About Mark

Fractional Head of Marketing | Strategy, AI & High-End Content


Stop the lengthy search – start directly with measurable growth.

While you're still waiting for suitable applications for your marketing vacancies, the competition is already pulling ahead.

**My goal for you**: A marketing system that works predictably and grows with you – without recruiting delays, without rigid structures, and without agency overheads.



**Who I am and why it works for you**: I don't work as a classic freelancer, but as your Fractional Head of Marketing. I bring over 18 years of experience in Marketing & Sales (including ex-Google Future Workshop Trainer & IHK Course Instructor) directly into your company.



**What you gain with me**:

Strategy meets AI Power: I build automated lead systems (up to 56% deal conversion in case studies) and establish AI workflows that noticeably increase your efficiency.

**Own Content Production**: You get access to my €150,000 video and audio studio for TV-quality content. The first day of use per month is included for you with timely planning.


Maximum Flexibility('Skill Swap'): You decide monthly what you need – whether it's strategic planning, performance ads, or video production. Your retainer remains a dynamic quota.

**Partnership-Based Leadership**: If needed, I lead your teams (experience with up to 16.5 FTE) according to the 'Tight-Loose-Tight' principle: Clear guardrails at the start, maximum freedom in execution.


I remain true to my **motto**: 'In a world where you can be anything, be kind.'

Collaboration should not only deliver results but also bring joy.
