Services
Senior marketing strategy, execution, and leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Blue Harbor Partners provides senior-level marketing support across strategy, execution, and leadership. Whether you need to bring structure to your marketing, elevate key initiatives, or step in during a transition, the focus is always the same: clear direction, consistent execution, and work that drives meaningful business results.
Most engagements start in one of three ways:
Marketing Strategy & Growth
Bringing clarity, structure, and direction to your marketing efforts.
When marketing feels reactive or inconsistent, the first step is building a clear, focused plan.
I work with leadership to align priorities, define where to focus, and create a practical roadmap that can actually be executed.
From there, I stay involved to ensure the work moves forward not just planned, but delivered.
What this encompasses:
Go-to-market strategy and planning
Account-based and targeted marketing approaches
Messaging and positioning refinement
Campaign planning and execution
Sales and marketing alignment
AI tools assessment and guidance on where and how to apply them effectively
Events & Experience Strategy
Designing and executing events that are thoughtful, well-run, and aligned to business goals.
Events are one of the most valuable ways to build relationships, but they are often underutilized or become a strain on internal teams.
I take ownership of the strategy, planning, and execution, ensuring events are intentional, well-coordinated, and deliver a strong experience for attendees, sponsors, and leadership.
Whether supporting a single event or an ongoing series, the goal is to create experiences that reflect your brand and contribute to broader business objectives.
What this encompasses:
Conferences, roundtables, and executive events
Sponsorship strategy and value creation
End-to-end planning and execution
Audience development and promotion
On-site coordination and leadership support
Post-event follow-up and ROI alignment
Fractional & Interim Marketing Leadership
Experienced marketing leadership, when and where you need it.
Not every organization needs a full-time senior marketing hire, but many need experienced leadership to keep things moving.
I step in to provide continuity, direction, and oversight, whether covering a temporary gap or helping stabilize and scale marketing efforts.
This includes working directly with leadership, managing internal teams or external partners, and ensuring priorities stay aligned and execution remains consistent.
What this encompasses:
Maternity leave and temporary coverage
Transition support between roles
Embedded marketing leadership
Managing internal teams and external vendors
Building structure, processes, and repeatable ways of working
Private Equity & Growth Advisory
Supporting investment decisions and portfolio growth through marketing clarity and structure.
Private equity firms and portfolio companies often acquire businesses where marketing is underdeveloped, inconsistently structured, or hasn't been evaluated as part of the investment thesis.
I work with PE teams and portfolio leadership to assess what's in place, identify gaps, and build the structure needed to support growth and exit readiness.
What this encompasses:
Marketing due diligence and asset review
Portfolio company marketing assessments
Leadership offsites and growth planning sessions
Change management and post-acquisition alignment
Go-to-market and growth acceleration planning
