Hi, I’m Ashley Stanford 👋
Fractional CMO, strategist, and marketing educator helping businesses scale smarter—with strategy, AI, and a touch of marketing magic.
I started my career in 2005 designing websites and mastering SEO. By 2009, I was deep in social media marketing, and in 2019 I expanded into full-funnel strategy. Today, I partner with agencies, SaaS companies, and entrepreneurs to simplify marketing, save time with AI, and scale sustainably.

Consulting
Fractional CMO-level strategy and execution support for agencies & businesses.
When I’m not geeking out over AI workflows or testing the latest marketing tools, you can usually find me with my three kids, junk journaling with a cup of tea, or hunting down magical coffee shops and apothecaries. I believe business should be optimized for growth, but life should be optimized for happiness.
But here’s the truth: I’ve never been interested in marketing for marketing’s sake. What excites me is creating systems that free people up — whether it’s a CEO who suddenly has breathing room in their calendar, or a solopreneur who feels like they finally have a team behind them.
Marketing is my craft. But freedom, creativity, and human connection? That’s the magic
