Someone who does the job of a Chief Marketing / Communications Officer without sitting on your payroll full time. Strategy, leadership, hands-on delivery, all the thinking a CMO / CCO brings, minus the cost of hiring one outright. For most businesses, it's the fastest way to get senior marketing communications firepower exactly when they need it, not a year after the budget finally gets approved.

Plenty. Even the best CMOs / CCOs can't be everywhere at once. Butter slots in alongside your existing leadership for the bid that needs extra firepower, the campaign that needs hands-on delivery, or the specialist content and communications work your team doesn't have capacity for. Think of it as senior reinforcement, not replacement.

Butter isn't one-size-fits-all. Need a brochure, well written, well designed, done properly? That's a project, scoped and priced as one. Need a photoshoot, a single campaign, a rebrand? Same deal. The fractional CMO / CCO model is there for businesses who want ongoing senior leadership. Most clients start smaller than that, and some stay there. Both are Butter.

Absolutely! Not every business needs a marketing communications partner, some just need one thing done well. Butter takes on standalone projects, brochures, photoshoots, single campaigns, a piece of content, and delivers them properly, without requiring a bigger commitment to get there.

That’s perfect because we don’t sell services. We offer solutions.

Let’s start with a conversation and Butter can scope an engagement around the actual problem, not a fixed menu, so if you're not sure whether you need a project or a partner, that's exactly the conversation we’ll have first.

The ones building Australia. Infrastructure businesses, construction and engineering firms, companies chasing or delivering major government contracts. Federal, state and local government, as well as ASX-listed multinationals down to ambitious SMEs punching above their weight in the tender market.

Infrastructure, transport, construction, engineering and government services. B2G, B2B, B2C, we've worked in the regulated, politically sensitive, high-scrutiny end of all three, and know how differently they each need to be handled.

A retainer means we're in your business every month, owning the strategy, running the activity, answering for the results. A project has a start, an end, and a fixed scope, a brochure, a photoshoot, a bid, a campaign, done and delivered.

Yes. Butter is based in Melbourne, but the work happens wherever the client is, nationally and remotely, with on-site time when the project actually calls for it.

Agencies sell you a team and a process. Butter is one senior operator who's actually run marketing and communications functions from the inside, not just advised on them from the outside.

Send an email, or fill in the form. First conversation costs nothing and comes with no obligation, we just want to understand the problem before we talk about anything else.
