Chantal Gerardy Australian Fractional Marketing Strategist
FROM DOER TO DIRECTOR

What Got You to 6 Figures is Exactly What’s Keeping You from 7

As your business scales, your role must shift. Relying on “gut feel,” manual effort, and a handful of random marketing tactics isn’t just exhausting,
it’s the ceiling holding you back.

To reach the next level, you don’t need more “hustle”, you need
a clear marketing system that actually runs.

DIRECTION

Know what to focus on, what to fix first, and how your marketing fits together.

DELEGATION

Make sure you, your VA, or your team know exactly who is responsible for what.

DELIVERY

Create the systems, rhythm, and follow-through that stop marketing from being reactive, rushed, or forgotten.

THIS IS THE SYSTEM FOR THE NEW LEVEL

Strategic Implementation & Fractional Oversight

Designed for the Service-based leaders, high-growth Innovators and
E-commerce founders,  ready to exit the weeds.

We don’t just hand you a strategy and wish you luck. We audit your unique gaps, build your custom marketing machine, and provide the ongoing leadership to ensure you or your team implements, works autonomously, and performs.

TAILORED STRATEGY FOR YOUR SCALE

We Meet You Exactly Where You Are

Whether you’re a solopreneur hitting a ceiling or a firm with an established team,
we build the right strategy, system, and support for your next stage of growth.

01

THE SOLO CEO
(Ready to Step Up)

You are still doing too much of the marketing yourself. What got you here worked, but now the hustle is becoming too hard to sustain.

You need: Clear strategy, a simple marketing rhythm, and the right systems to make your marketing easier to manage and easier to grow.

02

THE ESTABLISHED TEAM
(Ready to Align)

You already have a marketing VA or an in-house team member, but marketing still depends too much on you. Roles are unclear, communication is patchy, and things are not flowing properly.

You need: Clear direction, better systems, and support to help your team become more proactive and effective.

03

THE SCALING INNOVATOR
(Ready to Hire Right)

You know you need support, but you’re tired of the hire, fire, rehire cycle, and you don’t want to keep wasting money on recruiting fees, time, and energy on the wrong fit.

You need: A clear role, the right hiring process, and strong foundations so your new marketing support can hit the ground running.

THE FRACTIONAL DIFFERENCE

Strategy Without Implementation is Just an Expensive PDF

Most marketing consultants deliver a beautiful strategy document and then walk away, leaving you to figure out the “how.”
But the real challenge isn’t the plan, it’s the execution.

WITHOUT CLEAR DIRECTION, EVEN THE BEST STRATEGY TURNS INTO…

The “Who, How, and When” of marketing remains a mystery, leading to:

WE BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN VISION AND REAL-WORLD EXECUTION.

We don’t just hand you a plan; we install a Marketing Operation that is structured, delegated, and running, so you can finally step out of the “marketing manager” role.

OUR ENGAGEMENT INSTALLS:

Stop managing chaos. Start leading a well-managed marketing ecosystem that produces predictable results.

The Marketing Ecosystem

The 6 Pillars of a High-Performance Marketing Ecosystem

We don’t believe in “random acts of marketing.” We audit and optimise these six interconnected areas to ensure your business isn’t just visible,
but scalable and profitable.

1

Website

Your website should do more than look good. Chantal helps you review and strengthen your messaging, structure, and customer journey so it clearly explains what you do, builds trust, and makes it easier for the right people to take the next step.

2

Google

Google helps you get found by people already looking for what you offer. Chantal helps you audit and improve your search presence so you can show up with more clarity, credibility, and opportunity to convert.

3

Social Media

Social media should build trust, connection, and consistency. Chantal helps you create clearer direction around your content so your social media supports your brand and keeps you visible without relying on random posting.

4

Email Marketing

Email helps you stay connected to leads and clients after the first touchpoint. Chantal helps you review and strengthen your follow-up so more opportunities are nurtured instead of missed.

