The Fractional Marketing Engine

Senior strategy, dedicated execution and a full marketing team without building one in-house.

Most RIAs do not have a marketing idea problem. They have an execution problem.

The strategy is there. The opportunities are there. The backlog is there. But the internal capacity to move fast, stay consistent, and turn ideas into finished work is usually missing.

AZELLA FILLS THAT GAP

Our Fractional Marketing Engine gives your firm a dedicated marketing lead supported by senior strategy, creative, SEO, development and content resources — so marketing finally moves without your leadership team having to manage every detail.

on your own

Stop wasting valuable time, money and resources trying to run marketing yourself.

You spend $16,500+ a month ($200k+ annually) trying to recruit, onboard and manage a separate in-house graphic designer, web developer and SEO specialist on your payroll. Let’s not forget your time wasted at your hourly rate.

Depending on the tier you choose, you can select 1, 2, or 3 specialized departments as your monthly focus. These are foundational, long-term engines rather than one-off tasks.

Fractional Marketing Manager FAQs

Have questions about how we work and what you get? We’ve got all the answers you need.
1. Who is the Fractional Marketing Manager (FMM) program ideally built for?

This program is designed specifically for growth-focused RIAs and financial advisory firms that have found themselves trapped in the “Management Tax” of marketing. It is ideal for firms that:

  • Have outgrown generic, out-of-the-box marketing templates and need custom, compliant assets built from scratch.
  • Want to aggressively scale their digital footprint (SEO, Video, Social, or Paid Media) but lack the internal executive leadership to manage it day-to-day.
  • Want to avoid the steep overhead, training time, and benefits packages required to hire a full-time, in-house Chief Marketing Officer or Marketing Director.

Traditional agencies give you a passive account manager who simply takes messages and passes them to a hidden production pool—resulting in missed industry nuances, compliance bottlenecks, and slow turnaround times. In-house hires, on the other hand, require constant oversight, hand-holding, and management.

Our Fractional Marketing Manager model gives you the ultimate competitive advantage:

One embedded tactical Lead backed by a centralized execution department. Your Lead understands RIA compliance, integrates directly into a private channel inside our secure Slack workspace, and independently pulls the levers on our design, development, and content teams to execute tasks autonomously. You get elite executive strategy and rapid production without the management headache.

We believe in earning our seat at your table by delivering execution speed and momentum starting on Day 1. We know advisors are hesitant to lock themselves into rigid, long-term contracts before seeing real outcomes.

That is why we offer a heavily discounted introductory rate for your first 3 months. Our immediate priority during this sprint is to eliminate your existing marketing backlog, build a reliable asset pipeline, and prove our velocity. If we are not maintaining the elite standards or operational momentum your firm expects, you retain the absolute right to cancel the program at any point during these initial 90 days—no questions asked.

Core Services vs. Active Projects

A Core Service refers to the ongoing, high-level marketing category (or department) that Azella manages for your firm every single month. Depending on the tier you choose, you can select 1, 2, or 3 specialized departments as your monthly focus. These are foundational, long-term engines rather than one-off tasks.

  • Examples: Continuous SEO optimization (such as Search Atlas management and writing blog content), monthly Branded Social Media management, Ongoing Graphic Design, or routine Website Copy & Page updates.

  • The Model: You can switch your Core Services month-to-month if your business needs evolve (e.g., shifting focus from SEO to Social Media).

Active Projects

An Active Project represents the specific tactical execution asset currently moving through the pipeline. While you have an unlimited backlog to dump all of your marketing ideas out of your brain, the number of projects we are simultaneously building is limited by your tier to 1, 2, or 3 concurrent active slots.

  • Examples: Designing a specific new brochure, building out a newly approved events landing page, creating a custom PowerPoint template layout, or setting up a brand-new ad campaign.

  • The Model: Operating on a “one-in, one-out” sequence. Once an Active Project is completed, approved, and moved to the “Complete” column, your Fractional Marketing Manager immediately drags the next priority item from your unlimited backlog into production.
