For leadership teams who know marketing isn't working but can't pinpoint why.
In three weeks, you'll know exactly who you serve, what to say, and what to do for the next 90 days, with your leadership team aligned behind it.
For companies ready to scale but not ready for a full-time CMO.
A senior marketing leader on your team: I own the plan, lead your people and agencies, and report results to leadership, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.
Please reach us at allison@wearethreadline.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
An agency sells execution: ads, content, design. I sell leadership. I set the strategy, decide where the money goes, and hold the team and agencies accountable for results. Many of my clients keep their agencies; I make them more effective.
Both, in the right proportion. I build the plan and lead the people who carry it out, whether that's your team, your agencies, or freelancers I bring in. I don't disappear after handing you a document.
AI can write a plan in minutes. It can't tell you which plan fits your business, get your leadership team to agree on it, or hold people accountable when it gets hard. I use AI every day to work faster, so your budget goes to judgment and leadership, not busywork.
Growing companies that have outgrown founder-led marketing but aren't ready for a full-time CMO. Most are multi-location or distribution-driven businesses with $10-$100 million in revenue and some marketing in place, but no senior leader running it.
You'll have clarity in three weeks: positioning, messaging, and a 90-day plan. Leading indicators like lead quality and pipeline usually move within the first 90 days. Revenue impact depends on your sales cycle; for most clients it shows within six to twelve months.
No. The Growth Strategy Intensive is a fixed three-week project. Fractional Leadership has a three-month initial term, then runs month to month.
Yes. I work remotely with companies across the U.S. and travel for the moments that matter most, like kickoffs, workshops, and quarterly reviews.
Most work happens remotely, which keeps your investment focused on the work. On-site days within 75 miles of Birmingham are included. Travel beyond that is billed at cost, and only with your approval.
Let's jump on a 30-minute call together.
