What if every franchise location had the marketing power of your most successful one?

I’m Shaun, your fractional CMO who eliminates the guesswork from franchise marketing. I take the strategies that work at your top-performing locations and scale them across your entire network—creating predictable growth without the enterprise-level marketing budget.

Your Franchise Marketing Feels Like Herding Cats

You’re growing fast, but your marketing can’t keep up. Every location does something different. Your brand fund feels like a black hole. And you’re spending more time putting out fires than building the business.

Does this sound familiar?

$

Brand fund dollars disappear with no clear ROI to show for it

$
Franchisees create their own ads (and you’re embarrassed by what customers see)
$
Your internal team is drowning in execution with zero strategic direction
$
Qualified franchise prospects aren’t finding you
$
You know you need a CMO but can’t justify a $300K+ salary yet

The Truth?

Founder-led marketing stops working the moment you hit 10+ locations. You need systems, not more vendors.

What Happens When You Have a Marketing Leader

You get back to running the business. I become your CMO.

I help brands with 30+ units grow to 300+. I bring the structure and systems that turn marketing from your biggest headache into your most reliable growth driver.

Here’s what we build together:

✓ One brand voice that works nationally and locally

✓ Marketing systems franchisees actually follow (because they work)

✓ Clear processes so your HQ team can focus on strategy, not chaos

✓ Measurable results that prove every dollar is working

Finally, marketing that scales with your business instead of against it.
