Services
Marketing Director
A 1099 marketing director that operates close to you and your business — providing the executive judgment, vendor control, and operating structure you expect from an in-house hire, at a fraction of the cost.
What This Is
Ongoing executive authority, not a list of deliverables.
You don't need an agency that sells you generic services, and you aren't ready for the internal burden of a full-time executive. You need a senior resource who can sit in the room with you and take ownership of the results.
Cairnmark is that 1099 marketing director. We operate close to you and your business, providing the executive judgment and accountability you expect from an in-house hire, at a fraction of the cost.
Operating Outputs
Operating Authority — We hold the seat, make the calls, and manage the complexity.
Vendor Control — We audit, direct, and coordinate your agencies and freelancers. They report to us, not you.
Fiscal Oversight — We manage the budget to ensure it aligns with business objectives, not tactical convenience.
System Rhythm — We build the recurring cadence that forces decisions to be made and actions to be completed.
