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.

Your Franchise Marketing Feels Like Herding Cats

Whether you’re preparing to franchise or trying to align 50+ locations under one brand, I bring the structure and systems that turn marketing from your biggest headache into your most reliable growth driver.

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

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

I help brands with 30+ units grow to 300+ by bringing structure and systems that turn marketing….
  • 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.
