Fractional Marketing Director

Your marketing, with someone in your corner. I help you find focus, make confident decisions and move your project forward.

Let's talk

Over 12 years of experience in marketing, brand and growth.

From a fresh perspective on a key decision to hands-on marketing leadership, I adapt my support to what you need. As your Fractional CMO, I can step in as your part-time Marketing Director to lead your strategy and team.

Your team is doing the marketing.
Who's setting the direction?

Campaigns are running, ideas are on the table and people are doing their jobs. But deciding what to prioritise, where to invest the budget or whether a new opportunity is worth pursuing still comes down to you.

And that makes sense. These decisions affect your whole project, not just your marketing.

But there comes a point when senior experience can make a difference. Sometimes you need a sounding board, sometimes a fresh look at your strategy, and sometimes someone to lead your marketing alongside your team.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • You want someone to think through your marketing with.Someone you trust to explore ideas with and bring perspective to your decisions.
  • You're ready to take your marketing further.You're considering new channels, campaigns or markets and need an experienced perspective on where to invest and what to prioritise.
  • Your team needs a shared direction.To bring talent, priorities and goals together.
  • You work with several agencies and specialists.And you want everyone's efforts to move in the same direction.

That's where I can help.

Hi, I'm Ana.
Ana Rivera, Marketing Director
Hi, I'm Ana.

A marketer at heart.

I've spent over 12 years working in marketing, brand and growth. My career has taken me from a startup and an agency, where I worked with major consumer brands, to eight years leading marketing for a Canadian edtech company with an international presence, alongside its founder's personal brand.

I've learned that a good strategy involves much more than campaigns, data and results. There are people, conversations, decisions and teams that need to move in the same direction.

I like to understand projects from the inside: asking questions, listening and connecting ideas. I also believe in taking action, making decisions and taking responsibility.

Today, as a Fractional Marketing Director, I bring that experience to companies ready to keep growing, getting involved in their projects and working closely with their teams.

Brands and projects I've worked with

  • Nestlé
  • Purina
  • Contasimple
  • LingQ
  • Steve Kaufmann

Where I've studied

  • ESADE
  • ESIC Business & Marketing School
  • Universitat de Lleida
  • Instituto Canario de Turismo
  • AllWomen
