Senior marketing leadership, strategy and team oversight — without a full-time executive salary. Built for Perth businesses and the Western Australia market.
Perth's isolation makes senior marketing talent genuinely scarce — the local pool of executives with deep digital experience is small, and east-coast candidates are frequently reluctant to relocate. For resources, METS and industrial businesses that need sophisticated B2B marketing leadership, a fractional arrangement is often the only realistic route to that seniority without a relocation package and a twelve-month search.
Perth is the most isolated capital city in the world and its digital market reflects that. The economy is anchored by mining, resources, oil and gas, and the METS sector that services them — long, technical, high-value B2B sales cycles that behave nothing like a Sydney retail funnel. Alongside that sits a substantial trades and home-services layer serving one of the fastest-growing housing markets in the country.

Building the marketing function so it eventually runs without a fractional CMO.
The operational reality most east-coast agencies handle badly is the clock. AWST runs two hours behind Brisbane and three behind Sydney in summer, which means a Sydney agency working standard hours has effectively finished the day before Perth hits lunchtime. Ad schedules, lead-response windows and reporting cadence all have to be built around AWST deliberately, not inherited from an east-coast template.

Typically two to four days a month for a business under $10m revenue, scaling with complexity. Enough to set direction, run the cadence and hold suppliers accountable — not enough to do the execution, which is deliberate.
An agency executes a channel. A fractional CMO decides which channels deserve budget at all, and then holds the agencies delivering them to account. The two are complementary — and if your agencies are performing, we will say so.
The goal is to make the role unnecessary. That means documented strategy, working systems, and usually a hiring brief for the permanent marketing lead you are now in a position to specify properly.
