Fractional Digital Marketing Manager

A Fractional Digital Marketing Manager could be just what you need!

So, you’ve got a growing business with multiple departments, proper budgets, and real digital marketing needs. You’re way past the point where basic SEO packages or cookie-cutter agency solutions will cut it.

But hiring a senior digital marketing manager at £80-100k a year? That’s a massive commitment when you’re not even sure if they’ll understand your industry or stick around for more than 18 months.

Meanwhile, your SEO team isn’t talking to your PPC team, your development changes keep breaking things, and everyone’s working in silos instead of towards the same goals. Sound familiar?

As someone who’s worked with mid-sized businesses for decades, I know exactly how frustrating this gap is. That’s why I offer fractional digital marketing management – giving you senior-level expertise and cross-departmental coordination for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

Standard agency packages treat you like every other client, but your business has unique challenges that need strategic thinking.

Junior account managers follow templates instead of adapting to your specific situation.

Disconnected Teams

What do I know about mid-sized business challenges?

Over 30 years, I’ve worked with businesses at every stage of growth. I understand the unique pressures of companies with 10-50 employees – too complex for one-size-fits-all solutions, but not ready for enterprise-level overhead. I know how departmental priorities clash and why coordination becomes critical at this scale.

What do I know about integrated digital marketing?

I’ve been promoting websites since before Google existed, adapting strategies through countless algorithm changes and platform evolutions. From SEO and PPC to content strategy and conversion optimisation, I understand how these channels work together – and how they can work against each other when poorly coordinated.

What do I know about your industry?

Three decades of experience spans industries from engineering and healthcare to SaaS and professional services. I’ve guided accountants, architects, web agencies, and manufacturing companies through digital transformation. My approach focuses on understanding business fundamentals rather than applying generic templates – because every industry has its own rhythm and customer journey.
