Managing Partner
Evergreen Engagement Pty LtdManaging Partner
Jan. 2025Melbourne, Victoria, Australia🚀 Fractional CMO for Ecommerce Brands | Strategy, Structure & Momentum — Without the Full-Time Price Tag 🚀 Most growing brands hit a point where DIY marketing just won’t cut it — but hiring a full-time CMO isn’t realistic (yet). That’s where I come in. At Evergreen Engagement, I act as your part-time CMO — helping you clarify your marketing priorities, build smart campaigns, and create consistent momentum across email, content, and growth strategy. With 20+ years in retail and online selling (plus a bustling café in Carlton North that I’ve run since 2017), I know what it takes to juggle big ambitions with real-world constraints — and how to turn ideas into action. 🧠 What I Bring: ✅ A clear marketing roadmap tailored to your goals ✅ High-converting Klaviyo strategy and campaign execution ✅ Launch planning, content ideas & channel strategy ✅ A sounding board for your big decisions (and small ones too) ✅ Accountability to get it done 💡 Who I Work With: → Shopify & DTC brands doing $500K – $10M+ → Solo founders and lean teams needing leadership & clarity → Brands ready to grow sustainably — without the fluff 📬 Ready to think (and grow) like a CMO?
