Who it is for

Built for tech companies that need a marketing function now

XMM fits when marketing has no senior owner. If the brand or website cannot support growth, we fix that first.

A strong fit if you

Have no senior marketing leader in house, or a CMO search that is taking too long
Run marketing as one-off activities with no annual plan or budget logic
Have a small team doing the work without strategic direction
Want to scale marketing before committing to full-time hires
Can commit to six months, the time a marketing plan needs to show results

Not the right start if you

Have a brand or website that holds back growth. Start with X Marketing Makeover.
Need pipeline from paid channels and named accounts above everything else. Start with X Demand Generation.
Are looking for hourly support from a single freelancer
