“Before working with Chatter Buzz’s Fractional CMO services, our B2B business was executing marketing campaigns without a clear strategy. We needed a way to increase demand generation and nurture leads outside of trade shows & referrals — our primary marketing channel. With Shalyn’s leadership, she developed a data-driven marketing strategy that identified new lead generation channels and dramatically increased our sales-qualified leads. Thanks to their strategic leadership, we now have a scalable and measurable approach to growth.”