5

Lead Generation

Lead generation helps turn interest into enquiries. Chantal helps you identify the right campaigns, funnels, or lead magnets for your business so you have a clearer path from visibility to leads.

6

Partnerships & Join Ventures

Partnerships help you grow through aligned audiences, referral networks, and collaborations. Chantal helps you spot the right opportunities and build a strategy that expands your reach in a meaningful way.

How Chantal approaches each area

Whether you already have some of these elements in place or you’re starting from scratch, the review process is tailored to where you are right now. If something is already running, Chantal will assess it for low-hanging fruit, quick wins and improvements that can make an immediate difference.

If an area doesn’t exist yet, she’ll work with you to build the right strategy for your business before anything is implemented. Nothing is added for the sake of it. Every decision is made with your goals, your team, and your capacity in mind.

THE ROADMAP TO AUTONOMY

Your Strategic Implementation Journey

We move from high-intensity building to strategic oversight, ensuring your marketing machine is designed correctly, implemented fully, and optimized as you scale.

Our Philosophy

Meaningful Marketing:
Built for Life, Not Just for Likes

Most marketing approaches focus on the constant hustle, more noise, more posts, more “living online.” We believe your marketing should work for you, so you don’t have to work for it.

We aren’t interested in band-aid solutions or “quick-fix” tactics that leave you burnt out. Our goal is to move you from survival mode to a thriving ecosystem, where your business grows while you reclaim your time to live more offline.

THE 6 S’S FOR
SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS

We build your marketing machine on six core pillars that ensure your growth is deep, not just wide:

  • STRATEGY: Clear direction that eliminates “random acts of marketing.”

  • SKILLS: Empowering you and your team with the expertise to execute.

  • SUPPORT: Fractional leadership and accountability so you’re never alone.

  • SYSTEMS: Repeatable processes that run in the background 24/7.

  • SOFTWARE: The right tools (like GoHighLevel & AI) to automate the heavy lifting.

  • SOUL: Marketing that aligns with your values and builds genuine connection.

Because the goal isn’t simply more marketing activity. The goal is a well-managed ecosystem that generates consistent results, supports your community, and remains manageable as your business scales.

It’s time to stop surviving the hustle and start thriving in your life.

Tired of the Hire-Fire-Rehire Cycle?

Am I really ready for a marketing VA?

5 ROCK SOLID steps that turn the idea of help into a high-performing reality, whether you’re still debating, already drowning, or stuck with the wrong hire.

1. Get Crystal-Clear on What, Who & How

The real blocker: most owners can’t list the actual work that needs doing, let alone the skills, software know-how, and personality traits that make a VA thrive.

  • Tasks & tools audit: we unpack every marketing job on your plate, then map the must-know platforms

  • Skill stack & character fit: from copy flair to data diligence, we outline the exact mix your VA needs. We also flag the soft skills like initiative, coachability, calm under pressure, that stop micromanagement and keep the VA fully used, not under-utilised.

> Outcome: You finally know what to delegate, who can do it, and how they’ll slot into your day-to-day without you breathing down their neck.

2. Lock In an Agency-Backed VA
(Yep, We’re Pro-Agency)

Skip VA roulette. We partner with VA agencies who hand-match you with pre-vetted talent, keep them accountable, and protect you with airtight contracts and online safety, so you don’t get taken for a ride.

3. Recruit & Interview Support That
De-Risks Every Choice

Most owners ask the wrong questions, hire on “vibe,” then pay the price in hours and headaches.

  • Done-for-you shortlisting: we support you in screening résumés against the skills & character brief from Step 1.

  • Interview support: we can attend the interview and vet the VA according to the job brief (YUP, we watch for red flags).

  • Decision scorecard: together we find the “best fit” and don’t just guess.

