THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Your business is growing faster than your marketing can keep up with.
You're spending on marketing but can't always tell what's working. Or you don't yet have senior marketing experience in-house, and you're making decisions without the right perspective to back them.
Hiring a full-time CMO takes months and costs more than most growing businesses are ready for. Agencies are expensive, slow to move, and they deliver execution, not leadership.
That's where a fractional CMO fits.
HOW WE THINK ABOUT MARKETING
Smart strategy
Clear positioning, defined priorities, and a commercial plan built around how your buyers actually make decisions.
Engaged audiences
Consistent, credible presence across the channels that reach your market, whether that's institutional buyers, advisor networks, or B2B decision-makers.
Better systems
Marketing that runs well without you in the room, with the right tools, clear processes, and AI applied where it genuinely reduces effort.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Studio Ludo works with technology and financial services businesses, including fintech, wealthtech, investment platforms, boutique investment firms, and the SaaS companies serving them. Most of our clients have revenue and momentum, but don't yet have senior marketing in place. They're building something sophisticated, selling to sophisticated buyers, and ready for marketing that understands both.
With more than 20 years in global financial services, we understand the industry, the people in it, and how they think about trust, risk, and relationships.
TWO WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
● ONGOING ENGAGEMENT
Fractional CMO
Ongoing senior marketing leadership, embedded in your business. We lead the marketing function the way a full-time CMO would: setting strategy, directing the team, managing external partners, and ensuring the work connects to commercial results.
Commitment
Typically one to three days per week
Shape
Ongoing, reviewed regularly
● SCOPED ENGAGEMENT
Marketing Refresh
For businesses that know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start. Over two to three months, we work through positioning and messaging, build a practical go-to-market plan, and put the right systems in place. Everything is documented for your team to carry forward.
Duration
Typically two to three months
Shape
Defined scope, clear endpoint
ABOUT STUDIO LUDO
Studio Ludo is led by Louise Douglas, with over 20 years' experience across global financial services, B2B tech, and start-ups in Australia, Asia, and Europe.
A practice built for founders and leadership teams who need marketing to work as hard as the rest of the business.
ON AI
AI doesn't need to be complex. Applied thoughtfully, and with a clear view of where it adds value versus where it adds risk, it makes marketing more efficient, more consistent, and easier to run. We help businesses work out the difference.
