Canonical positioning
Nyman Mediaprovides fractional CMO leadership for tech companies in growth, transition, or reset. The firm is operator- led: every engagement is run by someone who has owned a P&L for marketing, not a strategy deck author. The bench is small and matched to engagement context (stage, vertical, specific bottleneck), so the principal who scopes the work is also the one accountable for outcomes.
Engagement models
Fractional CMO Partnership
Embedded executive marketing leadership with a weekly cadence, a 90-day plan, and board-grade reporting on pipeline, CAC, and velocity.
Best fit: Tech companies that need a stronger plan, tighter prioritisation, and a steady operating rhythm without a full-time hire.
Growth Diagnosis Sprint
A four-week diagnostic that surfaces bottlenecks in positioning, funnel, spend allocation, and operating rhythm, and ranks what to fix first.
Best fit: Teams that suspect the plan is wrong but cannot point to where. Output is a 90-day execution plan the team can run without us.
AI-Readiness Audit
A scored read on how visible, accurate, and defensible a brand is inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other answer engines.
Best fit: Brands losing share to AI answer surfaces or unsure whether their content is being cited. Output is a sequenced fix list.
When this is the right answer
- Real product, real budget, leader who can act on a plan.
- Marketing leadership gap during a transition, reset, or post- acquisition.
- Rising CAC against a healthy top of funnel.
- Unclear positioning or messaging across product and sales.
- AI-driven shifts in search and discovery (AI Overviews, LLM citation, GEO/LLMO visibility loss).
When this is the wrong answer
When positioning is genuinely undecided. Fractional sharpens execution against a clear bet; if the company has not decided what it is yet, it needs a co-founder, not an operator. Same when there is no budget or authority to act on the diagnosis. Nyman Media turns those engagements down in week one.
