Scaling company without senior marketing leadership

Stage: £1–£5m revenue. Team of 10–40. Growing fast.
The company has traction. Sales are happening. Marketing exists, but it has grown in fragments.
There may be:
A junior marketer doing their best
A couple of agencies running campaigns
Founders still making final marketing decisions
Activity is high, but direction is unclear. Campaigns are launched without a clear narrative. Brand consistency slips. Lead quality is unpredictable. Everyone is busy, but no one owns the whole picture.
Hiring a full-time Head of Marketing feels like the next step — but the role isn’t clearly defined yet.
Why fractional marketing at this stage
Bright Buzz steps in to provide senior marketing leadership without locking the business into a premature hire.
At this stage, we typically:
Define what marketing is actually responsible for now
Set priorities aligned to commercial goals
Create a clear brand and messaging direction
Bring structure to campaigns and lead generation
Manage agencies and internal resources properly
This gives the business clarity and momentum while shaping what a future full-time role should look like or removing the need for one entirely.
Interested in a partnership with us on a fractional basis, book a call today.
