how we work together

Building the system underneath the tactics you already have.

An honest look at where your team is and what will actually move things forward, whether that's one focused project or an ongoing partner in your corner.

who you are

Does this sound familiar?

The organizations I work with aren't all at the same stage. Some are scaling fast and outgrowing what got them here. Others are steady but stuck, with marketing that's more reactive than intentional. What connects them: there's real ambition here, and a willingness to build the thinking behind the tactics, not just add more tactics.

Teams where marketing is scattered across departments or stuck in one person's head

Organizations mid-transition (new leadership, new direction, new market) who need a thought partner

Brands with real budget and real ambition, but no strategic system underneath the tactics

Values-led organizations who want their internal culture and external brand to actually match

ways I can support you

How we can work together

Two ways in, depending on whether you need something built or ongoing leadership to steer it.

project work

Build the System

Quoted by scope

For when you need a system built: brand, onboarding, lifecycle, or community. I'll lead it end to end, coordinate execution, and be your single accountable lead. Every project is quoted after we talk through what you actually need. This generally includes work on:

  • Brand systems
  • Onboarding & lifecycle journeys
  • Community & education platforms
  • End-to-end project leadership

fractional cmo

Ongoing leadership

$250/hr · 10-hour monthly minimum

For when you need ongoing strategic leadership, built to live inside your organization: your teams, your approvals, your roadmap. A consistent presence who knows your context, so you're never re-explaining where things stand.

  • Embedded with your team, when they need me
  • Strategic roadmap ownership
  • Works within your approvals process
  • Consistent context, no re-explaining

Trusted by teams that build things that last.

  • "Chantelle and I worked together for many years, growing Songtrust from a company that few had heard of to one that sets the standard in making one of the most complex and little-understood parts of the music business accessible and successful for its clients and shareholders. Her enthusiasm, comprehensive approach, and passion are sincere and help inspire teams to build and achieve their goals."

    Molly Neuman, President, CD Baby

  • "We hired Chantelle onto Songtrust's growth team, and it was clear right away she thought strategically, not just tactically. She was instrumental in drafting and launching the Modern Guide to Music Publishing, which is still, years later, one of their strongest lead-generating and most-referenced resources. That same instinct, building things with real staying power, carried through as she grew into leadership and helped shape programs like Songtrust Amplified. Now, as she builds her own consulting practice, I see that same thoughtfulness at work, asking the right questions, being intentional about every decision, and thinking several steps ahead. If you're looking for creative strategic support, I'd recommend Chantelle without hesitation."

    Joe Conyers III, Co-Founder & CEO, Recs

  • "I had the opportunity to work with Chantelle while she led marketing at Songtrust and she was consistently one of my favorite clients to collaborate with. She was organized, communicative, and always kept projects moving while giving our team the context we needed to do our best work. She approached every project as a true partner—open to feedback, collaborative, and focused on finding the best solution together. Working with her always brought a sense of calm and ease, even when a project became stressful, and she was simply a pleasure to work with. I'd gladly recommend her to any organization looking for a thoughtful and collaborative marketing partner."

    Josh Markus, Founder, Inbound Design Partners

  • "I’ve had the honor of working with Chantelle in multiple capacities – both through the CARE Employee Resource Group (ERG) she founded as well as via a inter-company partnership program. I’ve always admired Chantelle’s leadership, attention to detail, and genuine passion for helping others. Chantelle’s passion for helping others came through in all of the initiatives she designed, and for each project, she always had a meticulously well-thought out plan, with clear & concise communication that always brought people together in a positive way. If you’re looking for an experienced, driven leader with superb attention to detail and excellent project management skills, Chantelle is the one for you!"

questions

A few things people usually ask.

Quick answers before you reach out, or before you book the call.

Yes, happy to work within whatever process your legal or procurement team needs. Bring me into that conversation early and we'll figure it out together.

Definitely. The free 15-minute call is a good place to start, and I'm glad to do a follow-up with additional decision-makers before anything's signed.

Alongside, almost always. I'm brought in for the strategic layer that's missing, not to take over what's already working. Think thought partner, not replacement.

Not sure which fits? Projects are for building something specific; fractional is for ongoing leadership. We'll figure it out on the call.
