Fractional CMO · Portland–Metro
Your One-Person Marketing Department
Fractional CMO services for Portland-metro businesses. No full-time salary, no long-term contract. Local and ready to come on-site.
The dilemma
Are you a small business owner who knows you need marketing help — but can’t justify a full-time employee expecting a competitive salary and benefits?
Perhaps you work for a larger company that wants to simplify its marketing department, or just needs a second set of eyes.
You need someone local — willing to come on-site and truly understand your operations, your strengths, and your weaknesses. You need someone experienced and adept at all aspects of marketing.
You just can’t justify $250K+ in salary and benefits for a full-time Chief Marketing Officer, let alone an entire department — but you don’t want to lock into a long-term contract with someone you barely know, either.
You need Joe.
Your Portland, Oregon metro-area Fractional CMO — your one-person marketing department.
Meet your CMO
Hi, I’m Joe Downs.
I’m a Portland metro-based marketer with over a decade of experience — including five-plus years as Director of Marketing for B2i Digital, one of the premier investor-awareness platforms in the United States.
I’ve managed marketing for clients ranging from publicly-traded companies to mom-and-pops, B2B and B2C alike — every layer of it, from the back-end optimizations no one ever sees to the front-line content built to grab the end user’s attention.
Local, experienced, and ready to get to work.
In his words
