MARKETING FROM THE CEO CHAIR, NOT THE AGENCY COUCH

Red Rhino: Fractional CMO Support for Fast-Growing Brands

We bring clarity to the chaos—fixing weak positioning, leaky funnels, and scattered strategy.

Not an agency. Not fluff. Just sharp, strategic marketing that moves the needle.

LET'S BUILD SOMETHING THAT PAYS OFF

WHAT RED RHINO FIXES

Random acts of marketing? Not here. We bring structure, focus, and a roadmap tied to real business goals.


If your brand sounds like everyone else, you disappear. We clarify your value and make sure your message sticks.


Ads costing more and delivering less? We help you stop the bleeding and scale what actually works.


Leads are dropping. Handoffs are messy. We connect the dots so both teams hit their numbers.


Not sure who to hire—or how to lead them? We fill the strategic gap and build the right team or partner setup around you.


No CRM plan? No reporting clarity? We build the systems that make your marketing run (and scale).



You had traction, then things slowed. We help identify the real bottlenecks and reignite momentum.



A FOUNDER'S STORY

Bethany Jeanfreau – Building Brands that Actually Grow

Bethany Jeanfreau did not set out to become a Fractional CMO. She earned it—by building real businesses, leading global teams, and turning “good enough” marketing into serious momentum.

As Co-President of Image3D, she took a retro novelty brand and transformed it into a category leader—scaling revenue through sharp storytelling, audience-first campaigns, and scrappy, strategic marketing. Under her leadership, the company did not just survive in a niche market—it thrived, winning awards, driving national press, and proving that creative nostalgia can be a growth engine when paired with smart execution.

But her marketing muscle was forged long before that.

In Shanghai, Bethany cut her teeth in a high-speed, hyper-competitive environment where campaigns had to land fast and make a difference. That is where she learned to make strategy simple and results visible. In Prague, she led remote teams across time zones and cultures, learning how to unite people under a clear brand vision. Now based in Lisbon, she brings it all together—delivering global perspective, grounded leadership, and marketing that translates across markets and metrics.

Bethany does not run an agency. She embeds as a growth architect—rolling up her sleeves alongside founders and marketing teams to clarify positioning, align channels, and build marketing infrastructure that scales. She knows how to go from "let’s try this" to "this is working," cutting the fluff and keeping the focus on traction.

Whether a company needs a refined go-to-market strategy, a reset on paid media performance, or a full-stack fractional CMO who actually sees the big picture, Bethany brings a rare combination of strategic thinking, operator discipline, and creative edge.

Red Rhino exists because founders need more than freelancers and less than a full-time CMO. They need a partner who can diagnose the real bottlenecks, build the right systems, and deliver marketing that leads the business—not just follows it.

Bethany is that partner.

What is a Fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO is a part-time executive who runs your marketing team and is responsible for all your marketing outcomes.

A great fractional CMO does not just assess goals—they dig into what is working, what is wasted, and build a focused marketing plan that actually drives results.

We make sure your team is not just performing—but dialed in and accountable. At the same time, we build the systems and processes that turn your marketing from a cost center into a machine that drives real, repeatable growth.

 That is exactly what we do for our clients—cut through the noise, align marketing to real goals, and drive results that matter. If you are ready to grow, let’s talk.

Highlights of what other clients have shared:

"I had the pleasure of working with Bethany on a marketing strategy consultation for my podcast, and it was an incredibly valuable experience. She came prepared with insightful recommendations and a well-thought-out approach to expanding my reach and impact.

Bethany helped me broaden my perspective on podcast marketing, showing me that it’s not just about promoting content—it’s also about building and engaging community. She introduced a collaboration strategy that leverages partnerships with other leaders, allowing me to add value to their audiences while growing my own.

Her ability to assess what’s working, provide clear next steps, and spark new ideas was impressive. I appreciated her creativity, enthusiasm, and strategic mindset. While I haven’t implemented the full strategy yet, the session gave me fresh options and a new way of thinking about growth. I highly recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a smart, strategic, and engaging fractional CMO."

Bethany Jeanfreau - Fractional CMO Case Studies

Scaling Success: 

How Image3D Revamped Their Strategy and Revolutionized B2B Sales.

Founded in 1997 and proudly rooted in Milwaukie, Oregon, Image3D LLC redefines storytelling with custom 3D reel viewers. Transforming cherished photos into captivating, interactive reels, we create timeless keepsakes and innovative marketing tools. Blending nostalgia with modern flair, Image3D crafts experiences that inspire connection and leave a lasting impression.


Before working with me, Image3D struggled to capitalize on market opportunities. Internal disorganization left their marketing agency unsupported, creating a disconnect that hindered campaign success. Their reliance on a limited number of channels further compounded the issue, leaving significant revenue streams untapped and restricting their ability to reach broader audiences effectively. This lack of coordination and strategic channel utilization kept them from achieving their full potential.


They were grappling with inconsistent B2B sales performance, a stagnant revenue stream, and a troubling decline in securing higher-value, larger deals. Compounding the issue was a lack of adherence to proven sales best practices, leaving opportunities untapped and growth stalled.


We transformed their approach by launching strategic, 

multi-platform marketing campaigns to elevate their B2B sales. The sales and marketing teams were restructured for peak performance, a seasoned sales manager was brought in to lead the charge, and underperforming staff were removed to ensure focus and efficiency. The result was a revitalized, growth-driven operation poised for success.


The results spoke for themselves. B2B sales experienced impressive growth of 25%, fueling an overall sales increase of 12% annually. Even more remarkable, the overall conversion rate climbed by 63 %, reflecting a stronger, more effective sales and marketing strategy. This transformation not only boosted revenue but also set the stage for sustained success.
