Driving CPG Business Success from Strategy to Execution — Your Time is Now.

The goal of almost every food & beverage company is to take their marketing to the next level. But what’s usually missing is the strategy. Maybe your business is lacking marketing leadership or your messaging is full of mixed signals. Maybe you’ve tried working with an agency that’s adding more confusion and expense than progress. Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

On September 7th, 2023, Mike Currie, Marketing Advisor & Fractional CMO at Next Level CMO, and Raj Kapur, Founder & CEO of &Marketing, were joined by dozens of CPG business owners and leaders facing the same issues (you may have been one of them). Many of them heard about the buzz around Fractional CMOs and wanted to see what it was all about.

More and more CPG businesses are turning to highly-qualified fCMOs to take full responsibility over their growth strategy because it offers the executive power of a battle-tested Chief Marketing Officer through a flexible commitment that meets their business needs and budget. These subject matter experts bring years of proven marketing expertise to the table to uncover the truth behind your numbers, identify opportunities, and mitigate risk with a comprehensive marketing plan that they see through to fruition — all at a fraction of what a full-time CMO would cost.
