Quick Answer
MarkCMO case studies document the marketing transformations, pipeline results, and revenue outcomes achieved through fractional CMO engagements -- showing the specific before/after improvements in demand generation, CAC, pipeline velocity, and marketing-attributed revenue that growth-stage B2B companies have achieved. Each case study follows a consistent framework: the challenge (marketing stall, founder-dependent growth, inefficient ad spend), the strategy applied (ICP refinement, channel restructure, positioning overhaul), and the measurable outcome (pipeline increase, CAC reduction, revenue attribution improvement) within a defined engagement timeline.

B2B SAAS
Healthcare Technology · $4M ARR at Engagement Start
From $4M to $16M ARR in 18 Months
A venture-backed healthcare SaaS company had strong product-market fit but stalled growth. Their sales team was closing deals but marketing wasn't building pipeline at the pace needed for their Series B. They engaged Mark as fractional CMO with a mandate: fix the demand engine.
What We Did
- Rebuilt ICP definition around highest-LTV customer segments (hospital groups vs. individual practices)
- Launched ABM program targeting 120 named hospital system accounts
- Created a content engine producing 8 clinically-credible pieces per month
- Rebuilt the SDR qualification process, cutting dead-end demos by 40%
- Stood up a partner channel (EHR integration partners) that became 30% of new ARR
"We went from struggling to explain what we do to being the obvious choice in our category. Mark turned marketing from a cost center to our biggest growth lever." — CEO, Healthcare SaaS
MANUFACTURING
Industrial B2B · $18M Revenue at Engagement Start
$40M New Pipeline in 12 Months From Zero Digital Presence

FINTECH
B2B Payments · Series A · Pre-Revenue Scale
Series A to Series B in 14 Months: $0 to $8M ARR
