Hi, I'm Jackie.

Enterprise rigor plus growth-stage execution. That dual lens is rare in the fractional CMO market, and it's exactly what compounds marketing into real revenue.

Jackie Rieck

Hi, I'm Jackie. I've spent my career building the marketing engines behind category leaders in CPG and durables. I partner with companies looking for senior marketing leadership that operates inside the business, not above it.

I speak the language of CPG and durables. Brand strategy, product positioning, go-to-market planning, and channel execution. The full marketing stack for companies that build, market, and sell real products.

Twenty-six years across Cargill, Polaris, Toro, Best Buy, Geek Squad, and King Technology. I learned how category leaders operate at Fortune 500 scale, then embedded inside growth-stage companies to apply that discipline where it matters most.

I work embedded, not detached. I take the strategy, own the roadmap, and stay with your team until the numbers move.

The Trigger Moments

When companies call.

Companies don't hire a fractional CMO at random. They hire one when something specific is happening, and execution alone won't solve it.

Pre-Launch

The miss you can't afford.

A new product, brand, or category move is coming. The strategy can't be wrong, the positioning can't be soft, and the go-to-market plan has to land the first time. The cost of getting this wrong is twelve to twenty-four months of recovery.

If you're building toward a launch and the marketing strategy isn't yet built to match the size of the bet, that's exactly the situation I'm built for.

Capability Gap

Execution without strategy.

The team is busy. Campaigns are running, agencies are billing, dashboards are full. But nobody is connecting the activity to the revenue line, and nobody is making the strategic calls that should be made before the work begins.

If your marketing function is executing well but thinking thin, that's exactly the situation I'm built for.

The Bleed

Spending more, losing ground.

Marketing budget is up. Results are flat or down. Share is moving the wrong direction, customer acquisition costs are climbing, and the board is asking harder questions every quarter.

If you're spending more on marketing and the numbers are moving the wrong way, that's exactly the situation I'm built for.
