Marketing Consultancy · Fractional CMO

    Not just a marketing agency.
    Not just a consultancy.
    We are Refrakt Digital.

    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.

    How it works

    Who we work with

    Built for ambitious businesses that take their marketing seriously.

    HNW founders

    Owners running considered, premium businesses who need a senior marketing operator at the table, not another agency to manage.

    Luxury & retail

    Houses and retailers selling on brand, story and craft. Work that respects the brand and still moves the commercial number.

    Enterprise teams

    Industrial groups, professional services and alternative-asset firms that need senior strategy alongside in-house teams and external partners.

    Services

    Four pillars. One accountable seat.

    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.

    Discovery

    Growth & Infrastructure Audit

    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.

    Vendor & Performance Governance

    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.

    Acquisition & Exit Diligence

    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

    The seven problems founders bring to us.

    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.

    01.

    You're spending five figures a month and can't prove what's working.

    Platform dashboards say one thing, the bank says another. Attribution is held together by best guesses and the last agency's spreadsheet.

    How we fix it

    We rebuild tracking from server-side up, reconcile platform numbers to revenue, and report performance in margin, not ROAS theatre.

    02.

    The agency keeps reporting wins. Revenue hasn't moved.

    Impressions, reach, engagement, click-through. The deck looks healthy. Pipeline and cash do not.

    How we fix it

    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.

    03.

    You need a senior marketer. You don't need a full-time hire.

    A £180k CMO is overkill at your stage; a junior marketing manager can't govern agencies or sit in front of the board.

    How we fix it

    Fractional CMO seat, senior strategy, agency governance and board-grade reporting on a monthly retainer, with an in-house build team behind it.

    04.

    Every landing page or site change is a three-month agency cycle.

    By the time the page ships, the campaign is over. Quote and enquiry flows are stitched together and leak.

    How we fix it

    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.

    05.

    Search has changed and you're not in the answer.

    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.

    How we fix it

    We restructure your site, content and entities so AI search engines cite you, not the competitor who already invested.

    06.

    Your CRM is a contact list, not a pipeline.

    Lifecycle is ad-hoc, email is broken, the sales team is working from memory. Reporting up to the board is a monthly fiction.

    How we fix it

    We design the lifecycle, build the journeys in HubSpot, Salesforce or Klaviyo, and rebuild reporting so the board sees pipeline, not narrative.

    07.

    Growth has stalled and no one can tell you why.

    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.

    How we fix it

    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

    Seven capabilities. One accountable seat at the table.

    01.

    07.

    Acquisition & exit diligence

    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.

    • Marketing and tech DD pack
    • CAC and attribution verification
    • Data, tracking and reporting audit
    • Exit-readiness or post-deal 100-day plan
    How it's bought

    One retainer. One operator. Build work scoped as it lands.

    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.

       Where we work

    Founder

    Built from inside the agency world, not the consulting deck.

    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.

    • Built and shipped large, high-traffic websites for luxury, industrial and enterprise brands.
    • Ranks #1 for AI marketing expert searches across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
    • Two decades inside founder-led businesses and enterprise marketing functions.