> Outcome: Zero guesswork, no hiring regret, and weeks of lost time clawed back.

pexels-fauxels-3184292

4. Deliver a Marketing Implementation Framework Your VA Can Run With

A doer without a roadmap = inefficient. We create together:

  • Your content calendar & brand message bank (voice, tone, pillars, hook lines).

  • Channel playbooks for social, email, blog, and funnels, so every post, campaign, and reply is on-brand and strategic.

  • Checklists & SOPs for rinse-and-repeat execution.

> Outcome: Your VA rolls out consistent, conversion-driven marketing from Day 1 instead of asking, “What should I post?”

5. Onboard, Upskill & Manage for Continuous Wins

We plug the VA into project management system, run live trainings, and set communication rhythms, so tasks flow and results compound without you babysitting.

HIGH-LEVEL DIRECTION. ENSURED EXECUTION.

The Marketing Strategy & Implementation Program

We don’t just hand you a plan and hope for the best.
 We help you put the right structure in place, guide your team, and support the implementation, so your marketing is no longer relying on guesswork, hustle, or last-minute effort.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR SUCCESS

Our "Momentum & Meaning" Guarantee

Investing $6,000 is a commitment, and we treat it with the seriousness your business deserves. We are focused on Thriving, not just Surviving.

The First 30 Days Strategy Lock

If, after our first 30 days of intensive auditing and strategic mapping, you don’t feel we have identified enough “leaked revenue” or “saved time” to cover the cost of the program, we will work with you until you have a roadmap that does—or we’ll part ways as friends.

The “No-Lock-In” Oversight

Your $777/mo fractional support is designed to provide ongoing governance. If your business needs change or you feel your team has achieved total autonomy, you can cancel the monthly oversight with 30 days’ notice. No “trapped” contracts, just a partnership that works as long as it provides value.

The Implementation Insurance

We don’t just hand you a PDF and wish you luck. If your VA or team member leaves during our program, we will support you in the recruitment and onboarding of their replacement to ensure your marketing machine never stops running.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES

Real Businesses. Real Results.

Service-Based Solopreneur

Michelle

Owner · Lotus Naturopathy and Massage

“I hated you at the beginning… I’m so grateful you didn’t let me give up, you helped me keep and grow my business.”

The Starting Point

Michelle arrived exhausted and seriously considering closing her doors. She’d already worked with multiple coaches — without results.

  • Burnt out and in survival mode
  • Doubting whether her business could be profitable
  • Had “tried everything” and felt stuck
  • Ready to walk away from her business entirely

What Changed

Rather than offering comfort, Chantal offered accountability. She challenged Michelle’s thinking on pricing and offers, and held her to the actions that actually moved the needle.

  • Challenged pricing and offer structure
  • Held firm when Michelle wanted to quit
  • Clear strategy, not just motivation
  • Refused to let her stay small

The Outcome

Michelle didn’t close. She stabilised, then grew. Today her business looks completely different to where she started.

  • Business stabilised and grew
  • Two massage therapists now on her team
  • Services fully booked out
  • Deep gratitude for being pushed

E-commerce Business Owner With a VA

Kylie

Founder · BBQArm

Kylie Fanning - BBQArm

From frustrating VA experiences and reactive marketing — to a clear system with structured B2B funnels and a VA who executes independently.

The Starting Point

Kylie had already hired several offshore VAs through an agency. On paper, she had help. In reality, the chaos remained.

  • VAs underperformed and needed constant supervision
  • Marketing was inconsistent and unstructured
  • Still responsible for almost everything herself
  • Questioned whether hiring VAs was worth it

What Changed

Instead of replacing the VA, Chantal helped build the structure for marketing to actually work — from role definition to systems and weekly rhythms.

  • Defined a proper marketing implementation role
  • Mapped 6 key marketing areas for the VA
  • Created SOPs and project management systems
  • Participated in interviewing and hiring
  • Introduced B2B funnels and email automation

The Outcome

Marketing moved from ad-hoc and chaotic to structured and consistent. Kylie now has capacity to focus on product development and growth.

