About Third Act Marketing

The marketing landscape is always changing and it can be hard to keep up.

One thing, however, will never change…

If you want to get results, you need a strong foundation, a clear strategy, and you need to be able to execute.

Sounds obvious, right?

Well, you might be surprised how many companies skip the foundational work completely, then spend an enormous amount of time developing strategies that aren’t all that simple or clear.

Other companies (through no fault of their own) spend all of their time just kind of winging it when it comes to execution.

In either case, the result is a lot of wasted time and money, and a serious lack of results.

That’s why I started Third Act Marketing, a Fractional CMO consulting practice that provides companies with a variety of ways to get help with both strategy and execution.

Imagine not having to worry about marketing ROI because you’ve “got a guy” and he’s on top of it.

That’s my goal with every single client I work with.

So now the question is… are you ready to level up and get more out of your marketing investments?

Our services

Strategy Services:

Month-to-Month Fractional CMO Services

One of the best ways we can help you level up is by joining your team (sort of). At the end of the day, a Fractional CMO should feel like an extension of your team. We will work with you and your team on an on-going basis to help you build and maintain a strategic foundation for all of your marketing efforts AND provide valuable support, feedback, and guidance when it comes time to execute. You get access to an experienced marketer with decades of knowledge and experience without the cost of having to hire and retain an expensive full-time resource.

Packages start at $3,000 per month (minimum 6-month commitment)

Marketing Workshops

In addition to Fractional CMO engagements, we also offer marketing workshops where we roll up our sleeves and work alongside you and your team. During a half-day session, we’ll develop custom strategies and execution plans that will get you closer to accomplishing your goals. Every workshop is customized based on your goals. Our time could be spent on brand strategy, marketing strategy, messaging, your website, social media strategy, content strategy, email strategy, sales and marketing funnels, and more. The important thing is that you come out of it with clarity, confidence, and a plan for how to execute and get more out of your marketing investments.

Both in-person and virtual options available. Includes a discovery call to set the agenda and a follow up after the workshop with notes and feedback.

What our clients say

“I wasn't sure if a marketing consultant would be a good investment or if I would find someone who understood our needs, but I don’t worry about that anymore. Dan has been at the helm of many important projects for us over the years. During that time he has helped us increase our intakes and we’ve gotten a lot better at measuring marketing performance. Everything feels so much more streamlined, organized, and clearly defined when working with Dan and he always makes us feel like we are his most important client. I’ve recommended Third Act Marketing to several people, and I will continue to do so.”

Julianne Neely
Founder of Individual and Family Connection

"I've worked with Dan for many years and have come to rely on his expertise. He's helped me with a marketing plan for several companies. He not only recommends a plan but also has the ability to execute it. It's hard to find a reliable resource like Dan."

Anthony Snowell
4x Founder

“After a few short months of working with Dan, we've seen a big difference in how we approach marketing. We now have clear, measurable goals in place with tactics that can be tested for effectiveness. As a result, we’ve sold out shows AND our last annual fundraising gala was hugely profitable. It is such a pleasure to finally feel like we found a marketing consultant who knows what they are doing. We are operating at a much higher level than we ever have when it comes to marketing and when we do succeed now it no longer feels like luck.”

Founder of Chicago Tap Theatre
