To Launch And Grow Your
Fractional CMO Business
Whether you’re working a 9-5 or have your own business already, most experienced marketing professionals dream of getting paid the big bucks to focus on strategy – and get out of the weeds of execution.
The problem is – starting a Fractional CMO business is overwhelming without a roadmap. How do you know what to charge? How do you find great clients? And when you do… how do you actually show up as a Fractional CMO?
Does any of this sound familiar?
You want to move from doing, to leading > You crave a shift from hands-on tasks to crafting big-picture strategies, steering the ship not rowing the boat.
You’re craving growth and mentorship > You're surrounded by walls —no one to learn from, no room to grow. You're ready for a space where your marketing mind can truly expand.
You’re stuck in a career rut > You've got big ideas and an even bigger drive, but every day feels like déjà vu. You're craving a leap, not just a step, in your career.
You’re overwhelmed by work-life imbalance > You're spinning too many plates, looking for that sweet spot where work complements life, not consumes it.
You’re craving diversity in your work > Your current gig is a one-note tune, but you're ready to play the whole symphony, diving into a variety of brands and challenges.
You want to make more money > Your talent deserves more than just a pat on the back; you're on the hunt for compensation that matches your worth.
If This Sounds Like You…
THEN YOU’RE IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT PLACE
Fractional CMO School is perfect for you if…
You’re a marketing expert with 5+ years of experience > If you’re just starting out, this isn’t for you. This program is about refining and positioning yourself to lead, not marketing.
You’re ready to ditch the 9-5 and join entrepreneurship > We’re over building someone else’s dream -- it’s time for those efforts to work for our own goals (and bank accounts!)
You’re a marketing consultant looking to add fractional CMO services > You’re great at what you do & you’re ready to offer big picture strategy, working with executives exclusively.
You’re a fractional CMO and want to be among the best in your field > Amazing, welcome to the club! Now you need systems, processes, and guidance on how to grow and scale.
What if you can have it all?

TIME FREEDOM - WORK LIFE BALANCE - UNCAPPED INCOME -
Imagine if…
Work didn’t feel like work.
You know you’re doing what you were born to do. Everything feels aligned. You’re seeing measurable results. Strategy is flowing. You’re living with ease.
You ONLY worked with dream clients > Ones that are aligned with you and your values, with great budgets and teams of players who all value your strategic mind, ideas and the A-Game you bring to the table.
You had control over your days > You get to choose when you work, how you work, who you work with and why. Your days were designed around you -- your calendar included the things that matter most.
THIS ISN'T A PIPE DREAM.
I'VE DONE IT. SO CAN YOU.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
Miranda Holland
“The catalyst I needed to launch out on my own”
“I just wanted to send you a quick message to say "thank you!" I have been so blessed by your fCMO school. It was the catalyst I needed to launch out on my own. I just put in my notice for my 9-5 and will be pursuing this full time in October. I have 3 new contracts that are planning to start then as well so I will be starting out the gate with the work I need to build my business. It was immensely helpful going through your lessons and using your templates as guides.
Thank you again for all the work and care you put into this. ”
Kevin Corkum
“I have finally found a place where I can uplevel my business”
“I’ve known Jessica for a couple of years now. She is the first call I make when I’m stuck on something. Bluntly, I am in awe of how she has built her company: her service packages, her presentation, and of course her branding.
I have finally found a place where I can uplevel my business. "For me, working with Jess has felt more like a mastermind than a school. The content is approachable for those in marketing looking to branch out and deep enough for senior marketers to take things to the next level. Thanks so much Jess!”
Emma Boshart
“THE best investment I have EVER made”
“Being part of the Fractional CMO school has really given me the kick in the butt I needed to fully own the role of fCMO both in my business and online. Since joining, I've revamped my entire offer suite, begun to update my website, officially "announced" myself on social media, and have a sales call lined up with a company I'd love to work with. Jess has provided all the tools I need to take my current business to the next level, from fully outlined options for offers to templates for EVERY situation to personal support. It's invaluable having someone with Jess' experience to answer my questions, give me advice, and be there to cheer me on. This program is one of the best investments I've EVER made in my business!”
Abby Mundell
“I launched my business with confidence”
“Diving into entrepreneurship with years of marketing experience felt natural, yet the transition was filled with unexpected hurdles. It wasn't my qualifications that I found lacking, but rather the essential toolkit for starting my own business as a fractional CMO. This is where Jess and her fractional CMO school made all the difference. Jess didn’t just provide education; she equipped me with a comprehensive suite of tools, resources, and the kind of practical knowledge you won’t find in textbooks. Her detailed guidance on when, why, and how to use these resources transformed my readiness into real capability. Thanks to her, I launched my business with confidence and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed. Jess’s program isn't just about learning to be an entrepreneur—it's about becoming one.”
