Senior marketing strategy (and the hands to execute it)

I've spent 15 years in marketing, 10 leading teams and reporting to boards — but I've never stopped getting my hands dirty in the tactics. I won't leave you with a pretty slide deck and a wave goodbye. I'll show you the direction, then help you get there.

//Sound familiar?

You need to hit the next level, but you're bumping your head on a ceiling.

Channel plateau

The channels that drove your initial growth are tailing off, and you're not sure where to focus next.

Investment to deploy

You just closed a Seed or Series A. It's time to invest in marketing — but you need senior experience to help spend it wisely.

No senior leader

You've got a junior IC who can execute well, but can't set the direction or initiate strategy. So the tactics don't connect to outcomes.

//The problem

Not all senior marketing help is created equal

The hands-off Fractional CMO

You know the deal. A senior leader who's so, well, "senior" that they've spent the last decade churning out slide decks and couldn't find their way around an ad account or CRM if they had Google Maps. The kind who shoots you a 50-page strategy deck, then leaves you to figure out how to implement it.

The "hands-on" agency

The agency founder was inspirational. They promised they'd be "in" the day-to-day. But once you got started, you were handed off to a junior Account Manager. Sure, they're specialists, and they're good at what they do. But they're not in your business.

I'm Jonny. I've spent 15 years in marketing and 10 years leading teams at early stage startups.

That means I've reported to CEOs, been accountable to boards, and led marketing teams big enough to make an impact but small enough that I've always had my hands in the tactics. I bring the same approach to my work as a Fractional CMO. You get a senior operator inside your business and when a job needs a specialist, I bring in someone I trust from my network. No account managers or hand-offs. You always work with me.

//Why I'm different

Senior strategy, hands-on execution, and a team left stronger.

01

Senior strategy

I've been Head of Marketing at two high-growth B2B SaaS companies, led teams of 2–15, reported to CEOs, been accountable to boards, and owned strategies that tied to business outcomes.

Not another CMO with a couple of years' experience as a marketing manager.

02

Hands-on execution

Wherever I've been, I've kept my hands in the tactics. At early-stage startups, that's just what you do. So I'm as comfortable in LinkedIn Campaign Manager as I am reviewing a quarterly pipeline report.

Not another CMO who hasn't been at the sharp end of a tactic for a decade.

03

Team mentorship

I've always left teams stronger than when I inherited them, because one of the biggest investments you can make in growth is in the team itself.

Not a fractional who keeps you dependent on them.

04

AI-enhanced, not AI-reliant

You get senior-level work, faster. I've turned 15+ years of experience into systems I've built and seen work. AI helps speed up delivery. It never replaces the "been there, done it" judgement behind it.

Not a generic playbook anyone can prompt from ChatGPT.

//CEO recommendations

Don't take my word for it.

Jonny came into the business at a time where we needed to refocus our marketing efforts and increase inbound revenue. His experience brought precision to our positioning and messaging, structure to our go-to-market campaigns, and a clearer understanding of the value marketing drives. He leaves OneUp in a much stronger position than when he started and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Derry Holt
CEO & Founder, OneUp

Jonny brings exactly what you expect from a B2B SaaS marketing leader. He held many roles at Leadfeeder as we scaled to become an 8-figure business, including leading the marketing team, which was a core driver of company growth.

Pekka Koskinen
CEO & Founder, Leadfeeder

We started working with Jonny on a fixed project to improve conversion across our PLG funnel. He came in with a clear point of view, helped us prioritise the right channels, and got hands-on alongside us. We didn't want to stop there, so we moved straight to a retainer and we've continued scaling ARR 50% year-on-year since. He's walked this exact journey before and it shows.
