I’m dealing with marketing challenges.”

Anthony Snowell
4x Startup Founder

“In just a few months of working with Dan, we’ve transformed how we approach marketing. We now have clear, measurable goals and tactics that we can test for effectiveness. As a direct result, we've sold out shows and thrown hugely profitable fundraising events. It's a pleasure to work with a marketing consultant who truly knows their stuff—we're operating at a higher level, and our successes no longer feel like luck.”
