- Fractional CMO, 25-location subscription business

- Building SEL IP
Not an agency you brief and wait on. The leader in the room, setting direction, building the team, and tying the work to the outcomes the business is measured on.
Fractional CMO
The marketing executive seat, on a fractional basis. We own brand, strategy, team, budget, results, and the digital, performance, and AI-driven marketing engine, from brand and content to paid media, social, and lifecycle, embedded in your leadership group for as long as the mandate requires.
Strategy & business building
Business plans, investor materials, go-to-market, and pre-acquisition strategy. Turning a vision into something investors and boards can back.
Advisory & communications
A senior mind to pressure-test strategy, hiring, and spend, and to shape how the business speaks to investors, customers, and stakeholders.
Shannon C. Bienvenue
Since 1994, we've been the team companies bring in when marketing needs an owner: standing up demand generation from zero, repositioning brands that had outgrown their story, rebuilding go-to-market, and assembling the teams to execute it.
That work reaches well past marketing. We've built business plans and investor frameworks, led pre-acquisition strategy and investor relations, and produced ventures from the ground up, across food and beverage, finance, aviation, sport, the performing arts, publishing, education, manufacturing, insurance, and more. It spans the UK, UAE, Asia, Africa, and North America, and it means we read a new business quickly and find the leverage fast.
Shannon founded SB Creative Group to give companies that leadership from one accountable seat: the strategy, the communications, and a network of 65+ specialists to deliver it.
Led marketing, customer care, and pricing for a 25-location subscription business through restructuring.
As fractional CMO to a 25-location subscription business serving roughly 15,000 customers and 150+ staff, we lead target marketing, the customer-care funnels, and the procedures and policies that hold retention and pricing strong, working alongside the leadership team.
Held 30% price increases across two seasons with no loss in registration volume, delivered a 25% improvement in cash flow, and kept total registrations steady even as the business restructured and reduced its locations.
Built the business plan and investor framework for a gold-trading firm operating across the UAE, UK, and Africa.
As CMO and head of operations, we built the company's business plan and investor-facing materials, shaped the brand and communications for a sophisticated investor audience, and put the operational structure in place to support growth across its operations in Dubai, London, and Africa.
Led pre-acquisition strategy and investor relations for an airport acquisition.
Strategy and marketing lead on the acquisition of an airport in the UK, driving investor relations, supporting due diligence, and building out the team for the transition.
