James Kerridge
Fractional CMO & Growth Partner

Build the engine.
Compound the growth.

I work with founders and leadership teams who need more than a strategy deck. Whether you're building from scratch, accelerating growth, or resetting what isn't working, I bring the experience to diagnose it clearly and the hands-on capability to fix it.

Previously led marketing at QuiteLike (a Coles new venture), Bailey Nelson and Harris Farm Markets.

Operator, not just advisor.

The gap between a good strategy and a growing business is execution. I've spent thirteen years learning how to close it, inside consumer businesses with real targets, real teams and real P&L pressure.

I operate at the strategic level and I execute. Both matter in every engagement I take on.

Seven ways I help businesses find the growth.

01
Growth Strategy
Clear direction on where to play, how to win, and what to prioritise to drive sustainable growth.
02
AI Accelerator
Practical application of AI tools to move faster, work smarter and find leverage across your marketing operation.
03
Acquisition & Performance Marketing
CAC-efficient customer acquisition across paid, organic, referral and partnership channels.
04
CRM & Retention
Lifecycle marketing, reactivation and churn reduction strategies that lift retention and lifetime value across the customer journey.
05
Growth Audit
A clear-eyed assessment of your current marketing activity with a concrete point of view on where the growth is and how to unlock it.
06
Marketing Strategy
Brand positioning, go-to-market planning and integrated campaign strategy built around your customer.
07
Ecommerce & Digital
End-to-end ecommerce strategy across channel architecture, conversion, technology and digital experience.

Two ways to work together.

Let's talk.

If you're a founder or leader wrestling with a growth problem, building something new, or trying to reset what isn't working, I'd like to hear about it.
