To My Skeptics
Why Work with an FCMO?
We’re a small and mighty, expert-led team powered by AI and a network of specialists—delivering high-impact marketing while empowering your internal team to scale and sustain it.
You Can’t Possibly Do ALL of What You Claim.
I hear you.
I get this question all the time.
“You offer strategy, execution, content, branding, digital, demand gen—how do you do all that with just a few people on your website?”
The short answer? Because we don’t operate like a traditional agency.
We Don’t Just Deliver Marketing—We Empower Your Team to Own It
A lot of agencies want you to stay dependent on them.
They keep the strategy behind closed doors. They manage the tools, the data, the execution—so when you need something, you have to go through them.
That’s not how we work.
Our goal isn’t only to run great marketing—it’s to make sure your internal team is equipped to sustain and scale it.
That means:
- Training Your Team, Not Just Doing the Work – Whether it’s demand generation, content marketing, sales enablement, or analytics, we coach internal teams on best practices, proven strategies, and the latest tools so they can execute with confidence.
- Giving You Visibility Into What’s Working – No more black box marketing. We set up dashboards, reporting systems, and feedback loops so you have a clear, data-driven view of what’s driving growth—and what’s not.
- Building Systems That Scale – We don’t just create campaigns. We build repeatable frameworks, processes, and automations that make execution smoother and more effective—even after we step back.
- Creating Playbooks & Documentation – We develop clear, actionable playbooks that outline messaging, workflows, and strategies, so your team doesn’t have to reinvent the wheel every time.
- Mentoring Early-Career Marketers & Cross-Functional Teams – Many life sciences companies have marketing teams made up of early-career professionals or people who came from science, not marketing. We guide them through real-world marketing execution, helping them develop skills that drive business results.
We’re here to bridge the gap—to lead marketing while empowering your team to own it long-term.
Because great marketing isn’t just about execution. It’s about building capability.
And when your team is trained, equipped, and confident, you don’t just grow—you sustain that growth.
But what if you don’t have a team?
Small Team. Big Results. Here’s How.
Over the almost 20 years I’ve been in this business, I’ve run the gamut of team sizes.
Some years, we were a team of 3. Other years, we were 21 strong.
I always hire strong talent internally, but often, it simply doesn’t make business sense to keep a lot of specialists on staff.
And one thing that’s been consistent—no matter the size of the core team—is the network of deeply specialized, industry-specific contractors, partners, and experts we bring in as needed.
We don’t believe in overstaffing just to “look big.”
Instead, we operate with a small, agile core and a highly curated network of senior-level specialists—people who’ve spent decades in life sciences marketing, demand gen, branding, content, UX, development, and beyond.
That means we can bring in:
- Peer FCMOs for strategic input on big-picture growth and commercialization
- Demand gen experts who don’t just generate leads but build scalable growth engines
- Brand strategists & designers who translate complex science into clear, compelling visuals
- Content creators with PhDs and deep technical expertise—because your audience is smart and they’ll know if you’re faking it
- Developers who’ve built and optimized high-performing platforms for life sciences companies
We don’t guess. We don’t generalize.
We build teams custom to the challenge at hand.
Why This Works (And Why It’s Better Than a Big, Bloated Agency)
A traditional agency needs full-time staff to stay busy.
That means they push work to junior people, even when it’s not the right fit.
It means they sell cookie-cutter solutions that don’t actually solve the right problems.
And it means they charge you for overhead—not just expertise.
We don’t do that.
- We only bring in specialists when they’re needed.
- We don’t waste time keeping people “busy.”
- We scale the team up or down based on what’s required—so you get top-tier talent without unnecessary cost.
What you see on the website is the core team—the brain trust, the strategic drivers.
What you don’t see?
The dozen deeply experienced, hand-selected experts we deploy for the exact work you need.
You Don’t Need a Big Team. You Need the Right Team.
So yeah, you won’t see 20 people on our site.
But you will see decades of experience, a track record of results, and a team structure that makes sense for how life sciences companies actually grow.
Because it’s not about looking big.
It’s about delivering big.
And that’s exactly what we do.
How We Do More, Faster—Powered by AI
We’ve been using AI in our workflows for more than half a decade.
Not because it’s trendy.
Not because it replaces expertise.
But because it makes us faster, smarter, and more effective.
AI helps us:
- Accelerate research, strategy, and insights. Instead of spending days analyzing market trends, competitive landscapes, and customer sentiment, we leverage AI tools to process massive amounts of data in hours. That means sharper strategies and better-informed decisions—faster.
- Create content without losing the human touch. We don’t use AI to write like a robot—we use it to augment human creativity. AI helps us structure complex ideas, generate drafts, and refine messaging so we can focus on what truly matters: clarity, precision, and storytelling that resonates.
- Optimize SEO and digital performance. AI allows us to pinpoint what your audience is searching for, predict content trends, and ensure that the work we produce actually gets found by the right people—scientists, researchers, clinicians, and decision-makers.
- Refine targeting and personalization. AI enables us to segment audiences at an incredibly detailed level, ensuring that campaigns aren’t just reaching people—but reaching the right people with the right message at the right time.
- Turn data into action. With AI-driven analytics, we don’t just track metrics—we identify patterns, gaps, and opportunities that lead to smarter marketing decisions and better ROI.
AI doesn’t replace human expertise. It amplifies it.
That’s how a small, agile team delivers the kind of impact that outperforms traditional agencies.
Because when you combine deep industry experience with cutting-edge AI, you don’t just work faster. You work smarter.
And that’s exactly what we do.
If you need a different approach to growth, let’s talk.
If you need an experienced growth team that moves fast, delivers high-quality work, and actually understands life sciences, we’re ready when you are.
