Simplified Strategies, Real Impact

Welcome to the world of marketing made simple, where the results are real and the strategies are clear as day. I'm Erika Purcell, your trusted partner for all things marketing.

My Philosophy

Many CEOs are justifiably skeptical about traditional marketing—too often, it involves convoluted strategies and vague outcomes that don't align with business objectives. Recognizing this, I've honed a method that cuts through the noise, focusing on clear, actionable strategies that drive real results. I am here to simplify your marketing efforts, align them closely with your business goals, and ensure they deliver measurable success.

Tailored to Manufacturing

My expertise is particularly suited for the manufacturing industry, where precision, efficiency, and innovation are not just goals but necessities. Whether you're looking to streamline your sales funnel, enhance your digital presence, or leverage new technologies within Industry 4.0, I ensure our strategies are perfectly aligned with the unique needs of your business.

Fractional CMO

Erika Purcell

Why me?

As a Fractional Chief Marketing Advisor, I provide executive-level guidance on a part-time basis, allowing CEOs to access high-level strategic support without the commitment of a full-time hire. My flexible arrangement empowers internal teams to drive growth and make an impact in their industry quickly and efficiently.

Scaled Leadership

You can't afford to hit pause while you develop a detailed annual marketing plan. By focusing on the immediate quarter instead of a full-blown annual plan, I shorten the time to value and enable faster learning and iteration. My agile approach ensures that you can adapt to changes in the market and optimize your strategies for maximum impact.

Agile Approach

I understand that complex strategies often lead to poor execution. That's why I believe in keeping things simple, clear, and concise. My strategies are tailored to your resources, capabilities, and objectives, ensuring they can be easily adopted, owned, and executed by your team. CEOs appreciate my focus on simplicity and clarity, aligning with their preference for tangible, measurable outcomes.

Simplified Strategy

Unlike in-house CMOs who may take months to onboard, I move quickly. My fresh perspective and unbiased approach allow me to focus entirely on delivering results from day one. CEOs can trust in my ability to drive revenue growth and impact without unnecessary delays.
