Not only is Luke an extremely talented Marketing Director, he is without doubt one of the best bosses that I have worked for over my 25+ years in business. He always takes the time to explain exactly what is required from his team but isn't frightened to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in - whenever and wherever necessary."

FAQs
What is a fractional Head of Marketing?

A fractional Head of Marketing is a senior marketing leader who delivers strategic direction and hands-on guidance on a part-time basis, giving businesses expert leadership, planning, and execution without the cost of a full-time hire.

How much does a fractional Head of Marketing cost?

I typically charge around £500/day on a fractional basis, though I’m flexible depending on scope and engagement. Get in touch to let me know what you're looking for.

Do you work remotely or on-site?

I live in Essex, so I've been commuting into London for many years. I generally operate on a hybrid model, with some office time for face-to-face meetings and collaboration, and the rest from my home office. I'm also used to working with US clients on a remote basis.

What are the benefits of hiring a fractional Head of Marketing vs a full-time hire?

Many tech startups need fractional marketing assistance in the early days (e.g. pre-seed/seed) with a view to hiring a full-time role in the longer term. Full-time hires take time and money, so fractional roles can help to rapidly fill gaps without 3-month notice periods and other complications.

Do you have your own contacts?

I have a great network of trusted consultants, agencies and freelancers for anything from content to SEO to video animation. But I'm also used to working with established resources and within budget restraints.

Are you using AI?

I certainly am. However, I believe in a more measured, pragmatic approach where select tools and processes can help. I don't believe AI is a panacea to solve all and everything, and I still believe the human touch will be more successful in marketing (and sales!).
