Fractional CMO & sales leadership · March · Lake Zurich · Switzerland
Your business has stopped growing — even though the product is good.
Not a consultant who hands you a strategy deck: as an operator I take on marketing and sales for SMEs in March, on Lake Zurich and across Switzerland — shipping with AI in days what used to take a team weeks. In 5 minutes you'll see where your marketing is losing money — free.
You know the pattern
- You invest in marketing but don't know what actually works.
- Enquiries come in irregularly — sometimes too many, sometimes silence.
- You're missing someone who really leads marketing and sales — without having to create a full-time position.
Your team grew one hire at a time. AI just changed the math.
Marketing was built skill by skill — someone for content, someone for ads, someone for the website, plus an agency for the rest. In Switzerland that's expensive: an experienced marketer costs well over CHF 200,000 a year all-in — and still can't do everything. For an SME, marketing at that level was simply out of reach.
That has changed. With the right AI tools, one experienced person now does in hours what used to take a whole team or several providers: media buying, strategy, creative, entire websites and landing pages. For the first time, smaller companies can afford top-tier marketing too.
2–3 part-time hires + agency → 1 experienced operator + AI
