Marketing Leadership as a Service

After building your foundation with the Thavma Strategy Blueprint, real momentum comes from consistent, strategic leadership, day in and day out. That’s what MLaaS delivers: embedded, senior-level guidance that aligns your team, sharpens your brand, and drives focused execution. You get a trusted partner who leads with clarity, integrates with your team, and helps you grow with confidence.

Senior Marketing Leadership, Without the Full-Time Hire

Already have a marketing team, but need strategic guidance to bring it all together?

MLaaS gives you embedded, executive-level leadership to sharpen your strategy, unify your brand, and level up performance, without the overhead.

What You Gain:

  • Strategy That Leads: Clear direction aligned to business goals.

  • Brand Consistency: Unified messaging, visuals, and voice.

  • Team Clarity: Defined roles, smart execution, zero guesswork.

  • Trusted Partnership: Senior-level insight, support, and mentorship.

Your Team Has Talent. Now It Needs Direction.

You’ve built a marketing team. You’ve got contractors, campaigns, and content flowing. But something’s missing. The results don’t match the effort—and your strategy feels scattered.

That’s where Marketing Leadership as a Service (MLaaS) comes in. It’s not execution. It’s not another agency.

It’s embedded leadership—delivering the strategic clarity, structure, and senior-level guidance your team needs to move forward with confidence.

You need a trusted partner who leads with clarity, challenges with care, and delivers with integrity.

At Thavma, we blend strategic excellence, team empowerment, and real-world insight—so veterinary and innovation-driven brands can finally trust their marketing again.

Our mission is simple:
