Fractional Marketing: Smart, Flexible, Effective
Why Fractional Marketing Matters
Local businesses, associations, and nonprofits don’t always need or want the overhead of a full-time marketing department. Fractional marketing gives you:
Senior-level expertise on demand
Flexible support that scales with your priorities
Quick, results-focused execution without bureaucracy
Strategy and implementation that drives measurable growth
Save money, get senior-level guidance, and see results faster without hiring a full-time team.
Stop Leaving Opportunities on the Table
Your competitors are not smarter. Their brands are simply clearer and better aligned.
Clear messaging, focused strategy, and consistent execution make the difference. Allow me to remove friction and confusion so your brand starts performing the way it should.
When everything is aligned, your organization stops leaking opportunities and begins producing measurable results. That could mean closing more deals, growing membership, or increasing donor engagement.
WHY Partner with BRAND REPAIRMAN?

Straight talk, practical solutions, and fast turnaround.
Based in Kansas City, I bring a Midwest mindset that values clear communication, efficient execution, and respect for your time and budget.
What Leaders Like You Are Saying
“Working with Cole at Brand Repairman has been an absolute game-changer for our organization. From creating polished, on-brand marketing templates to helping us build, launch, and manage our podcast, Cole has been able to step in and execute anything we’ve asked of him — and he does it exceptionally well.
He’s proactive, creative, and incredibly reliable. Just as importantly, he was easy to onboard and quickly understood our voice, goals, and systems, which made collaboration seamless from day one. Our entire team genuinely enjoys working with him, and that says a lot.
If you’re looking for someone who can jump in, take ownership, and deliver high-quality work without constant oversight, Cole is exactly that person. We trust him completely and can’t recommend him highly enough.”
Abby Cypher
Executive Director, Michigan Association of Administrators of Special Education
“Consolidating four companies into one parent brand is messy. Different logos, inconsistent messaging, scattered materials. It's the kind of project most agencies quote at six figures and stretch over six months.
Cole delivered faster and better at a fraction of the cost.
He took Regalo Health from four disconnected identities to one cohesive brand with a clear look, feel, and voice. New website. Comprehensive brand suite. Email signatures, business cards, marketing collateral, the works. Everything aligned and ready to use.
Here's what surprised me: Cole doesn't have a large team, but he outperformed every other marketing agency we considered. The quality was there. The speed was there. And he didn't charge like all of the other overpriced marketing agencies in town.
If you're facing a rebrand or consolidation and want quality without the overhead, Cole's the one to call.”
Josh Volland-Burns
Senior Vice President, Client Solutions, Regalo Health
"Working with Cole delivers immediate impact. That's the best way to describe what happened when he came on board with the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.
His contributions were felt across numerous departments. His attention to detail, innovative ideas, and impeccable organizational skills helped us execute our annual conference and trade show, along with smaller association events designed to drive membership value and increase sponsorship spend.
Cole is proactive, organized, and brings fresh thinking to every project. He's an exceptional partner and a valuable asset to any organization looking for someone who can step in and make things happen quickly.
If you need someone who delivers results fast without sacrificing quality, Cole's your answer."
Jamie Elliot
Account Development Manager, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America
"Partnering with Brand Repairman was one of the best decisions we've made for our appliance repair business. Over the last few years, Cole has helped us update our entire look and feel, and the impact has been undeniable.
We've grown our team, increased our revenue, and we can barely keep up with the calls coming in. Cole didn't just give us a fresh brand. He gave us something we're proud to put our name on. For home services businesses ready to level up, I can't recommend him enough."
Brett Jackson
Vice President, Dye’s Appliance
"Working with Brand Repairman helped elevate both our brand and our voice during a period of significant growth for our organization. Having a dependable marketing partner like Cole ensured that new programs and projects stayed aligned with MAASE’s mission, vision, and values, while delivering professional final products we felt confident sharing with state legislatures and key stakeholders. I can’t begin to imagine where we would be without Brand Repairman as a partner—their team took our vision and made it a reality, and their flexibility and responsiveness made a meaningful difference in our continued success."
Lindsey Zeller
Manager of Membership & Marketing, Michigan Association of Administrators of Special Education
“Cole and the team at Brand Repairman do an excellent job taking a marketing concept from our meetings and truly bringing it to life. Cole takes a consultative, business-first approach, investing time to understand the company, define ideal clients, and align messaging before executing marketing materials, website updates, and content.
Cole and his team are an incredible outsourced partner for positioning your business to attract the right prospects, convert interest into clients, and consistently nurture relationships through strategic marketing. Highly recommend.”
Nick Termini
Partner, Action Coach North Kansas City
“We had just purchased the business and were under a tight timeline to reopen. We trusted Cole to help us develop and roll out the new look and feel of our local restaurant, and he delivered. He handled our logo, website, emails, social media, menu design, and signage while we focused on all the other aspects of opening. It was so nice to have someone in our corner that we could trust. Time was of the essence, and Cole made sure our branding was ready when we needed it.”
Heather & Matt McQueeny
Owners, Rize N Shine
"Thanks to Brand Repairman, KC Ad Club now stands confident in the look, feel, and functionality of our online presence.
