ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Manesh Palli.

Let's cut to the chase
Most iGaming companies are drowning in random marketing acts.

The symptoms are clear:
 Scattered campaigns that don't connect
 Marketing that doesn't map to revenue
 CEOs stuck managing every marketing decision
 Teams moving slow, missing opportunities
I fix this.

My mission?
Transform scattered marketing efforts into a solid revenue engine that actually works.

Here's what I bring:
 Clear, bold strategy over random tactics
 Speed of execution over endless meetings
 Revenue focus over vanity metrics
 Hands-on leadership over theory
After 9+ years in iGaming & Marketing Leadership, here's what I know:
Marketing isn't just about "getting your name out there."

It's about building a well-oiled machine that:
 Makes your brand unmissable at expos
 Turns your social presence into a lead magnet
 Creates predictable, sustainable growth
 Gives CEOs their time back

No fluff. No guesswork. Just a proven system for turning marketing chaos into clarity.

If you're ready to stop random acts of marketing and start driving real growth, let's talk.

This isn't about incremental gains. It's about transforming your marketing into your strongest competitive edge.

Real Results. Real Impact.

Skip the fluff. Here's what leaders say about my work.

Attention to detail, holistic approach to marketing. Working with Manesh has been a joy all throughout

Eman Pulis

Founder, SiGMA

Hands down one of the most talented, dedicated and lateral-thinking marketing brains I've come across in 30+ years of business. And a rapid adopter too. Manesh was more than your average Marketing Manager at SiGMA when I was his CMO. He genuinely cared about his role, his team and the impact their collective performance had on overall brand reputation as well. His can-do attitude was infectious and he was liked by everyone.

Prash Patel

CEO, Kalima Network

Manesh has been fantastic to work with, very professional and organised; he’s been a great asset to the WA.Technology company & journey

Tim Scoffham

CEO, WA.Technology

I have worked closely with Manesh when we were both at SiGMA in 2020 and also afterwards when he became my client. Manesh’ extensive understanding of marketing strategies, combined with his incredible passion for the domain, is nothing short of outstanding. In addition to his professional acumen, Manesh is an absolute pleasure to work with.

He has also a very cool personality, fun to be around. I would love to work with him again, he is a pure professional.

Fractional CMO FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fractional CMO?

Think of it as elite marketing leadership, without the full-time overhead. You get a senior marketing leader for 10 focused hours per week who owns your marketing function and drives results. No micromanagement needed—just clear strategy and decisive execution.

What Does a Fractional CMO Do?

Strategic ownership of your marketing. Clear roadmap for growth. Team building and management. Full accountability for results. Weekly progress updates that matter.
No random acts of marketing. No consensus paralysis. Just focused execution.

What's the Investment for Fractional CMO services?

Costs scale with your needs, typically $3,000-10,000 monthly. Compare this to a full-time CMO at $150K+/year—you get strategic leadership without the bloated overhead. Every engagement starts at 3 months because real transformation takes time, not quick fixes.
Fractional CMO Advisor: $1,500-3,000/month (4 focused hours monthly)
Fractional CMO Engaged: $4,000-10,000/month (10 dedicated hours weekly)

Who's This Right For?

Fractional CMO is perfect for fast-growing iGaming companies making $1M+ revenue who:
Need clear marketing leadership
Want accountability, not committees
Ready to invest in strategic growth

Who Needs a Fractional CMO?

Fast-growing companies ($1M+ revenue/year) who understand marketing drives growth but can't justify a full-time CMO's overhead. You're ready for expert marketing leadership if you're:
Scaling beyond referrals and CEO-driven growth
Tired of random marketing acts without strategy
Need clear ownership of your marketing function
Want marketing that actually maps to revenue
Your challenge isn't tactics. It's strategic leadership that drives real growth.

Why Not Just Hire an Agency?

Agencies execute tasks. You still need someone internal defining, guiding, and managing their work. Without strategic leadership, you're paying for tactics without direction. A Fractional CMO brings what agencies can't:
Full ownership of marketing strategy and vision
Clear alignment between marketing and revenue
Team building and management that scales
Decisive leadership that drives real growth
One throat to choke for ALL marketing outcomes
