01 The Difference

Most marketing hires give you strategy or execution — rarely both, never at the senior level. Murad does the thinking and ships the work: positioning decks and the websites that carry them, campaign strategy and the email systems that run them.

What you get

A marketing department of one

Brand strategy, demand generation, marketing operations, web, email, SEO, analytics, video, and design — held by a single senior operator who needs no managing and no agency markup.

Who it's for

MedTech & HealthTech, $2M–$20M

Companies past the founder-marketing stage but not ready for a full-time CMO. You get senior judgment on a fractional retainer — roughly ten focused hours a week.
