The Founder's Marketing Trap
You have done the spreadsheet. A team is five salaries, an agency is a hire and a half, and doing it yourself is your evenings. The trap has three walls:
You need a team, you can afford a hire
Brand, web, paid, content and design are five different skills. One generalist hire covers two of them badly.
The board wants growth numbers
Not a rebrand narrative, not brand awareness. Pipeline, CAC and burn multiple, and "we are building the foundation" survives exactly one board meeting.
A $30K/month US agency is not an option
The agencies with the muscle price for Series C. At seed and Series A, that retainer is a hire and a half of runway, gone before you know whether the channel even works.

Your Fractional Marketing Team
Brand Development
Positioning and identity done enough to raise, sell and hire, without a six-month exercise.
Brand development →Website Development
A conversion-ready site your team can edit without a developer on retainer. Shipped in weeks.
Website development →Performance Marketing
Paid channels run small, measured and plainly reported. Spend earns its next increment by showing pipeline.
Performance marketing →SEO & Content
The compounding channels start early, so long term is cheaper than month one.
SEO services →Our Own Numbers Are The Case Study
Dart has grown roughly 15x since Q3 2023, a team compounding on its own marketing and operating discipline. We did it on the economics we sell: small team, high output.
The model is the proof
Fractional teams only work if the operating system behind them does: briefing, production, review, reporting. Ask us to show you the system live, on a real account, in the discovery call.
