Boulder Punch — Fractional CMO for B2B Companies
Fractional CMO

Marketing Leadership That Breaks Through.

B2B  •  SaaS  •  Technology  •  Services  •  Growth-Stage Companies

Boulder Punch embeds senior fractional marketing leadership into your business on a part-time basis aligning strategy, execution, and accountability to drive predictable growth.

Teams are busy, agencies are active, campaigns are live but growth stalls or is inconsistent. We step in to own the strategy and tie every decision back to revenue.

Most B2B companies don't have a marketing execution problem. They have a marketing leadership gap.

How it works

You don't need more marketing.
You need someone to own it.

Activity isn’t the issue—ownership is. When multiple teams and partners are pushing work forward without a single point of accountability, results fluctuate. Boulder Punch provides that leadership, setting direction, coordinating execution, and making sure every initiative is focused on driving measurable revenue.

Strategy ownership

One person accountable for where marketing goes and why.

Clear positioning

A single narrative that holds across every channel and conversation.

Pipeline visibility

Marketing tied directly to revenue — not just activity and impressions.

Leadership freed up

Founders and executives back in direction, not day-to-day execution.

Meet Tim

Growth doesn't stop when it faces obstacles. It breaks through them.

I bring structure, focus, and accountability to your marketing. I step in as a member of your executive team and serve as an embedded marketing leader on a part-time or fractional basis — responsible for strategy, execution, team management, and results. I don't consult. I don't sit on the sidelines. I operate inside your business.

When we work together, you get someone who:

Owns marketing strategy and sets clear priorities
Sets goals, KPIs, and accountability across the team
Aligns marketing with Sales, Product, and RevOps
Makes the hard calls about what not to do
Builds and coaches teams to execute with confidence

Why a fractional CMO

Senior leadership. Without the full-time cost.

Most companies at this stage don't need a full-time $300k hire. They need someone who can build the system, lead the team, and own results — on a timeline and budget that works now.

Option

Full-time Marketing Director/VP

Senior strategic leadership
$180–280k+ salary before benefits
3–6 month hiring process
High risk if it's the wrong hire
Option

Marketing agency

Executes campaigns quickly
No ownership of strategy or results
Optimises for output, not revenue
You still need someone to lead them

Fractional CMO works best when you need strategic leadership now, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

Who we work with

Built for companies where growth can't wait.

Boulder Punch works with B2B companies that have proven their product value and are ready to build a growth system but aren't yet ready for a full-time CMO.

B2B SaaS

Post-MVP, pre-scale

You have traction but no marketing system. Growth is founder-led and starting to break.

Professional services

Expertise without reach

Strong reputation, weak pipeline. The work is good — the market just doesn't know you exist.

B2B companies

Expanding into new markets

Growing but entering new verticals with no playbook for what comes next.

Startups pre-Series B

Ready to build the engine

Early traction proven. Now you need a repeatable growth system before hiring a full team.

Common signals it's time to talk

Founder still owns marketing No CMO or VP of Marketing Pipeline is inconsistent Agency isn't moving the needle Board asking for a growth plan Entering a new market Series A closed, scaling next

The Boulder Punch Growth System

Growth becomes sustainable when it is structured. Without alignment across strategy, execution, and measurement, even strong teams produce inconsistent results.

One system. Full ownership.

Without a system

No clear owner

Marketing runs on whoever has bandwidth, not strategy.

Fragmented positioning

Every channel tells a different story. Nothing compounds.

Invisible pipeline

Activity is high. Revenue impact is anyone's guess.

Leadership in the weeds

Founders and executives doing CMO work instead of CEO work.
