Hello!
I am Manu Prasad

A Fractional CMO for startups.

With 21+ years of experience in companies such as Myntra, Urban Ladder & most recently Scripbox, where I was the CMO, I am a full stack marketer, having led diverse teams across brand, digital marketing, growth, social media, content and PR. 

I now work as a Fractional CMO for startups on brand and growth initiatives.

But, what is a 

Fractional CMO?

 

An efficient and effective way to accelerate brand and business growth.

 
 

Startups know that positioning their brand, and finding growth loops early on is crucial, but are unable to act on it for various reasons – time, money, lack of qualified folks etc. 

A Fractional CMO can work with the founding/ leadership/ marketing team on brand and growth challenges, until the startup is ready to hire a full-time CMO.

All of the expertise. Some of the time.

Here’s how it works.

ATM for startups 

No, not money. All Things Marketing. 

Set up

From effective brand storytelling to efficient GTM and growth loops, I’ll help you with everything you need to kickstart brand and business. 
Take a look at my 6 month CMO plan. 

Optimise

An objective audit of your marketing strategy and activities, to identify low hanging truths, and to find new means to accelerate growth. 
 

Refresh

Sometimes, marketing teams can benefit from a different perspective. A holistic one coming from someone who has been doing it for a while. 
 Or your brand/marketing lead could do with some help on ‘CMO readiness’. 

Troubleshoot

It could be anything – broad directional help, a workshop for your team, or a specific issue in brand strategy, growth through acquisition or retention, campaign management, content, social media, PR.  
 

In short, S/O/R/T your marketing. Makes sense?
