Executive search for marketing and CMO leadership roles
§01 · Why This Is Different

The best marketing leaders in consumer brands are not applying anywhere.

A CMO who can build brand equity and a performance marketer who is genuinely ROAS-literate are two different skill sets, and the people who have both are already working inside a competitor's growth team, not browsing job boards. Reaching them takes research and a confidential approach, not a job posting.

How fees work

What marketing roles do you place?

Chief Marketing Officers, Chief Growth Officers, performance marketing leads, and brand or content marketing managers, for consumer brands, including retail, jewellery, D2C, FMCG and lifestyle businesses, scaling past their first 50 stores or an equivalent revenue stage.

How is this different from a generalist recruitment agency?

A Rs 10,000 service fee (including GST) starts the search. It is not refundable, and it is adjusted against the final fee of one month's CTC, invoiced when your hire joins.
