Fractional CMO · Growth · Ecommerce · Amazon

A coach who still plays.

Most consultants hand you a strategy and leave the doing to someone else. I write the plan and then run it, in the accounts, in the platform, in the numbers.

I'm Racheal. Twelve years as a full-time operator at consumer brands, most recently a CMO owning the entire growth engine. Now I bring that to a small number of businesses at a time, and treat each one like my own.

Racheal Thornbury, fractional CMO and growth consultant, with her dog Topper

CMO of a fast-scaling DTC brand

Multi-million dollar media budgets

Amazon channels launched from zero

Strategy and execution, from the same person.

Most engagements need both, and splitting them across a consultant and an agency is where plans go to die. I've spent my career doing them together.

The coach

Sets the strategy, the budget and what each channel owes the business

Sits in on decisions well past marketing: pricing, inventory, cash flow

Builds the team, the hiring plan and the operating rhythm

Reports it plainly to founders, executives and boards

The player

In the ad accounts across Meta, Google, TikTok and Amazon

Building the site, the landing pages and the checkout

Writing the emails, the flows and the offers

Doing the day-to-day when the day-to-day is what you need

Bring me in as whatever you're missing.

The range is the point. Twelve years across DTC, Amazon, wholesale, retail and service businesses means I've usually done the thing you need, in a category close enough to yours.

A dedicated paid media strategist

Someone senior actually in the accounts, buying against contribution margin rather than platform ROAS.

A fractional head of marketing

Full ownership of strategy, budget and team, without a full-time C-suite salary.

An operations rebuild

Fulfillment, martech, reporting and process, straightened out so marketing has something solid underneath it.

A product or brand launch

Positioning, go-to-market and the creative pipeline, from blank page to live and selling.

A budget that has to stretch

Limited dollars and limited hours, allocated to what actually returns. This is most of what I do.

A second opinion you can trust

A short sprint when you need senior judgment on one decision, not an ongoing retainer.

We can look at

Paid media: what works, what quietly wastes money

Your website, and where conversion leaks

Amazon listings and campaign structure

Email, SMS and retention, or the lack of them

Or bring your biggest problem and we scope it live

For DTC & ecommerce brands

One senior person across acquisition, retention, Amazon and the site, holding the strategy and doing the work.

Blended CAC climbing, no clear culprit
Amazon flat, or never launched properly
Agencies executing, nobody holding strategy
See how it works

For local & service business

A real website and marketing that brings people back, stretched to get the most out of every dollar you spend.

A website that is costing you customers
Ad spend with no idea what it returns
Regulars who never hear from you on purpose
See how it works

Tell me what's stuck. I'll tell you straight whether I can help.

I work with all budgets, and I'd rather scope something honest than sell you a retainer you don't need.
