Fractional CMO Bradenton FL — Senior Marketing Strategy Without the Full-Time Cost
30 Years of Advertising Experience. Working for Your Business, Not Someone Else's Corporate Calendar.
Here's what most service businesses are dealing with right now:
You're spending money on ads that stop working the moment you stop paying. Your website exists, but Google isn't sending you much traffic. You know you should be doing more with content - blogging, video, email - but nobody has the time, and you're not sure where to start.
Meanwhile, your competitors who figured this out are getting found first. every month that passes, the gap gets a little wider.
The problem usually isn't effort. There's no system. No strategy. No one person making sure all the pieces are working together.
That's where a Fractional CMO Bradenton FL comes in.
What Exactly Is a Fractional CMO?
A fractional CMO is a senior marketing strategist who works for your business part-time at roughly 25% of the cost of a full-time hire.
You get the thinking, the planning, and the execution. Without the overhead.
I work with a small number of local service businesses at a time - intentionally. That means you get real attention, real strategy, and real results. Not a cookie-cutter package built for someone else's business.
Here's What I Actually Handle For You
SEO & Google Visibility
Your Google Business Profile, title tags, meta descriptions, and headline structure - the foundation that determines whether Google shows you to people who are actively searching for what you do.
Content Strategy & Blogging
Blog posts built around the questions your customers are already Googling. Content that keeps working long after you publish it - bringing in traffic, building trust, and converting readers into calls.
Video & Audio Production
Scripts, recording guidance, editing. Talking-head videos, testimonials, explainer content. The kind of video that builds familiarity and trust before anyone picks up the phone.
Copywriting
Website copy, email campaigns, landing pages, ad copy. Words that actually convert — not just fill space.
Email Marketing
List building, campaign writing, and automated follow-up sequences that keep you in front of prospects who found you but weren't ready to buy yet.
Website & Funnel Work
Page rebuilds, on-page SEO, lead magnet funnels, and HighLevel automation — so your website is working for you around the clock.
Monthly Execution
Consistent blogging, email, and content calendar management. Because a strategy that doesn't get executed is just a document.
Why Work With Me?
I spent 30 years in radio advertising - writing, voicing, and producing thousands of commercials for direct clients, ad agencies, and broadcast groups across the country. Along the way I got obsessed with one question: why does some marketing work and most of it doesn't?
The answer is almost never the production quality. It's the message, the strategy, and whether anyone can find you in the first place.
That obsession turned into 12 years running AdWise Creative, where I've helped service businesses building marketing that actually works - not just looks good.
My clients have included Atlassian, Barracuda, CloudTrucks and campaigns promoted live by Howard Stern and Adam Carolla. I've done voice over narration for Biltmore House & Gardens, the Pearl Harbor submarine museum, and the original Louisiana State Capitol building.
I'm based in Bradenton FL - available in person for Sarasota, Bradenton, and Tampa clients, and fully remote for everyone else.
How It Works
When you work with a Fractional CMO Bradenton FL, we start with a free 30-minute strategy call.
I look at what you have, ask a few questions, and give you my honest read on where your biggest gaps are. No pitch. No pressure. Just a real conversation about what would actually move the needle for your business.
If it makes sense to work together, we'll talk about what that looks like. Engagements are month-to-month. No long-term contracts. No retainer you're afraid to cancel.
I work with four local businesses at a time. That's intentional - you deserve someone who actually knows your business.
Who Said What
(The subject line of an email he sent me.) "I need your genius."
"I did about 60% of what Nic taught me for my Google Business Profile. In about 45 days I was receiving calls and booking new clients. I started ranking #2 in the state. Now I'm #1 in North Carolina!!"
