How can we create a Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy that resonates with veterinarians?

Veterinarians are highly focused on practicality. Your GTM strategy needs to align with their priorities—efficiency, reliability, and patient care. We help you craft a value proposition that speaks their language, supported by proof points and case studies that build trust and drive adoption.

What’s the best way to position our technology in a crowded veterinary market?

Positioning starts with understanding what sets your solution apart. We analyze your competitors, identify your unique advantages, and develop messaging that highlights your differentiation. From there, we design a clear strategy to connect with both veterinarians and investors, making your technology impossible to ignore.

How do we ensure our marketing strategy drives measurable results?

We focus on strategy before tactics, leveraging frameworks like Duct Tape Marketing to ensure every marketing effort supports your business goals. By defining clear KPIs, refining your messaging, and aligning your execution plan, we ensure your marketing delivers tangible outcomes that move the needle for your business.

MLaaS is ideal for innovation-driven brands, especially in veterinary services, that already have marketers or agency partners in place, but lack the strategic leadership to bring it all together.
Unlike a typical Fractional CMO who often owns execution, MLaaS embeds strategic leadership into your existing team. We align your efforts, elevate your marketers, and lead from within, without taking over.
Veterinary services are our specialty, but we also work with healthcare, biotech, and other innovation-led companies that value strategy, structure, and high-trust leadership.
After a discovery call, we typically onboard within 2–4 weeks, depending on your team’s readiness and scope.
We lead a deep dive into your goals, brand positioning, marketing systems, and team dynamics, then build a strategic roadmap to align your efforts. From there, we begin executing the first month of that plan, providing hands-on leadership and team support from day one.
