What an Interim Marketing Leader is (and isn't).
This isn't a fractional CMO arrangement, and it isn't a freelancer picking up a few tasks. It's a defined, temporary leadership placement built around one goal: keep your marketing function running at full strength from the day your leader leaves until the day their replacement is fully onboarded.
I step into the role itself, not beside it. That means owning the campaigns already in motion, being the point of contact your agencies and vendors report to, keeping performance updates flowing to executives, and making the calls that can't wait for a hire to be made.
When your permanent leader starts, I hand off a department that's running, not one that needs to be rebuilt.
What's you’ll get when you hire Jonna as your Interim Marketing Leader.
1. Rapid state-of-the-business audit. In the first one to two weeks, I map every active campaign, channel, vendor contract, and reporting obligation so nothing falls through in the handoff.
2. Day-to-day management. I run point on the campaigns and channels already underway, and manage any agencies, freelancers, or marketing staff already in place.
3. Leadership reporting. Performance updates, budget tracking, and strategic recommendations continue on whatever cadence your leadership team expects with no gap in visibility.
4. Triage of anything time-sensitive. Renewals, launches, budget deadlines, and vendor decisions get handled as they come up, not left waiting for a hire.
5. Candidate search support. I can help shape the job description and sit in on candidate interviews, bringing a practitioner's perspective to what the role actually needs day to day.
6. A real handoff. A 30/60/90-day transition plan for your incoming leader, so they start with context and momentum instead of a blank slate.
It’s not just stopping the bleeding after a leader leaves, it’s keeping the momentum they built going to ensure your business goals don’t falter.
Who this is for
This fits businesses that already run marketing as a real function, there's a budget, there are active campaigns, and there are agencies or team members who need direction, but the person who led it just left, is going on leave, or was let go before a replacement was lined up.
It's probably not the right fit if you don't have marketing activity in motion to protect, or if you're looking to build a marketing function from scratch rather than keep an existing one running. That's a different conversation.
