Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a Fractional Content Director?

A Fractional Content Director is a senior content and PR leader you hire part-time on a monthly retainer. I set your content strategy, run executive visibility and media PR, direct the people and AI tools that produce the work, and report on leads and pipeline, without the cost of a full-time hire.

What is a 24/7 client acquisition engine?

It is a connected system of content, social media, PR, a newsletter and website pages that keeps bringing in enquiries while you work on other things. Each piece points to a clear next step, such as a free resource or a discovery call, and every lead is tracked.

Do you work with clients in the USA and Canada?

Yes. I work fully remotely with clients in the United States, Canada and worldwide. Calls, reviews and approvals run on video and shared calendars, and every engagement is quoted and invoiced in USD.

What kinds of clients do you work with?

B2B companies in the United States and worldwide, especially SaaS and tech, professional services and global brands entering the US market, plus CEOs, founders and C-suite executives worldwide who want a stronger public profile.

How much does a fractional content director cost?

Fractional marketing and content directors usually work on a monthly retainer; Go Fractional reports most engagements at $5,000 to $10,000 a month for 10 to 20 hours a week in 2026. After a free discovery call you receive a written proposal with a fixed fee in USD.

Do you offer LinkedIn ghostwriting and thought leadership for executives?

Yes. My Executive Visibility service covers LinkedIn ghostwriting in your voice, profile optimization, bylines, podcast guest spots and speaking opportunities for C-level leaders worldwide.

Do you use AI to create content?

Yes, for research, drafting and production speed. Every piece is directed, edited and approved by me before it reaches your audience, so it sounds like you.
