Marketing Consultancy · Fractional CMO
Most leadership teams invest heavily in marketing without a clear picture of what is actually moving the needle. We embed as your fractional marketing leadership, backed by an in house build team that designs, executes, and governs every channel until your engine runs itself.
Who we work with
Owners running considered, premium businesses who need a senior marketing operator at the table, not another agency to manage.
Houses and retailers selling on brand, story and craft. Work that respects the brand and still moves the commercial number.
Industrial groups, professional services and alternative-asset firms that need senior strategy alongside in-house teams and external partners.
Services
A senior marketing operator with an in-house build team. We diagnose the business, build the infrastructure, govern the spend, and run diligence on either side of a transaction, under the same roof.
An in-depth consultancy phase where we look under the hood of your business. We audit your current marketing spend, tracking systems, and software setup. You leave with a clear 6-month roadmap that eliminates wasted budget, fixes data blindspots, and sets a defined route for growth or exit.
Turning your strategy into a functional commercial engine. Whether you are launching a new product or scaling an existing one, we build the modern infrastructure required to support it, including fast custom dashboards, automated CRM workflows, high-converting websites and conversion landing pages.
Making sure your ongoing marketing spend actually delivers net profit. We act as your fractional director, overseeing your internal teams or existing external agencies, reading the data objectively, and keeping every party accountable to commercial outcomes rather than surface metrics.
Deep-dive technical and marketing diagnostics for buyers preparing to acquire a brand, and for owners preparing their own business for sale. We audit digital infrastructure, ad-account health, data accuracy and true customer-acquisition cost, so the investment decision is taken on the real numbers, not the deck.
Problems we solve
Most of what we're called in to fix falls into one of these. Each one has cost the business real money before we arrived, and each has a defined route out.
Platform dashboards say one thing, the bank says another. Attribution is held together by best guesses and the last agency's spreadsheet.
We rebuild tracking from server-side up, reconcile platform numbers to revenue, and report performance in margin, not ROAS theatre.
Impressions, reach, engagement, click-through. The deck looks healthy. Pipeline and cash do not.
We audit the account, govern the agency to revenue targets, and replace the seat where it's the right call. You stop paying for activity dressed as outcome.
A £180k CMO is overkill at your stage; a junior marketing manager can't govern agencies or sit in front of the board.
Fractional CMO seat, senior strategy, agency governance and board-grade reporting on a monthly retainer, with an in-house build team behind it.
By the time the page ships, the campaign is over. Quote and enquiry flows are stitched together and leak.
An in-house build team ships premium sites, landing pages, quote/enquiry/booking systems in days, not quarters. You own the code and the assets.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Copilot now sit between the buyer and your website. The old SEO playbook doesn't surface you in their answers.
We restructure your site, content and entities so AI search engines cite you, not the competitor who already invested.
Lifecycle is ad-hoc, email is broken, the sales team is working from memory. Reporting up to the board is a monthly fiction.
We design the lifecycle, build the journeys in HubSpot, Salesforce or Klaviyo, and rebuild reporting so the board sees pipeline, not narrative.
Revenue is flat or sliding. The team is busy. The channel mix, the offer, the funnel, the brand, no one is holding the whole picture.
Marketing & Data Audit: fixed-fee diagnostic across ad accounts, tracking, agency performance and channel mix. You get the picture and the plan to unstall it.

Capabilities
Positioning, channel mix, budget allocation and the operating cadence. We sit between you and the work, brief the team, govern the agencies, and report into the board in revenue, not impressions.
Google, Meta, LinkedIn, programmatic, paid social. Spend is rebuilt around margin, not ROAS theatre. Where the existing agency is the right call we govern them; where they're not, we replace the seat.
Premium, fast, search-ready sites and conversion-built landing pages shipped by an in-house build team. No three-month agency cycle, no overseas hand-off. Designed for HNW audiences and considered-purchase buyers.
HubSpot, Salesforce, Klaviyo or a clean custom stack. We design the lifecycle, build the journeys, write the email and rebuild reporting so the sales team sees the pipeline, not a guess.
Tracking wired end to end so a paying customer can be traced from first click to invoice. GA4, server-side tagging, dashboards, and the discipline to act on what the numbers say.
New brand, new market, new product line. ICP, proposition, pricing, channel sequencing and the 90-day rollout. Run with your team or shipped by ours.
Marketing and technical due diligence for buyers and sellers. We verify ad-account health, data accuracy and true customer-acquisition cost, so an investment decision rests on the real numbers, not the deck. For owners preparing a sale, we close the same gaps before a buyer ever finds them.
Engagements run on a monthly fractional CMO retainer covering strategy, governance and reporting. Build work, sites, landing pages, CRM, lifecycle, is scoped against a fixed fee or a sprint allocation, depending on the cadence. No agency hours billed against an ambiguous SOW.

Founder
We built Refrakt Digital after years of owning and operating digital marketing agencies. That seat exposed the gap most mid-market businesses fall into, creative agencies disconnected from data, and internal tech teams too slow to ship. We sit on your side of the table and close it.
Strategic Growth Direction on a fractional basis, commercial governance, infrastructure modernisation, and a six-month roadmap your teams can actually execute.
