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 Delivers Results

If your marketing feels scattered, stalled, or just not working the way it should—you don’t need another plan. You need someone who can lead.

I work with growing businesses that need senior-level marketing guidance—but not a full-time hire. As your fractional Head of Marketing, I help you get focused, lead your team, and drive results.

This isn’t a course, a playbook, or a one-off project. It’s ongoing, hands-on marketing leadership built around your business.
