VERO BEACH, Fla. - TelAve -- Foxtown Marketing today announced fractional CMO services for three verticals: early-stage SaaS and technology companies, home services and skilled trades, and law firms. The three look unrelated on paper. They share one thing that matters. All of them are generating real revenue with no marketing leadership in the building.

The reasons differ by industry. Law firm owners and home services operators typically never hired a CMO in the first place, so the managing partner or the owner is approving ad spend between client work and dispatch calls. SaaS founders usually have a marketing team but no one to lead it, either because a full-time CMO at $250,000 or more can't be justified yet, or because the first senior hire didn't work out and nobody wants to repeat that.

"There's a gap between your first marketer and your first CMO, and a lot of companies sit in it for years," said Jon Sterling, co-founder of Foxtown Marketing. "You end up with an owner running paid search on instinct, or a smart junior marketer with nobody to tell them which channel to kill. Both are expensive in ways that don't show up on a P&L until later."

Foxtown engagements run monthly and include channel strategy, budget allocation, attribution and call tracking setup, agency and vendor oversight, and direct management of in-house marketing staff. Sterling has run marketing operations since 2014 and has worked on the founder side as an angel investor and product operator, which informs the SaaS side of the practice.

"I'm not going to pretend a law firm and a Series A SaaS company need the same playbook," Sterling said. "They don't. What's the same is somebody senior looking at the numbers every week and making a call."
