Start with what you mean.
The role you want your brand to play. The people you want to matter to.
Joint marketing & business advisory
Something in your marketing isn’t working. Find out what.
Cultivated Method brings fractional CMO leadership and business coaching into one joint engagement. Start by examining the gap between your intentions, your market, and the way your business operates.
The method
The plan is only as good as the account it is built on.
Strategy starts with what is actually happening: where money goes, what gets measured, and what the buyer was trying to become when they bought. The recommendation comes after that, never before.
Look at what they see.
The signals, proof, and experiences that shape how people interpret you.
Find the distance between.
A sharper question before another tactic. A focus to investigate before amplification.
Meaning Gap Diagnostic
Trace the distance between intent and perception.
The meaning gap is the distance between what your brand intends to mean and what the market perceives. Trace your brand, audience, channels, and operating needs through twelve questions. See proposed advisory priorities and a starting point for a joint engagement. Your answers do not establish a confirmed diagnosis or retainer scope.
Our role
We advise. We train.
We research. We consult.
Cultivated Method brings fractional CMO leadership together with business coaching, mindset coaching, and sales infrastructure consulting. We help you understand your market, sharpen your positioning, strengthen your decisions, and give your team a clear plan to follow.
Our work includes research, strategic roadmaps, campaign direction, sales-process design, team training, and ongoing advisory support.
Specialist partners bring the strategy to life.
When you need creative production, websites, content, advertising, technical implementation, or ongoing digital marketing management, we connect you with trusted specialist partners equipped to handle that work. We provide strategic direction and coordinate with those partners within your agreed engagement scope.
Your retainer covers our advisory, research, consulting, and training services. Production, implementation, and digital marketing management are separately scoped and priced. Partner services, advertising spend, and software costs are not included unless expressly stated in your agreement.

All prices in USD. Monthly installments and full engagement totals are shown together. Discounts compare with the same tier's three-month monthly rate. Twelve months provides the lowest monthly rate and requires the longest commitment; it is not a month-to-month arrangement. Monthly service scope stays the same for each term. Applicable taxes, if any, and final payment terms are set out in the signed agreement.
Defined access. Focused work.
Each engagement covers one business and one primary brand. An active priority is one defined initiative, such as positioning, email nurture strategy, or sales-pipeline design. New priorities replace existing ones or require an agreed scope change.
Joint sessions include both advisors. Partner coordination meetings are separate from those sessions, within the stated allowance. Strategic documents and working resources are selected for the agreed priorities; access to every framework or deployment of every campaign is not promised.
Meeting allowances apply monthly and do not roll over. Additional meetings, brands, business units, or materially expanded work require written scope and pricing. Response targets apply on business days, excluding holidays. Between-session support is for questions and strategic feedback, not production requests or on-call availability.
Client decisions, access to information, and execution capacity affect the schedule. We do not guarantee a particular business outcome. Engagements begin only after mutual fit, scope, and a signed agreement are confirmed.
