Growth Marketing Partner

What Growth Marketing Partner does

Growth Marketing Partner, Inc. is a privately held, solopreneur marketing consultancy founded circa 2021 and operated by Alexandra Chrisman from San Diego, California. The firm delivers fractional CMO services and marketing strategy consulting to early-to-mid-stage growth companies, B2B firms, financial services providers, real estate businesses, and professional services firms that require senior marketing leadership but are not ready to hire a full-time executive. Service engagements are delivered directly by the founder and span four commercial models: ongoing monthly retainers ($4,000–$15,000+), hourly advisory ($150–$400+), project-based or fixed-fee engagements ($5,000–$30,000+), and interim CMO capacity ($175–$500/hour or $20,000–$50,000/month). Typical engagement length is 6–12 months, with most clients reportedly seeing traction within 30–90 days.

The company has no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI/ML capability; its core deliverable is human-led strategic marketing advisory, including annual planning, budgeting and forecasting, customer segmentation, go-to-market strategy, brand positioning, campaign prioritization, and team/vendor alignment. Underlying delivery relies on the founder's 20+ years of marketing experience and a curated set of professional affiliations — most notably the ProVisors national advisor network and Bronze membership in the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce (2023) — which serve as referral pipelines. Distribution is entirely direct and founder-led, with no intermediaries, resellers, or self-serve motion; lead generation runs through SEO-optimized content marketing (blog and city/vertical service pages), the founder's LinkedIn presence, and warm-introduction referral networks, converting via a free 30-minute consultation booked through Calendly.

Geographically, the firm markets itself across five California markets — San Diego, Carlsbad, Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco — and claims nationwide service availability, though no physical offices outside San Diego are listed. Pricing is custom-quoted per engagement and is not publicly disclosed at the deal level. The company is privately held with no institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or publicly disclosed revenue, and Alexandra Chrisman is the sole employee and primary client contact.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Fractional CMO Services Ongoing fractional Chief Marketing Officer engagements delivered in multiple formats (virtual, interim full-time capacity during leadership transitions, part-time as-needed, and outsourced project-based execution). Provides strategic marketing leadership including annual planning, budgeting and forecasting, customer segmentation, buyer personas, go-to-market strategy, brand positioning, campaign prioritization, team and vendor alignment, marketing reporting, and sales/marketing alignment. Designed for founders, CEOs, and senior executives at companies that need executive marketing leadership without hiring a full-time CMO.
• Marketing Strategy Consulting Project-based or ongoing marketing strategy consulting covering marketing audits, go-to-market strategy development, annual planning, segmentation and positioning, and data-backed strategy design to drive sustainable measurable business growth. Targets early-to-mid-stage companies seeking a clear, cohesive marketing roadmap rather than full-time CMO support.
• Hourly Marketing Advisory Short-term advisory support billed hourly (typically $150 to $400+ per hour) for specific marketing challenges, scoped questions, or limited-duration engagements. More commonly used for targeted advice than sustained leadership, and frequently serves as an entry point for prospective clients evaluating a broader retainer.
• Project-Based Marketing Engagements One-time, fixed-fee engagements for defined deliverables such as go-to-market strategy development, marketing audits, comprehensive marketing strategy projects, and outsourced CMO execution work. Pricing is typically $5,000 to $30,000+ depending on scope and complexity, and is used by clients that need a discrete deliverable rather than ongoing leadership.

• Single Grain: Digital marketing agency serving SaaS and growth-stage companies with SEO, paid media, and content. Comparable target market (growth-stage tech), but delivers agency execution rather than fractional executive leadership.
• SmartBug Media: Full-service inbound marketing and revenue operations agency serving B2B companies. Comparable in serving growth-stage B2B firms but at agency scale and with broader execution capabilities than a fractional CMO practice.