  • VA executes a clear weekly marketing plan
  • B2B funnels active for wholesalers and retailers
  • Consistent lead generation campaigns running
  • More time freed for product development

Business Owner With an In-house Marketing Manager

Sharon

Business Owner · Hospitality

Sharon Roden - The Beachomber Hotel Nelson

A receptionist with occasional marketing tasks became a confident in-house marketing lead — running campaigns, managing content, and reporting on results weekly.

The Starting Point

Sharon had a capable receptionist — Hannah — helping with occasional marketing. There was no defined role, no strategy, and no system to keep things consistent.

  • No clear marketing role or responsibilities
  • Hannah unsure what to do each week
  • Marketing reactive and inconsistent
  • Sharon still managing marketing personally

What Changed

Chantal helped clarify who does what — Sharon as strategic decision-maker, Hannah as implementation lead — and built a full marketing ecosystem around that.

  • Clear role separation: strategy vs implementation
  • Website improvements and customer journey mapping
  • Email newsletters and automated campaigns
  • Consistent social media and content planning
  • SOPs documented for team continuity

The Outcome

Hannah is now a confident marketing lead. Sharon no longer has to personally manage day-to-day marketing — it runs with clear ownership.

  • Hannah manages all weekly marketing activities
  • Campaigns and content schedules running consistently
  • Regular reporting on results and performance
  • System continues even if team members change

Business Owner Helped with VA Hiring

Belinda

Business Owner · Course Creator & Coach

Belinda Love

“I feel like the best business owner I’ve ever felt in my entire life. It’s not a matter of if — it’s just when. We’re just doing the work now.”

The Starting Point

Belinda had hired two VAs before — both lovely people, neither the right fit. The role was undefined, the wrong tasks were prioritised, and she was too hesitant to push for more.

  • Two VA hires that didn’t work out
  • Marketing role never clearly defined
  • Still managing and directing everything herself
  • “I was too scared to push them to do more”

What Changed

This time, Chantal was involved from the start. Before hiring, they built the structure — the role definition, priorities, workflows, and onboarding — so the new VA stepped into clarity, not confusion.

  • Clarified marketing role scope and outcomes
  • Refined hiring brief and selection process
  • Onboarded VA into clear workflows
  • Introduced “working bee” sessions together

The Outcome

Belinda is now launching more programs, running events, and selling more offers — with significantly less stress because the right support is finally in place.

  • VA takes initiative without being asked
  • Designing workbooks for course upgrades independently
  • Managing social media and marketing assets
  • More launches, less stress

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fractional marketing strategist?

A fractional marketing strategist is essentially an experienced marketing leader who works with your business on a part-time basis.

Instead of hiring a full-time marketing manager, you gain strategic direction, structure, and accountability from someone who has already helped hundreds of businesses simplify and strengthen their marketing.

My role is to:

  • clarify your marketing strategy
  • identify what is actually worth focusing on
  • design the systems that support your marketing
  • guide whoever is doing the marketing (you, a VA, or a team member)
  • ensure things actually get implemented

Most businesses don’t need another marketing course or another strategy document.

They need structure, direction, and implementation support so their marketing runs consistently.

That’s the role I play inside the business.

That’s completely fine.

Many clients start the program before they have a marketing assistant in place.

During the first phase of the program we:

  • clarify what marketing support you actually need
  • define the role and responsibilities
  • determine whether a VA or in-house person makes sense
  • help create the job description and recruitment brief

 

If you decide to hire a VA, we can help guide the recruitment and onboarding process.

Typically this takes around 3–4 weeks.

Most VA agencies charge a recruitment fee of around $1,500, which usually occurs after the VA has started.

This means you can begin building your strategy and systems first, and then bring the right support into the business once the structure is clear.

Perfect.

