The Climate Marketing Blueprint

If you run a climate tech company, you probably already know your marketing isn't pulling its weight. It's much harder to see why from inside the company. It could be the message, the buyer, the channel or the timing, and you need to know which to fix first.

The Blueprint gives you an outside read from someone who has spent 20 years marketing complex technology to buyers who take their time saying yes.

Step 1 · 15 minutes, free

Fit call

I'll ask a few pointed questions and tell you if this is the right place to start. If it isn't, I'll say so.

Step 2 · 90 minutes

Interview

You and whoever owns revenue. We go through your pipeline, your buyers, your positioning, your deck and the last few deals you lost. Send me the deck and anything else you have beforehand. I'll read all of it.

Step 3 · Within five business days

Brief and walk-through

A short written brief: where you stand, what I found, what I'd change, what to aim for and the first step. Then 30 minutes to walk through it. Push back on anything that doesn't fit.

You can act on it the next morning, use it to brief a first marketing hire or an agency, or bring it back to me. If you want a full 30–90 day plan built from it, book a Marketing Intensive within 30 days, and your $750 counts toward it.

Who it's for: climate tech founders and CEOs who have their first customers and no full-time CMO yet, especially if a raise or a first marketing hire is coming in the next year.

Live Working Session · 90-day Plan

Marketing Intensive

For founders who know something has to change and want a plan their team can run.

We spend half a day together, with whoever needs to be in the room to make GTM decisions. We look at what has worked and what hasn't. We uncover where your team falls short, including whether you need people who can do the work, not just more strategy. We also check whether your agencies and vendors are worth what you pay them. Within a week, we've ranked the moves that matter. You leave with a 30–90 day plan that lays out what to do and in what order.

Already done a Climate Marketing Blueprint? We start from your brief, so we don't spend the morning on background, and your $750 counts toward the day.

What we cover

 

What's actually worked in your marketing so far, and what hasn't.

 

Where the gaps are on your team — including whether you need in-house execution help, not just strategy.

 

How your current vendors and agencies are performing against what you're paying them.

 

A prioritized list of marketing moves you can start executing immediately.

What you leave with

A synthesized action plan for the next 30–90 days. You'll know exactly what to tackle first — whether that's handling it in-house, bringing in the right vendor, or going deeper with me.

Six weeks

Strategy Sprint

Foundation and live campaigns, along with a 3–6 month strategic playbook. Before we touch channels, we get clear on who you are, who you're selling to, and why they should care.

What we build

Positioning & messaging

A clear story, value proposition, and proof points that hold up against how your buyers actually decide.

Target accounts

A finalized ideal customer profile and a prioritized account list.

One to two launch-ready campaigns

Thought leadership, an outbound ABM motion, or another approach — messaging and cadence built and ready to run.

Content engine

A content strategy built around your team's real expertise, positioning you as the authority in your category.

How the sprint runs

Discovery

Dig into your assets, past performance, and competitive landscape; align leadership on what marketing must deliver.

Positioning

Nail down who you're selling to and why they should care — positioning, messaging, target accounts.

Strategy

Build the campaign and channel strategy that puts that positioning to work.

Roadmap & handoff

A documented, prioritized roadmap your team can execute — plus time to make sure you know what to do next.

   WAYS TO KEEP WORKING TOGETHER

Once the foundation is built, stay embedded — or on call.

Engaged Fractional CMO

Senior marketing leadership, without the full-time overhead.

For companies who need an ongoing strategic partner, not a project. I embed with your leadership team and stay close enough to guide the decisions that matter — how you position a new product, how you respond when a competitor shifts the market, how you adjust as your funding stage changes.

 

A standing role in leadership conversations — present for the strategic decisions, not every meeting.

 

Ongoing positioning, messaging, and GTM strategy that adapts as your market and stage shift.

 

Direction for your team, agency, or vendors, so execution stays aligned to one coherent strategy.

Strategy Advisor

An executive sounding board, on your schedule.

Not every company needs a standing CMO engagement. Some need someone who knows climate tech, will tell them the truth, and is reachable when a real decision comes up. Periodic, focused check-ins that keep your strategy honest as things evolve.

 

Regular check-ins to review progress and troubleshoot what isn't working.

 

A second opinion when it counts — a new market, a positioning shift, an underperforming channel.

 

Enough structure to keep strategy on track, without the cost of a deeper engagement.

   FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The questions founders ask first.

What is a climate tech fractional CMO?+
I serve as the marketing executive at scaling climate tech companies. Depending on stage, that could mean creating positioning, adjusting messaging, developing demand generation, or optimizing existing programs in preparation for a particular milestone. As a member of your executive team, I provide strategy insight, work directly with cross-functional leaders, and manage in-house staff, agencies, and vendors.
Who do you work with?+
Climate tech founders and CEOs from seed through Series B, as well as SMBs in clean tech and renewable energy. My clients build technologies that reduce emissions, accelerate the energy transition, or deliver measurable sustainability outcomes — and they need marketing that matches the scale of their ambition.
Why not hire a full-time CMO?+
Many startups and growth-stage companies don't need, or can't afford, a full-time CMO. A fractional CMO provides the same senior-level expertise and leadership at a fraction of the cost, with the flexibility to scale as your needs grow. I plug into your business in days, not months, and drive results quickly with proven systems.
What if we already have a marketing team or agency?+
Perfect. I don't replace your team; I make them more effective. As a fractional CMO, I provide strategy, oversight, and alignment so your team executes with clarity and focus — the strategic layer that ensures your investment in marketing delivers measurable results.
How do you measure success in climate tech?+
I don't focus on vanity metrics like clicks or impressions. We track what matters in climate tech: pipeline velocity, deal cycles, regulatory compliance milestones, investor confidence, and revenue growth.
What can I expect in the first 30 days?+
We begin with an audit of business goals, customer journey, campaigns, budget, and teams. For pre-seed and seed companies that haven't begun marketing, competitive analysis and positioning are often the starting point. By the end of month one, you'll have deliverables such as a positioning canvas, message house, KPI scorecard, marketing calendar, and a prioritized campaign plan.
