Nashville Marketing Consultant & Fractional CMO
Escape the chaos and confusion of DIY marketing
I’m Jerad Schutt — Nashville-based marketing consultant and fractional CMO with 20+ years of experience helping brands clarify their message, connect with customers, and communicate with conviction.
Fractional Marketing Leadership
Dedicated marketing leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
A fractional CMO gives you senior-level marketing leadership on a part-time basis — executive expertise without the expense of a full-time hire.
This isn’t typical marketing consulting, where someone delivers a strategy and disappears. It’s ongoing leadership: someone who sits at your executive table, owns marketing outcomes, builds and guides your team, and drives long-term, sustainable growth.
CAPABILITIES
Everything a cmo owns.
On your terms.
From part-time marketing leadership to developing brand identities, comprehensive marketing services to help businesses at every stage get ahead.

Senior marketing leadership at your executive table. Part-time hours, full-time ownership.

Authentically you
I strip away the clutter to reveal the raw, authentic core of what makes your business great — then help you say it with conviction.