Many of the businesses I work with already have a VA, but they’re often underutilised or unclear on what they should actually be doing.

In that situation we focus on:

  • clarifying the marketing priorities
  • defining the VA’s role more clearly
  • creating a weekly marketing rhythm
  • building systems and workflows they can follow
  • giving them training and guidance so they can work more independently

The goal is to get far more value from the support you already have.

Many clients find their VA becomes significantly more productive and confident once they have clear direction and systems.

That works just as well.

The program is designed to support businesses whether marketing is done by:

  • the business owner
  •  a VA
  •  an in-house marketing assistant
  •  or a small team

 

If you already have someone in the role, I help provide the strategic leadership and structure that many internal marketing roles are missing.

 

This typically includes:

  • clarifying priorities 
  • setting clear weekly activities 
  • building systems and processes 
  • reviewing results and adjusting strategy

 

Your team member continues doing the marketing, but with clear direction and accountability.

That’s completely fine.

In the first phase we audit your existing systems and determine:

  • what should stay
  • what needs improving
  • what may be unnecessary or duplicated

 

Many businesses are already paying for tools they aren’t fully using.

The goal isn’t to replace everything.

The goal is to simplify your marketing ecosystem and ensure the tools you have actually support your strategy.

If additional tools are needed, I’ll recommend the simplest options possible.

That’s also very common.

During the program we gradually build the systems your business needs, such as:

  • lead generation processes
  • email nurture systems
  • content workflows
  • delegation and project management systems
  • reporting and tracking

 

This is part of the implementation phase of the program, where strategy becomes repeatable marketing activity instead of random bursts of effort.

The goal is to create marketing that runs consistently in the background rather than relying on you constantly pushing it forward.

The program is designed as a 12-month journey with three phases, which allows enough time to build and implement real systems inside your business.

The structure is:

Phase 1 – Quick Start
$6,000 initial investment
(8 weeks of weekly strategy and implementation sessions)

Then ongoing support:
$777 per month
(12-month minimum commitment)

This allows us to move through the full framework:

  • Strategy & clarity
  • Implementation & systems
  • Ongoing optimisation and momentum

Many clients find this structure easier than paying a large consulting fee upfront because the investment is spread over time while the work is being implemented.

Every business is slightly different, but a typical example might look like this:

Month 1
$6,000 — Fast Track strategy and implementation phase begins

Month 2 onwards
$777 per month for ongoing strategic support

If you choose to hire a VA during this time, a typical structure might look like:

Month 2
VA recruitment fee (approximately $1,500)

Month 2 onwards
Your VA salary or hourly rate

Optional
OBMHub / software tools (if needed)

The key point is that these costs usually occur at different times, not all at once.

This makes it easier to build the right support structure gradually.

The program is structured as a 12-month minimum commitment.

This is intentional.

Real marketing systems take time to:

  • design
  • implement
  • test
  • refine
  • optimise

The three phases of the program guide this process:

Phase 1 – Strategy & clarity
Phase 2 – Implementation and systems
Phase 3 – Ongoing momentum and optimisation

The goal isn’t quick wins alone.

The goal is to build a marketing machine that continues producing results long after the initial strategy is complete.

Success in this program usually looks like:

  • marketing feels clearer and more manageable
  • your VA or team member knows exactly what to do
  • marketing happens consistently instead of sporadically
  • leads begin coming through predictable systems
  • you spend far less time thinking about marketing yourself

 

Ultimately, the aim is to create a structured marketing ecosystem where strategy, systems, delegation and execution work together.

So marketing stops feeling chaotic, and starts functioning like a well-run part of your business.

Not at all.

Many of the business owners I work with are:

  • excellent at what they do
  • great with clients
  • strong at sales or service delivery

 

…but they’ve never been trained to build and manage a marketing system.

That’s exactly what this program helps with.

You don’t need to become a marketing expert.

You just need the right structure and support around the marketing function of your business.
