Testimonials
When Virginie worked with my company as a fractional CMO, she helped us across branding, content marketing, and general marketing strategies. It’s clear she has a tremendous amount of industry experience. She helped us apply frameworks (such as her Brand Architecture Framework) across business lines and recognize missing or weak points on all things marketing. We worked together across brand, messaging, content marketing, and SEM strategy. Virginie was consistently a pleasure to work with. Very easy to schedule (or reschedule) with and always brings her A-game.

Virginie was my fractional CMO during my maternity leave and I couldn’t have selected a better fit. As a very small (but growing quickly!), early stage venture where we all wore MANY hats – her assignment was a difficult one to step into. But she rolled up her sleeves and took on a critical portion of my role – one where the day-to-day can be unpredictable even for an FTE, one in an industry that has particular needs as related to content and context, one where she had to interact directly on my behalf both with the internal C-Suite and my agencies. She did so while both giving and taking feedback graciously and earning the trust of all involved. Thank you Virginie, quite literally for my maternity leave!

Their suggestions and acumen truly helped us develop a strong foundation, and provided us with the insight we needed to establish a solid plan for the future. I couldn’t be any more pleased with the outcome of our work together.

I had the pleasure of stepping into a new role on a team Virginie was guiding to develop a successful marketing operation as fractional CMO. I was immediately impressed with her depth of experience in marketing and brand development, and even more so in the way she mentored team members of all experience levels. From our CEO and executive team to the new employees approaching marketing from a high level for the first time, Virginie gave our team a common understanding of storytelling and authentic engagement that set us on the right path for long term success. She asked the big questions that got us thinking and then followed it up with practical tools and systems we can build on as we grow. She was patient, kind, and exceedingly encouraging at every turn. Virginie was an exceptional mentor and thinking partner to me and one I plan to return to for advice and guidance large and small in the future.
