Personal marketing consulting, fractional CMO services, and speaking engagements. Helping startups and growth-stage companies build systems that scale.
Overview
Hire Timothy Solomon is my direct consulting practice. It's where I work one-on-one with founders and marketing leaders to solve their hardest problems.
Unlike agency work where I'm managing teams and processes, consulting engagements are focused on high-leverage strategy and systems design. The goal is to build capabilities that persist after I leave.
Services
Fractional CMO
Strategic marketing leadership for companies at inflection points. I work with Series A through Series C companies that need senior marketing expertise but aren't ready for a full-time executive.
Typical engagements include:
- Marketing strategy and planning
- Team structure and hiring
- Go-to-market design
- Marketing technology stack
- Board and investor communications
Engagement: 15-25 hours per month, 6-month minimum commitment.
Marketing Systems Design
Intensive engagements focused on building marketing infrastructure. I design the systems—CRM architecture, automation workflows, attribution models, reporting frameworks—then work with your team to implement them.
Engagement: 2-4 week sprints with defined deliverables.
Advisory
Ongoing advisory relationships for executives who want a strategic thought partner. We meet regularly to discuss challenges, review plans, and pressure-test decisions.
Engagement: Monthly retainer, typically 4-6 hours.
Speaking
I speak at conferences, company offsites, and private events on topics including:
- Systems thinking for marketers
- CRM architecture and implementation
- The physics of attribution
- Building marketing that scales
Philosophy
I believe marketing problems are usually systems problems in disguise. A "lead quality" issue is often a data architecture issue. A "conversion" problem is often a qualification problem.
My approach is to find the underlying structure, then build systems that address root causes rather than symptoms.
Who I Work With
My clients are typically:
- B2B SaaS companies from seed to Series C
- Marketplace businesses with complex acquisition funnels
- Professional services firms scaling beyond founder-led sales
I'm most valuable when there's complexity to untangle—multiple products, multi-touch attribution, cross-functional coordination.
Results
Recent engagements have delivered:
- 65% improvement in marketing-sourced pipeline for a Series B SaaS company
- Complete CRM redesign reducing sales cycle by 3 weeks
- Attribution framework that unified marketing and sales reporting
- Go-to-market strategy for successful market expansion
