Meydenbauer Partners
is seeking an experienced Fractional Chief Marketing Officer to lead marketing strategy for a growth-stage lifestyle and travel application focused on city tours and immersive local experiences.
This is an advisory engagement with meaningful strategic ownership and a defined near-term mandate to drive city traction ahead of a significant summer 2026 demand window.
Scope of Responsibility:
• Marketing strategy and four-city go-to-market focus (New York, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston)
• Brand voice partnership with the founder, building on a fully developed StoryBrand-based messaging foundation
• Outreach strategy across tourism boards, media organizations, and city stakeholders. Daily execution remains with our demand generation team.
• Video creative direction across hero polish and city-specific story cuts. Hands-on editing is handled by a separate vendor.
• Monthly one-page GTM plan, partnership target list, and message architecture
Candidate Profile:
• Seven or more years in consumer marketing, ideally within lifestyle, travel, hospitality, or experiential technology
• Demonstrated track record building partnership-led growth motions (media, tourism, brand collaborations) rather than pure paid acquisition
• Comfort directing strategy across multiple channels (organic, partnerships, content) without ownership of daily execution
• Experience working with founder-led teams and partnering on brand voice development
• Self-directed working style suited to fractional engagements
Why This Engagement:
• Pre-built foundation. Positioning, audience definitions, differentiation engine, and a complete messaging package are already in place. You inherit and execute on a strong foundation rather than starting from scratch.
• Tier one city focus aligned to a fixed, time-bound summer 2026 demand window
• Direct collaboration with the founder and delivery team
• Backed by Meydenbauer Partners' delivery infrastructure across engineering, demand generation, and design
Engagement Specifications:
• 15 to 20 hours per month, averaging approximately five hours per week
• Weekly 30 to 45 minute working sync with delivery lead and operations
• Monthly deliverables: GTM plan, message pack, partnership target list, video creative direction
• Three-month initial commitment with extension based on traction
