Nope - but it is recommended. The Marketing Intensive builds best on a strong foundation, so if your messaging or positioning still feels fuzzy, I’d start with Brand Reset first. Think of Brand Reset as the groundwork that makes your marketing unstoppable once we take it to market.

Totally okay - I love that for you. We’ll bake in time to review your existing brand strategy, messaging, and assets so we can build on top of what’s working instead of burning it down. My goal is to evolve your brand, not erase it.

Either works beautifully. I’ve spent 15+ years leading marketing for both scrappy startups and global brands - so whether you’ve got a team, a VA, or just you and your laptop, I can meet you where you’re at. If you don’t have support yet, I can recommend trusted creative and marketing partners from my network to help you execute once your roadmap is ready.

That totally depends on your audience, offer, and energy. Every brand has a unique ecosystem - aka what matters most is finding the channels that align with your business goals and feel sustainable for you to maintain. We’ll identify what actually moves the needle, not just what’s trending.

If you’re still clarifying what you do, who you serve, or how to talk about it - start with Brand Reset. That’s where we dial in your positioning, offers, and messaging. Once that foundation’s set, we’ll be able to build your 90-day marketing plan with total confidence and momentum.

Absolutely. Many founders continue into an ongoing advisory partnership after their intensive. I offer flexible monthly or quarterly strategy check-ins to help you review campaigns, optimize performance, and stay accountable as you grow.

In 90 days, you’ll have a go-to-market strategy that doesn’t just look good on paper — it moves.

You’ll walk away with a marketing engine that’s crystal clear, team-ready, and built to scale. Clients typically see faster decision-making, higher-quality leads, and more consistent conversions within weeks of implementation.

But the biggest shift? You stop being the bottleneck. Your team moves with confidence, your brand gains traction, and your marketing finally runs like the well-oiled machine it was meant to be.

Agencies are great at selling big ideas - but they’re slow, bloated, and rarely as invested in your business as you are. You get a team of 10, but talk to one. You wait weeks for deliverables, and by then, the market’s already shifted.

Fractional CMOs? Smart, but often too far removed from the day-to-day. They’ll give you the strategy deck, not the roadmap your team can actually use.

This intensive is the middle ground — the clarity and precision of a CMO, with the agility and partnership of someone who’s in the trenches with you. You get focused strategy, real-time collaboration, and zero corporate lag. Just results that move as fast as your vision.
