Fractional marketing director
Fractional Marketing Director / Fractional CMO in Charlotte
Hiring an experienced marketing director in Charlotte costs $150K or more a year before benefits. Most small and mid-sized businesses need that level of thinking, but not at that price.
A fractional marketing director gives you senior strategy for a fraction of the cost. With 1Stack you get something more: I don't just make the plan, I do the work myself.

Strategy and hands-on work in one person
Many fractional CMOs advise and then hand the work to freelancers or agencies you also have to pay. I run the ads, make the creative, build the landing pages, manage social and email, and report on all of it, for $2,900 a month, month to month.
- Marketing strategy and a clear plan for what's next
- Facebook, Instagram, Google and TikTok ad management
- Creative, social media, email and text marketing
- Landing pages and local SEO basics
- Budget guidance and monthly reporting
- A senior marketer you talk to directly
How it works
We start with a strategy call about your goals, numbers and what's been tried before. I then lay out a plan with priorities for the first few months and set up tracking so we can measure what matters.
From there I run your marketing week to week and meet with you monthly to review results and decide next steps, the same way an in-house marketing director would.
Who it's for
Owners and leadership teams around Charlotte who are doing marketing themselves, managing several vendors, or thinking about a full-time marketing hire. It's also a good fit for companies launching a new product or brand that need someone who's done it before.
I've launched and grown brands of my own, including Par Pong, Gamble Gang and Ruxen.ai, and spent five years as marketing manager for JW Metal Cabinets. I hold a B.S. in Marketing from Liberty University.

FAQ
Common questions
What's the difference between a fractional CMO and an agency?
An agency usually has a salesperson, an account manager and a team doing the work. With 1Stack you work with one senior marketer who sets the strategy and does the work.
How much time will you spend on my business?
I only take a few clients at a time so each one gets real attention. We'll talk through scope and priorities on our first call.
Can you work with my existing team or vendors?
Yes. I can take over what makes sense, coordinate with your team and help you decide which vendors you still need.
Is there a long-term commitment?
No. It's month to month.
