Fractional CMO Services for Scaling Startups

Strategic Leadership & Hands-On Execution

If you’re a founder or business leader, scaling your company can feel like you’re juggling too many priorities. You’ve built something great, but now you’re at a point where the marketing needs to match your ambition—and that’s where I step in.


I’m Rick Ramos, an experienced Fractional CMO who specializes in helping startups and midsize businesses achieve sustainable, scalable growth. Over my career, I’ve helped companies like HealthJoy grow from $0 to a $500 million valuation and Adknowledge scale from $20 million to $200 million in revenue. I’ve also led marketing for the 17th largest website in the world.
