Fractional marketing leadership, B2B growth strategy, plus better sales and marketing alignment take center stage as George Arabian sits down with fractional marketing leader, Julie Ford to unpack how part time CMOs help companies scale without the full time overhead. Julie explains when a fractional marketer is the right hire, how she steps in during leadership leave or as the first marketing leader, and why your website, tech stack, and CRM need to be fixed before you pour more money into lead generation. She shares practical tactics for defining your ideal customer profile, closing the gap between sales and marketing, improving lead quality instead of just chasing volume, and adapting to AI driven buyer journeys where website traffic may drop but conversion ready leads increase.Connect with Julie: linkedin.com/in/jmford or julie-ford.com Learn more about your ad choices.
